From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Near Universal Orlando in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Residence Inn Near Universal Orlando sits at 5614 Main Boulevard in Orlando, a short step off International Drive and within easy reach of the city’s busiest cluster of attractions. This is an all-suite property built for travelers who desire room to spread out after a long day, and it lands you in a neighborhood where the theme parks, the wheel, and the convention crowd all share one long, hotel-lined corridor.
The address puts Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park close at hand, with the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando also nearby along International Drive. That strip threads Universal, SeaWorld, the large observation wheel, and the convention center together, so much of what brings people to Orlando is a manageable distance from where you are staying. It is a practical base whether your days are built around rides, meetings, or a bit of both.
Arriving here after a cruise is meant to feel uncomplicated. Your driver brings you straight to the door on Main Boulevard, so there is no wrestling with directions or hunting for the entrance at the end of a long journey day. Anything about the stay itself — the suites, the layout, the on-site details — belongs to the hotel; getting you and your luggage to its front door is the part we handle. Once you are dropped off, the whole International Drive corridor opens up around you.
The journey begins the moment your group clears the cruise terminal on disembarkation morning. Your chauffeur is already staged and waiting, organized by message as you exit the hall, so the standing around is theirs and not yours. Bags go from the curb into the vehicle with a hand from the driver, and then it is one direct run north — no shared stops, no detours, no other parties to collect along the way.
From the pier the route heads up along Florida’s Turnpike and stays there, ending at the entrance of Residence Inn Near Universal Orlando on Main Boulevard. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the vehicle is reserved for your party alone. After the pace of arrival day, the plan is simple: clear the terminal, load up, and settle in for one straightforward ride that ends at the hotel door.

Éramos una familia de cinco y los chicos se quedaron dormidos atrás.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Residence Inn Near Universal Orlando could not have been smoother. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The night before, I got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. No stress at all.
