From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites sits along the Fort Lauderdale coast, a short walk from the water and well placed for anyone stepping off a ship and looking to trade the terminal for the beach. The property keeps you close to the sand without putting you in the middle of the crowds, so the end of a cruise can slide straight into a quiet afternoon by the ocean rather than a scramble for the next thing.
The setting is one of the reasons people pick this stretch of coast. Fort Lauderdale layers a broad promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries and storefronts of Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades sitting at its southern edge. It is a walkable, water-facing part of the city, and the hotel puts you within reach of all of it once the bags are down and the day is yours again.
On arrival, the natural move is simple: drop your luggage at Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites and walk toward the water. Anything about the stay itself — rooms, check-in times, on-site details — lives with the hotel directly; our part is the ride that gets you there without the usual arrival-day friction. Come departure, the same address is the pickup point, so the trip back to the ship starts right at the entrance rather than somewhere down the block.
Coming off the ship, your chauffeur is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in — so the disembarkation crush is the driver’s problem, not yours. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, the car takes I-95, and the run to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites is a single, direct leg reserved for your party alone. Budget roughly 60 to 76 minutes depending on the hour, from quiet mornings to full rush hour.
Leaving for the ship works the same way in reverse: the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance, loads every bag, and drives you back to the terminal on one direct route. Fuel and standard tolls are already inside the fare, so nothing is added on the day, and the pickup is timed around your schedule rather than app availability.

Una maravilla, manejó suave, nada brusco
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
After our cruise, my partner and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
I wasn’t going to fight for a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I reserved a private car from the terminal to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites. I knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
