From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort sits in North Broward, about 32 road miles up from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. It is the kind of place travelers point their day toward once the ship is behind them: a quieter corner of the county where the pace slows down and the focus shifts to rest. After a week at sea, that change of tempo is usually the whole point of the journey.
The resort keeps good company. Sawgrass Mills is close by out west, drawing the crowds with its shopping, and Amerant Bank Arena is within simple reach when there is a game or a show on the calendar. For a slower afternoon, the Plantation Historical Museum and Everglades Holiday Park are both nearby, so the area gives you options without asking you to drive far for them. The surrounding grid of Sunrise, Plantation, and Coral Springs fills in the rest with quiet residential streets rather than tourist bustle.
Because the resort sits north of the port rather than downtown, the arrival feels calm by the time you pull up. Your driver brings the vehicle to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so the last stretch of a long journey day is handled for you. Whether this is your first stop after the cruise or a few nights of downtime before heading home, you step out at the door with the luggage already in hand.
This is a straight, door-to-door run. Once your group clears the terminal exit, your chauffeur has the vehicle staged at the cruise curb, loads the luggage, and heads out with no stops in between. The route follows I-95 north for the roughly 32-mile hop to the resort, and the journey usually takes about 52 to 68 minutes depending on how the highway is moving that hour. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you the whole way and come out at the entrance.
Traffic on I-95 is really the only variable, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room built in rather than a slot cut to the minute. There is courtesy wait time on every port pickup, so if disembarkation runs slow the car is still there when you walk out. Tell us the ship and the date, and the driver is coordinated by message as your group comes off, self-assist walkers early and checked-luggage groups later.

Meu companheiro e eu descemos do navio no PortMiami e havia um carro privativo ali mesmo para nós para nos levar até Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort. Havia uma janela de cortesia a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para descer do navio.
No pudo ser más simple — un conductor esperando, maletas cargadas, y un viaje cómodo hasta Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car ready at the curb for the trip to Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort took the worry away. I’ve already saved them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so I didn’t have to struggle with anything.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from PortMiami to Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort for disembarkation morning, and it took all the guesswork out of it. I went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
Getting all of us off the ship and over to Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was room for everyone for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Lauderdale Beach Wellness Resort.
