From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Palm Aire Resort And Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Palm Aire Resort And Spa sits along the coast in the Pompano and Deerfield Beach region, north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and roughly 37 road miles from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami. It is a resort with the shoreline only steps away, which is exactly why so many cruisers pick it for the nights that bracket a sailing. You step off the ship, ride north, and the sand is close enough that plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for the real thing the same afternoon they come ashore.
Once you have settled in, the surrounding coast rewards a short outing. The Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier both sit within reach for an easy walk out over the water, and the Pompano Beach Amphitheater draws people in for open-air evenings. If you would rather stretch out on grass than sand, Quiet Waters Park is neighboring as well. It is the kind of stretch where you can fill an afternoon without straying far from the resort.
This is a low-key part of the coast, and that is much of its appeal. Pompano keeps its old fishing-village feel, while Deerfield’s Blue Wave beach stays peaceful and clean rather than crowded and loud. After the pace of a cruise, arriving somewhere this unhurried tends to land well, and the resort’s setting puts the beach, the piers, and a quiet park all within a short reach of the front door.
Your ride is door to door and yours alone. Once you clear the terminal, your chauffeur meets you curbside, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and drives your group straight to the resort. From the Port of Miami the route runs about 37 miles north by Florida’s Turnpike, usually 51 to 67 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. There is no shuttle line and no dragging bags across the port; you clear customs, walk out, and step into a vehicle staged for your ship’s arrival.
Because cruise mornings can obtain hectic, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess, and every terminal pickup carries 60 minutes of free waiting so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. The bags are carried to the curb beside you at the resort, and the flat fare you booked already covers the gas and typical tolls for the journey.

My husband and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Palm Aire Resort And Spa before we even sailed. There was a name sign at the curb, so we didn’t have to look around. The car was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
