From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to LaQuinta Inn at Universal Orlando in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
LaQuinta Inn at Universal Orlando sits in Orlando, close to the gates of Universal Orlando Resort and set along International Drive, the city’s main tourist artery. This is the corridor where Orlando stacks its attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center end to end, so the hotel puts you in the middle of the activity rather than out on the edge of it. For a group stepping off a cruise and heading straight to the theme parks, that location does a lot of the work for you.
The address you locate on arrival is an I-Drive one, which means the things most cruise guests come to Orlando for are all in reach from the same stretch of road. Universal Orlando Resort is the obvious draw, and ICON Park is close by for a lighter day or an evening out. The Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando also sit along International Drive, so whether your journey is built around the parks, a conference, or a mix of both, the hotel lands you in the right part of town.
Anything about the stay itself, room details, and park planning lives with Universal and the property directly. Our part is the ground transport: getting your whole group from the ship to the door of LaQuinta Inn at Universal Orlando in one private vehicle, with the fare locked at booking. You reach as a group, with your luggage, dropped at the main entrance, ready to start the Orlando side of the journey on your own schedule.
Pickup is at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. As you come off the gangway and clear the hall, your driver is organized by message and meets the group at the curb, so you are not hunting for a ride on a hectic disembarkation morning. Tell us the cruise line ahead of time and we stage at the correct terminal. The booking carries a 60-minute wait window at the port, which covers slow customs and luggage claim without costing you the ride.
