From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Mar Bay Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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 desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Mar Bay Hotel sits up the coast in the twin towns of Hallandale and Dania Beach, where the county line runs close to the water. From PortMiami it is about 19.3 miles north, a simple run for a chauffeur who knows the terminals and the roads that link them. This is a door drop: the driver pulls up to the entrance, and your bags come off with you rather than sitting on a cart three floors down.
Because the property sits right on this stretch of the Atlantic, the beach is the natural first move once you have set your things down inside. You can leave the port behind, drop your luggage, and walk to the sand instead of hunting for a way to reach it. For travelers stepping off a ship after days at sea, that short distance to open water is part of why this address works so well as a landing spot.
There is ample to fill an extra day or two around here. Gulfstream Park brings racing and shopping under one roof, and Dania Pointe adds outlet stores and open-air dining a short hop away. Design lovers can walk the showrooms at the Design Center of the Americas, while Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park and an old-Florida fishing pier offer you quieter, greener hours by the coast. It is a corner of Greater Fort Lauderdale that rewards guests who linger past checkout, with the beach, the track, and the outlets all within reach of the front door.
The ride from the cruise terminal to Mar Bay Hotel is a single private leg, planned around the moment you actually walk off the ship. Your driver follows I-95 for the 19.3-mile trip north, a run that commonly takes 41 to 56 minutes depending on the hour and how heavy the port traffic is that morning. The vehicle is yours alone from the pier to the entrance, with no other passengers and no extra stops added along the way.
Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal your cruise line uses, so you are met rather than left to search. Every bag is handled from the curb into the vehicle and back out at the hotel, and it all stays with you for the whole trip. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to your disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, with the expected traffic already built into the plan.
