From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ramada by Wyndham Hotel & Water Park 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Ramada by Wyndham Hotel & Water Park is a family hotel with its own on-site water park, set in Kissimmee along the Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. The entrance sits at 2261 E Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, on the stretch south of the Disney area where resorts and pool-home communities line the road. It is built for groups coming off a cruise who want a place to spread out, cool off, and settle in before the rest of the trip begins.
The location puts you on one of Kissimmee’s main arteries, so the area around the hotel is easy to read. Kissimmee lines Irlo Bronson Highway with lodging of every size, and Lake Tohopekaliga, known locally as Lake Toho, is close by with airboats working its water. It is a practical corner of Central Florida, close to the theme-park world without sitting in the middle of it, which suits travelers who want a calmer base after a week at sea.
Once you land ashore, there is ample within reach. Guests staying here often work in Old Town Kissimmee and a look at Lake Tohopekaliga, with Gatorland and the Kissimmee Lakefront also nearby. It makes for an easy few days of Central Florida, with the water park a short walk from your room when you would rather stay put. Your driver drops the group right at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you, so the first thing you do at Ramada by Wyndham Hotel & Water Park is check in, not sort out logistics.
Coming off the ship, your chauffeur meets the group once you clear the terminal exit, loads the luggage, and drives you straight to the hotel door. There are no shared stops and no strangers in the vehicle; the car is yours from the port curb to Ramada by Wyndham Hotel & Water Park. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike north into Kissimmee, and you can budget about 211 to 222 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on the hour and the traffic.
Because ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is staged and waiting, and the bags go straight into the car. Gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat rate, so the drive to Ramada by Wyndham Hotel & Water Park is settled before you leave the curb.
