From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels sits in Hollywood, the coastal town that falls about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps a relaxed, small-shore feeling rather than a large-city one, which is part of why cruise travelers pick it for the stretch of time on either side of their sailing. The property puts the shoreline within a few steps, so the ocean is a genuinely short walk from the room rather than a drive away.
That closeness changes how the first day plays out. Plenty of guests come straight off the ship, drop their bags, and are standing on real sand the same afternoon, trading the pool deck for open water without much of a pause. The address works for a single overnight before embarkation just as well as for a longer stay, because the water and the room are effectively the same stop.
Step past the hotel and Hollywood gives you a compact set of things to do on foot or a short hop away. The Broadwalk runs along the beach for strolling, cycling, and a slow dinner with the water in view. ArtsPark anchors the downtown side with green space and events, and the Seminole Hard Rock casino sits neighboring for an evening out. It is enough to fill the hours around a cruise without ever feeling like you have to reach for the car, and it stays easygoing even on a hectic weekend.
This is a door-to-door run from the Port of Miami to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels, one straight leg up I-95 covering about 22.9 miles. Terminal curb to hotel door commonly lands between 44 and 60 minutes, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your driver is already staged at your ship’s own terminal when you walk off, so there is no line to join and no car to track down after disembarkation.
Every bag rides in your vehicle with you, loaded at the pier and carried again at the hotel, and the car is reserved for your group alone. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers coming off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the expected I-95 traffic is already built into the plan.

Los chicos venían cansados, así que se portó como un caballero. incluso con tráfico la ruta tuvo sentido. Ahorramos 15 minutos vs la fila de Uber
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels before anyone lost it. The ride from the terminal to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels was smooth and steady, and we could just unwind after the cruise. We went from the ship to the front desk of Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels with zero hassle along the way.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos por la pasarela en PortMiami y había un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir.
No taxi line — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was right there, then straight to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. Highly recommend. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
