From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean manor resort 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.
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 manor resort sits on the Fort Lauderdale beachfront, the coastal edge of a city Floridians like to call the Venice of America. That name comes from the canals lacing the region, which run from the Las Olas district out toward the Intracoastal, and from a promenade that traces the sand for mile after mile. The resort puts you within reach of that waterfront rhythm the moment your ride pulls up to the entrance.
Step outside and the neighborhood does most of the work. Las Olas Boulevard, with its restaurants and shops, is a short outing away, and Fort Lauderdale Beach spreads along the shoreline close by. Guests who desire a stretch of green create for Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, while the Riverwalk gives you a simple path to follow along the water. Each of these sits in Fort Lauderdale, so nothing on the list asks for a long haul.
Plenty of travelers dock in the morning and are wandering Las Olas or the beach by afternoon, bags already dropped at the resort. Anything about the stay itself — the rooms, the dining, the hours — lives on Ocean manor resort’s own page; our part is the ride between the ship and the door. What we can tell you is that the setting is squarely beachfront, the surroundings are walkable, and the arrival is built to hand you the day rather than eat into it.
The run from PortMiami to Ocean manor resort covers about 34.6 miles, and your driver leans on I-95 to link the terminal with the Fort Lauderdale beachfront. Count on roughly 49 to 66 minutes door to door, the spread depending on how I-95 is moving that day. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, a slow customs hall never leaves the vehicle gone within the free waiting time.
You clear the terminal, the driver meets your group at the curb, and your luggage goes straight into the vehicle for the one direct run north — no port shuffle, no dragging bags between stops. From there it is a single ride to the resort entrance, where the same hands that loaded the bags set them down beside you.

Reservei e deu tudo certo. Sem drama, sem pressa, sem mudança de última hora.
I was sailing on my own and arranged a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me right over to Ocean manor resort. The ride from the terminal to Ocean manor resort was quiet and relaxed, and I could just watch the city go by. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. No stress at all.
Took all the worry out of disembarkation morning — highly recommend. The fare was locked in at booking, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Ocean manor resort. The fare was set up front, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Ocean manor resort is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything matched what we were told.
