From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Princess Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Miami Princess Hotel sits in the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels and office parks that spreads around Blue Lagoon just west of downtown. This is a corner of the city built for journey days, with hotel rows along NW 36th Street, business parks lining the lakes, and expressways reaching out in every direction. For anyone stepping off a ship with a flight to catch or a night in Miami before the next leg, the setting keeps the airport and the main highways close at hand.
Arriving guests locate a property geared toward people in motion. The front desk handles the practical side of a transit stop, with luggage holds for the hours between a morning disembarkation and an evening flight, and early check-in when a room is ready ahead of the usual time. The full picture of amenities, storage, and check-in windows lives on the hotel’s own page, so the details can be firmed up before the cruise even ends.
The surrounding district is quiet and functional rather than touristy, which suits a stopover well. Restaurants and everyday services sit within the airport corridor, the lagoon lends the region a bit of open water and green, and the highway ramps that create the neighborhood so handy also create it simple to reach straight from the port. Your ride ends at the hotel entrance itself, bags carried to the door, so the last stretch of arrival day is one short drive rather than a scramble across the city.
The journey begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Once your group and every bag are aboard, the driver follows SR-836 for the short run west toward the MIA Airport District, normally 17 to 21 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. There is no second stop and no detour along the way, just one direct journey from the cruise terminal to the door of Miami Princess Hotel.
Your chauffeur waits for you at the terminal, so there is no line to join once you clear the pier. Luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way and comes out at the hotel entrance, carried to the door beside you. Because the pickup is matched to your ship’s arrival, the plan already accounts for the busy port mornings when several ships empty at once.

Llegó puntual, todo justo a tiempo.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Miami Princess Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. There was plenty of room for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van to Miami Princess Hotel.
Our crew rode together straight from the terminal to Miami Princess Hotel, and nobody had to think about a thing.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Miami Princess Hotel a breeze. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and there was space for everything. We were dropped at the entrance of Miami Princess Hotel, not across the street.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Miami Princess Hotel antes de zarpar. El viaje de la terminal a Miami Princess Hotel fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
