From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Resort Grace in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Resort Grace sits in Brickell, the cluster of banking towers and rooftop restaurants that rises just south of the Miami River. It is a neighborhood built for people who want the city at their feet: high-rise living, walkable blocks, and a river-and-avenue setting only a couple of bridges from the cruise terminals. When you step off the ship, this is where the ride is headed, a short run into one of the most walkable corners of the city.
Once you check in and drop your bags, the surrounding streets do the work. Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village are the twin anchors here, one a layered shopping and dining complex and the other a compact stretch of restaurants and bars. The Miami River and Brickell Avenue frame the district, so a stroll in almost any direction lands you somewhere worth stopping. Guests coming off the ships tend to fold these into their first hours ashore without needing a plan.
At the property itself, the arrival is simple. Look for your driver at the main entrance when it is time to head back toward the port, and expect the same easy handoff on the way in. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there is no waiting on strangers and no rerouting to other stops. Whether you are two travelers or a full party with a stack of cruise luggage, the car meeting you is yours from the curb, giving Brickell its natural role as your base between the terminal and the rest of the trip.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation turns into the easy part. As you walk off the ship, the pickup is coordinated by message so the driver is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, not a guessed clock time. There is no shared vehicle and no hunting through a crowded curb: your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, takes the bags at the pier, and loads them into the vehicle for you.
From there it is a single, direct leg to Resort Grace, with fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help already inside the fare. A 60-minute wait window is built into port pickups, so a slow gangway or a long line at the terminal does not cost you the ride within that time. Your driver is bilingual in English and Spanish and knows the terminals, and the vehicle stays reserved for your party alone from pickup to drop-off at the entrance.

Para un desembarque tranquilo, mi pareja y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos recibiera en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Resort Grace. Llegar a Resort Grace sin vueltas significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
Viajaba solo y reservé un auto privado para que me esperara en el puerto al bajar del barco y llevarme hasta Resort Grace. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, me sentí muy a gusto desde la terminal hasta la puerta de Resort Grace.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the port to Resort Grace for the morning I got off, and it took all the guesswork out of it. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress. I knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
La forma tranquila de ir del barco a Resort Grace. Lo reservaría de nuevo sin dudar.
After our sailing, my partner and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Resort Grace. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Resort Grace, it was money well spent. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Resort Grace with nothing left to sort out. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
