From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Mikosukee Hotel and Casino sits inside Miami’s MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels and gaming floors that grew up around the airport corridor. By road it rests about 19.4 miles from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami, close enough for a single, direct run once your ship ties up, yet far enough west that it feels a step removed from the downtown bustle you just sailed into. The property pairs guest rooms with a casino floor, so an arriving traveler steps off the water and into a place built to keep the day going.
The setting is pure Airport District convenience. The Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) runs alongside, and the Palmetto Expressway is neighboring, which is what makes this pocket of Miami so simple to reach from the port and so simple to leave again when your plans move on. Fly in, sleep, and roll toward the ship the next morning, or dock first and settle into the casino — either order works from here.
Once you have dropped your bags, the neighborhood gives you somewhere to go. Guests here frequently create time for the Blue Lagoon, the broad water feature that gives the corridor its name, and for the Miami Springs Golf Course a short way off. Both sit within the same Airport District, so an afternoon ashore never asks much of you beyond a short hop. It is a practical, well-connected base for the stretch between a cruise and whatever comes next.
Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your disembarkation rather than a guessed clock. When you walk off, the driver loads your luggage at the terminal curb, and the bags ride inside the vehicle with your group — no shared van, no extra stops. From there the route takes SR-836, the Dolphin Expressway, so the roughly 19.4 miles to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino is one direct leg out to the MIA Airport District.
Anticipate about 34 to 48 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on traffic and the hour. Because customs lines can run long, every port pickup carries 60 minutes of free waiting, so a slow walk-off never costs you the ride within that time. On the return, embarkation-day pickups happen at the hotel lobby at the agreed time, planned around your sailing schedule.

No port scramble — I walked off the ship and the car was waiting, then straight to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino. Would book again. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so I didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Reservé la noche anterior, reunión familiar en Miami, nuestro grupo, el monto se mantuvo igual al inicial. incluso con tráfico la ruta tuvo sentido. Lo guardamos para la próxima.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino took all the stress out of it. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
We cruised with a big crew and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino after disembarking. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino, it was money well spent.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino.
