From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Jade Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Ocean Jade Spa sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town where the shoreline is only steps from the front door. Guests who check in after a cruise frequently trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking straight from their room to the water instead of unpacking first. The town is built for that kind of easy day: you reach, drop your bags, and the beach is already waiting.
What sets this stretch of coast apart is the reef just offshore. Divers here walk into the water rather than boarding a boat, entering from the beach behind a main street lined with ice-cream shops and the old fishing pier. Anglin’s Fishing Pier and the shore-dive reef anchor the town’s quieter, salt-air character, and Datura Avenue and El Prado Park are close enough to fold into an afternoon once you land ashore.
On arrival, the pace is deliberately unhurried. The spa’s setting keeps the water, the pier, and the town’s short main street all within reach, so there is little need to plan much beyond stepping outside. Whether you came to dive the reef, cast a line off the pier, or just sit on the sand, everything here is arranged around the shoreline. It is the kind of place where the destination itself does most of the work, and where the change from cruise ship to beach town happens without a long inland drive breaking the mood.
The ride is door to door and planned around your ship. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already staged at the exact cruise berth your line uses, so there is no line to join and no watching an app for a car. Your bags go straight into the vehicle with luggage help at the curb, and the group rides together to the entrance of Ocean Jade Spa, never a shared car and never an added stop.
Because it is a private transfer, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed slot, which matters most on hectic turnaround mornings when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day. From the port, the driver carries you and your luggage the whole way and sets the bags down at the door beside you.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Just what we needed. calm behind the wheel and considerate.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Ocean Jade Spa so we all checked in together. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Ocean Jade Spa before anyone lost it. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver waiting at the terminal for the ride to Ocean Jade Spa — nothing left to chance. There was a board with my name on it at the terminal doors, so I didn’t have to look around. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of Ocean Jade Spa.
