From $615 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Regal Palm Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Regal Palm Resort sits in the Davenport and Clermont region of Central Florida, a region that has quietly become Orlando’s vacation-home belt. This is the country southwest of Disney, where gated communities of pool homes and golf fairways spread across land that once grew citrus. It is a corner of Florida built for groups who desire a base of their own rather than a room on a strip — room to spread out after long park days, with the region’s parks and attractions within easy reach.
The setting shifts as you move through it. Davenport and neighboring ChampionsGate anchor the resort-and-golf side, a low, open landscape of fairways and pool-home communities. To the north, Clermont rises into lake hills — an unusual bit of elevation for Florida, with a chain of lakes threaded between them. Together they create a quieter, greener alternative to staying right beside the parks, close enough for early mornings at the gates yet far enough to feel like a retreat at night.
Arriving after a cruise and a long drive up from the coast, the last thing you desire is to hunt for an entrance. Your chauffeur brings you to the main entrance of Regal Palm Resort and helps with every bag from the vehicle to the door, so the handoff from the road to your room is a short one. Whatever the size of your party, the vehicle is yours alone for the whole run, and the arrival is planned around your ship rather than anyone else’s schedule.
The ride runs terminal to door as one private trip. Pickup is at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you walk off, and an included wait window absorbs a slow gangway so the wait is the driver’s, not yours. From the pier it is a single run along Florida’s Turnpike — about 242 miles — ending at the entrance of Regal Palm Resort, with your luggage stowed in the vehicle the whole way.
Plan on roughly 254 to 263 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings back up quickly at the terminal exits, so your driver is staged before you clear the hall. Fuel and typical tolls are already inside the fare, and the vehicle stays yours alone from the port to the door.

Every policy in full: FAQ
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Regal Palm Resort with no drama. The kids crashed in the car, and getting straight to Regal Palm Resort without a scramble at the port was a relief.
My wife and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Regal Palm Resort before we even sailed. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
Me quitó toda la preocupación de la mañana del desembarque — justo lo que necesitábamos. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
A group of us came off the ship together and booked one private van from the port to Regal Palm Resort. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van waiting at the terminal Regal Palm Resort was worth every bit. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
