From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residences at The Symphony in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Residences at The Symphony is a private address in Fort Lauderdale, and it is where this ride ends. From the cruise piers on Dodge Island the route runs one clean stretch up I-95, about 28 miles, so the car leaves the terminal and pulls up at the door of Residences at The Symphony with nothing in between. For travelers stepping off a ship with luggage in tow, having a set drop-off waiting at the other end takes the guesswork out of the morning.
The setting is simple to warm to once you are ashore. Guests staying here frequently create time for Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Riverwalk soon after they land, and two calmer draws sit close by as well: the Bonnet House, with its gardens and grounds, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, a green stretch tucked into the city. All of it falls within Fort Lauderdale, so you are settled near the parts of town most people come to see.
Fort Lauderdale layers a walkable promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and the galleries along Las Olas Boulevard, with the cruise piers of Port Everglades marking its southern edge. That mix puts sand, water, and browsing within reach of a single base. Every ride here is booked for your party alone and runs direct between the terminal and Residences at The Symphony, so the vehicle is yours from pickup to drop-off and the journey stays on your schedule rather than someone else’s.
The chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in so an early or late walk-off is covered. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from the curb it is one run along I-95 to Residences at The Symphony, no stops and no extra pickups. Plan on roughly 28 miles and about 45 to 62 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic on the day you sail.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the I-95 traffic is already figured into the plan. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the car is staged for the terminal curb, with the driver coordinating by message as you exit. Assist with every bag comes typical, lobby cart to curb.
