From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Portofino Bay Resort At Universal 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Portofino Bay Resort At Universal is an on-site hotel within the Universal Orlando Resort, set in Orlando near the hectic run of attractions along International Drive. This is the address your driver aims for once you leave the cruise terminal, and it is where you step out at the end of the journey. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the place to ask, since those change and belong to the hotel rather than to the ride.
The location puts you in simple reach of the things Orlando visitors come for. Universal Orlando Resort is right at hand, and ICON Park sits close by along the same tourist corridor. The Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando are also neighboring on International Drive, so whether your days lean toward theme parks, a show floor, or a mix of both, the resort keeps them all within short reach.
International Drive is Orlando’s main tourist artery, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center stacked end to end. Staying here means arrival day can be simple: your group rolls up to the entrance, the driver carries the bags to the curb beside you, and you walk in without a long haul across a lot or a wait in any line. From there you set your own pace, close to the parks and the shopping without needing to plan around a distant pickup point.
This is a door-to-door private run from the Port of Miami cruise terminal straight to Portofino Bay Resort At Universal. Once your group clears the hall, the driver meets you at the curb of your ship’s own terminal, loads the luggage, and pulls away with no extra stops added along the way. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole time, and the seats belong to your party alone.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 230.8-mile journey, and you can plan on about 230 to 241 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic. Because the pickup is tied to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the pace of getting off the boat never costs you the ride. When the driver reaches the resort, the group is dropped at the entrance with the bags carried to the curb.
