From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between the Port of Miami and Residences at Bayside – by Elite City Stays.
Every figure below is the flat, one-way price for the whole vehicle to any entrance at Residences at Bayside – by Elite City Stays, whether the journey runs from your cruise terminal to the door or from the door back to your ship. The amount you reserve is the amount you pay, and it does not climb when several ships unload on the same morning.
Dodge Island clears in waves, and the curb outside each terminal grows crowded the moment customs opens the doors. Your driver is already in position before your group reaches the exit, so any standing around belongs to the driver rather than to you. Pass along the cruise line and terminal number at booking, and the pickup is set at the correct building instead of a far-off parking deck.
Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting sits inside every Port of Miami reservation, which covers the slow shuffle through the luggage hall and the passport queue. You wheel your bags out, the vehicle is right there, and the short leg to Residences at Bayside – by Elite City Stays gets under way.
Residences at Bayside – by Elite City Stays stands among the towers that face the cruise basin from the mainland side of the water. The Kaseya Center, Bayside Marketplace, and Museum Park occupy the blocks running from Biscayne Boulevard toward the bay, which puts the address only minutes from the pier rather than across town. Details about the stay itself — the rooms, the check-in desk, the amenities — belong to the property; the piece handled here is the drive to and from PortMiami.
The whole distance is close to a single mile, and Port Boulevard carries almost all of it in one straight line off Dodge Island. In ordinary traffic the ride lasts about eight to ten minutes from the terminal curb to the residence entrance. The driver loads the luggage at the ship, turns onto the boulevard, and pulls up at Residences at Bayside – by Elite City Stays with no detours and no second pickup — each booking is one group heading one direction.
The single number already accounts for the driver, the fuel, and the typical tolls, along with a meet-and-greet at the terminal that costs nothing extra. A few optional items sit beside it:
At the curb outside your own cruise terminal on Dodge Island, not in a distant garage. Name the cruise line when you book so the pickup is staged at the matching terminal. A swift message as you step off keeps everyone lined up at the same spot.
As soon as your party clears the terminal building. Passengers carrying their own bags frequently reach the curb within the first hour, while groups waiting on checked luggage take a bit longer. Because every Port of Miami booking carries thirty free minutes of waiting, a slow customs hall never eats into your ride.
