From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Miami South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey 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.
Residence Inn Miami South Beach stands in Sunny Isles Beach, the slim coastal strip at the county’s northern edge where resort towers line up one after another along Collins Avenue. The Atlantic runs right beside the road, so the hotel sits within reach of a broad public beach and the Newport Fishing Pier that reaches out over the water. It is a residential-style stay, which means room to spread out after days aboard ship, and the practical extras a returning cruise party tends to desire.
On arrival you locate the things that matter most after a sailing: assist with amenities, a luggage hold for the gap between docking and check-in, and early check-in handled through the hotel’s own front desk. Those details live on the Residence Inn official site rather than here, so you can confirm what applies to your dates. What the location adds is simple footing on the coast — drop the bags, change, and the sand is a short walk rather than another drive.
The setting rewards anyone who wants the ocean close and the pace slow. Collins Avenue and the Newport Fishing Pier are the natural first stops once you are ashore, and Samson Oceanfront Park and Pelican Community Park sit neighboring in Sunny Isles Beach for a quieter stretch of green and shoreline. If a beach afternoon after the cruise is the plan, this address makes it simple: the water is essentially at the door, and the rest of Miami stays a simple ride away when you desire it.
The ride is one direct leg from your cruise terminal to Residence Inn Miami South Beach — no pooling, no detours. Your chauffeur is staged at the curb before your group even clears the disembarkation hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Bags are loaded at the terminal curbside, the car pulls out, and it runs straight to the hotel entrance in Sunny Isles Beach.
Coming off the ship, the vehicle is set for the terminal curb the moment your party exits, with sixty minutes of courtesy wait built in for the disembarkation crush. Leaving for a sailing, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the luggage there. The journey normally runs about 41 to 55 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic, with tolls and fuel already inside the flat rate.

trayecto silencioso. vehículo impecable. buen conductor.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Residence Inn Miami South Beach was worth every bit. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Residence Inn Miami South Beach was the easy way. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Residence Inn Miami South Beach. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
