From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to May-Dee Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
May-Dee Suites is a suites property in Hollywood, the coastal Florida city that sits between PortMiami and the open Atlantic. What defines this stretch of Hollywood is the ocean itself: the brick Broadwalk runs two and a half miles right along the water, and a low-key downtown gathers around Young Circle a short way inland. Arriving here after a cruise means trading the deck for the beach, with your room close to both.
Once you are settled, the neighborhood does the rest. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is the simple first walk, and ArtsPark at Young Circle anchors the downtown side with green space and events. Inland you cannot miss the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, its guitar tower marking the skyline, and West Lake Park adds more open water and trails neighboring in Hollywood. Guests staying here frequently fold one or two of these into the same afternoon they come ashore.
For the questions only the property can answer — room types, parking, and check-in timing — May-Dee Suites’s own official page is the place to look; we handle the ride, not the front desk. What we can promise is that your bags reach the door and your group starts the visit together. With Hollywood set right on the coast, a beach afternoon is the natural next move: drop everything at May-Dee Suites and walk toward the water while the cruise is still fresh in mind.
This is one clean run from the pier to the door. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Every bag goes into the vehicle, lobby to curb, and the reserved SUV or van is yours alone — no stops, no other parties, straight to May-Dee Suites.
From the cruise terminal it is roughly 19.4 miles by way of I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike, and you should count on about 38 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the exits, but because the driver is already in place, that congestion never becomes your problem. Tell us your cruise line and we position at the correct terminal for the meet.
