From $155 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lighthouse Cove Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Lighthouse Cove Resort sits right along the ocean at 1406 N Ocean Blvd, on the beachfront strip of Pompano Beach. It falls just north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, on a quiet stretch of the South Florida coast where an old fishing village and a Blue Wave beach set an unhurried tone. After days at sea, it makes a peaceful place to land, close to the sand and set apart from the noise of the busier tourist centers, so the first hours ashore stay relaxed.
The setting puts a good part of the Pompano and Deerfield Beach coast within simple reach once you have checked in. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier both draw walkers and anglers along the water, and the Pompano Beach Amphitheater sits neighboring for anyone who times an evening show right. For a slower afternoon, Quiet Waters Park offers green space a short way inland from the beach.
When your ride reaches the resort, look for your chauffeur at the main entrance. Your bags are carried in for you, so the final steps from the vehicle to the lobby are handled the same way the terminal curb was back at the port. And if a gap opens up before you fully settle in, the same private vehicle can be booked by the hour, a chance to see more of this coast or head down toward the city while your luggage stays safely aboard.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once you clear the hall, your chauffeur is reached by message and meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and points the vehicle north. The route runs a single direct leg up I-95, covering roughly 38.8 miles from the port to Lighthouse Cove Resort with no transfers or side stops along the way.
Plan on about 62 to 78 minutes from the terminal to the resort door, depending on the hour and how heavy the traffic runs. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the exits, so your driver is staged before you reach the curb, and the included wait window covers a slow gangway. The vehicle stays yours alone from the port straight through to the entrance at 1406 N Ocean Blvd.

We got off the ship with the kids worn out after the cruise, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Lighthouse Cove Resort a breeze. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Lighthouse Cove Resort is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. We went from the ship to the front desk of Lighthouse Cove Resort with zero hassle along the way. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — exactly right for the morning.
