From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Mary’s Guest House in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Mary’s Guest House is a guest house — a smaller, more personal kind of place to stay than a large hotel, where the welcome tends to feel warmer and the pace a little slower. It sits in Fort Lauderdale, and it makes a relaxing home base whether you are winding down after a cruise or setting up for a few days along the coast. The name says most of it: this is somewhere you settle in as a guest, not a number at a front desk.
You will locate it in Fort Lauderdale, a city known for its relaxed coastal rhythm and its mix of quiet residential streets and lively waterfront. For travelers coming off a cruise, that setting makes for a simple transition — a place to slow down after the noise of the terminal. The appeal of a guest house shows in its scale: fewer rooms, a more personal feel, and the sense that you are arriving somewhere that has been kept ready for you rather than checking into a large lobby.
When your driver pulls up to the door of Mary’s Guest House, the journey is done — no final transfer, no dragging bags across a parking lot. Your chauffeur handles the luggage from the vehicle, and you step out exactly where you are staying. After a long morning of disembarkation, that door-to-door finish is the part travelers recall: one ride from the terminal, ending precisely at the address you booked. Tell us your ship and arrival date, and the vehicle is staged to meet your group when you walk off.
The ride is a single private run from your ship’s terminal at Port of Miami straight to the door of Mary’s Guest House. There is no changing vehicles and no shared stops — your group rides together, luggage loaded in the same vehicle, from the pier to the address. Your chauffeur tracks your ship’s actual arrival and is staged at the terminal, coordinated by message as you clear the hall, so the car is ready when you reach the curb.
Because the pickup follows your ship rather than a fixed slot, the pace of customs and disembarkation never costs you the ride within the free waiting time — self-assist walkers come off early, checked-luggage groups later, and either way the driver is waiting. From there it is one straight run north to Fort Lauderdale, with the bags handled at both ends. You settle in, and the driver takes it from the port to the door.
