From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lifestyles Resorts and Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Lifestyles Resorts and Spa sits inland in Lake Mary, well north of the coastline where your ship docks. Reaching it is a genuine road trip rather than a quick hop across town, and that distance shapes the whole arrival: you leave the crowded port behind and end the drive in a calmer, quieter setting once the highway miles are done. It is far enough that the journey deserves to be planned around your ship instead of left to chance at the curb.
The route runs up Florida’s Turnpike as a single, direct leg, so the drive stays straightforward from the terminal curb all the way to the resort’s door. Because Lake Mary is a real inland destination, this is exactly the kind of run where having your own vehicle earns its keep: room to stretch out, your own climate zone, and a pace set by your party rather than a fixed schedule.
Many travelers reach Lifestyles Resorts and Spa at the tail end of a cruise, stepping off the ship in the morning and settling in by the afternoon of the same day. Arriving by private car means you pull up at the entrance with your bags already handled and nothing left to sort out on the ground. The door-to-door plan is built around your sailing rather than around whatever happens to be free when you land, so the final stretch of a long journey day turns into the simplest part of it.
The ride begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the hall, then meets your group at the curb and loads every bag, so there is no dragging luggage across a parking lot to locate a car. Once everyone is settled, the vehicle is yours alone for the whole trip to Lifestyles Resorts and Spa.
From there it is one direct leg up Florida’s Turnpike to Lake Mary, with the bags riding inside the vehicle and fuel and standard tolls already covered by the flat fare. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, but your driver is staged before you step outside, so the waiting is theirs and not yours. Tell us the cruise line and date, and the pickup is timed to the morning rush.

Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Lifestyles Resorts and Spa antes de zarpar. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — un alivio tras una semana a bordo.
