From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lambert Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Lambert Inn is a place to stay in Kissimmee, the well-known value base for travelers heading to the Orlando-region parks. It sits within easy reach of the US-192 / Irlo Bronson Highway corridor, the long strip that threads this part of Kissimmee together and lines it with vacation homes, casual dining, and the kind of everyday shops a family runs through mid-journey. Choosing a base out here keeps you close to the theme parks while giving your group a quieter place to return to at the end of a long day.
Old Town Kissimmee, with its carnival strip and classic-car nights, sits nearby, and the region’s gator attractions are minutes away as well. It is the sort of region where the parks are a short hop out and the pace slows down once you are back at the inn. That mix — close to the excitement, but set into a residential stretch — is exactly what draws groups to a Kissimmee stay rather than one packed into the busiest tourist core.
Water is part of the appeal too. Lake Tohopekaliga and the Kissimmee Lakefront lie within reach, giving you open shoreline, walking paths, and a break from the highway energy of US-192. When your chauffeur pulls up to Lambert Inn after the drive north, you arrive in a part of Kissimmee that is set up for exactly this kind of journey — parks by day, an easy base by night, and a little Central Florida lake country close at hand whenever you desire it.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that begins the moment you step off your ship. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact PortMiami terminal your cruise line uses, loads every bag into the vehicle, and heads straight north with no shared stops. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so once your luggage is aboard the journey is entirely yours — curb at the port to entrance at Lambert Inn.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the run up into Kissimmee, and the drive normally takes about 220 to 229 minutes across roughly 228 road miles, depending on the hour and traffic. Because disembarkation timing shifts from ship to ship, the pickup is planned around your vessel’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, and your driver stays coordinated by message as you clear the terminal so nobody is left waiting.

Every policy in full: FAQ
For an easy disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Lambert Inn. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.
Esperando en la acera apenas salí, y un trayecto tranquilo hasta Lambert Inn.
Unos amigos y yo bajamos del barco juntos y coordinamos una van privada de la terminal de cruceros a Lambert Inn. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir.
Getting a big group off the ship and over to Lambert Inn is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. Getting to Lambert Inn with no detours meant we could settle in without waiting around. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Cruising with the kids, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van waiting at the terminal Lambert Inn was worth every bit. The fare was locked in at booking, the same number we were quoted.
