From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Parkwood Inn 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.
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.
Parkwood Inn is a place to stay in Orlando, the end point of your run north from the cruise port. After days on the water, it is a quiet door to walk through — bags carried in, the driving already done, and the rest of the trip yours to shape. The property sits within the Orlando area, which puts a real city and its attractions inside easy reach once you have settled in.
Downtown Orlando gives the stay its anchor. Lake Eola Park, with its swans and its walking loop, sits close enough to make an easy afternoon out. On the arena side, the Kia Center hosts games and concerts through the year, so an evening out never means a long haul. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum adds a cultural stop for travelers who desire something beyond the theme parks.
What Parkwood Inn offers most is position. From here the wider Orlando region opens up — theme-park days, museum mornings, or merely a base to return to between outings. Arriving by private vehicle means you reach the door on your own schedule rather than a crowd’s, and the driver knows the route in, so the last stretch to the property is handled without guesswork. It is the calm end of a long travel day, set where the city’s parks, arenas, and downtown are all part of the same short-radius map.
The trip begins the moment you clear disembarkation. Your driver is waiting at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, takes the bags, and loads them into a vehicle held for your group alone. From the pier it is one run north along Florida’s Turnpike — about 232 miles — ending at the door of Parkwood Inn, with no shared stops and no detours you did not ask for.
Plan on roughly 236 to 245 minutes from terminal to door, light traffic to heavy. The Turnpike is the main variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, the climate is yours, and stops happen only when you desire them. It is a long drive made simple — one booking, one driver, door to door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
