From $155 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Marriot Hotel 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.
The Marriot Hotel sits along the coast north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, in the easygoing stretch where Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach meet the water. This is a quieter part of the South Florida shoreline — Pompano keeps its old fishing-village character, and Deerfield holds a Blue Wave beach — so arriving here feels peaceful rather than crowded. By road it lies about 39.3 miles from the cruise terminals at Port of Miami, a simple one-leg drive up from Dodge Island.
What you locate on arrival is a base that puts the ocean within simple reach. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier are both close by, good for a morning walk or a slow afternoon after days at sea. If you desire more than the sand, the Pompano Beach Amphitheater hosts open-air events, and Quiet Waters Park gives you green space and lakeside room a short way inland. It is the kind of setting that rewards an extra day or two before or after the ship.
For travelers coming straight off a cruise, the appeal is simple: the hotel sits at the end of one direct ride, not a string of connections. You step off in Miami, settle into the vehicle, and the next stop is the Marriot Hotel door. Come to unwind by the coast, or utilize the hotel as a launch point for the wider Pompano and Deerfield Beach region — either way, the ride gets you there without a scramble.
It works as a single door-to-door leg. Once your group clears the terminal exit on Dodge Island, your chauffeur is staged and waiting at the curb, ready to load the bags. From there it is a direct run north — about 39.3 miles via I-95, commonly 59 to 75 minutes depending on traffic — with no transfers and no luggage to drag across the port. The car is yours alone for the journey.
The timing is built around your actual disembarkation, not a fixed clock, so weekend mornings when the ships empty all at once are already factored into the plan. Coming off the ship, you obtain 60 minutes of courtesy wait after the scheduled pickup. Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the bags at both ends.

Confirmación rápida. Auto limpio. Todo bien.
Una maravilla. trato cordial desde el primer momento, la verdad el wifi funcionó, los chicos se entretuvieron en el camino.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Marriot Hotel so we all checked in together. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Marriot Hotel, it was absolutely worth booking. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
Primera vez de crucero solo desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado ahí mismo al salir para el viaje a Marriot Hotel no pudo salir mejor. Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, me sentí sin ninguna preocupación desde la terminal hasta la puerta de Marriot Hotel.
The group of us walked off at once and it was so easy to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Marriot Hotel — nobody splitting up. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly.
