From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Miami Northwest 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.
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.
Residence Inn Miami Northwest sits in Doral, at 10234 Northwest 19th Street, Doral 33172. Doral is one of Miami’s business districts, a tidy grid of corporate offices, dining, and golf that draws two very distinct crowds for the same reasons: it is simple to reach, simple to park in, and close to everything a working journey or a golf weekend needs. Pulling up here after a cruise, you trade the noise of the port for a calmer, well-organized corner of the city.
The address puts you in the middle of Doral’s rhythm. CityPlace Doral, with its restaurants and shops, is close by, and the renowned Trump National Doral golf resort shares the same part of town. Downtown Doral rounds out the neighborhood, and the Palmetto Expressway runs nearby, which is part of why the region is a favorite for golfers and business travelers alike. Corporate Miami and resort golf sit side by side on these streets, so a client dinner and a tee time can live in the same afternoon.
What you locate on arrival is a practical base rather than a scene. Doral is built for people who have somewhere to be, which makes it a steady place to settle in for a few days after a sailing. The stay itself is handled by the hotel; the ride from the ship to its front door is our part. Once your driver drops you at the main entrance, the rest of Doral, from CityPlace to the golf resort, is a short move away and the day is yours to shape.
The journey runs about 13.9 miles from the terminal to Residence Inn Miami Northwest, and it holds to a single, direct line the whole way. Your chauffeur is staged before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait is theirs and not yours. Once your group reaches the curb, the driver loads the luggage, everyone climbs in, and the vehicle pulls out with no stops between the port and the hotel. Bags stay in the vehicle from the terminal to the door, so there is no dragging them across the port and no juggling on arrival.
From there the route follows SR-836 across the city, which commonly puts the door-to-door time around 28 to 40 minutes depending on how heavy the disembarkation-morning traffic runs. It is one clean leg from Dodge Island to Doral. At the hotel your driver brings the vehicle to the main entrance and helps with the bags again, so the last steps of the journey are as simple as the first.
