From $240 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Royal Palm Estates door.
Each figure below buys the whole vehicle rather than a single seat, and it holds firm from the moment the booking is set — no jump for a crowded morning and no bump for a slow crawl in traffic.
The pickup happens right at the curb outside the cruise terminal. As the group steps off the ship and gathers its bags, the assigned driver is already in place, ready to lift the luggage and lead everyone to the vehicle. Meet-and-greet comes standard, so there is no rideshare lot to hunt through. Want a printed name sign waiting at the exit? Add one when reserving; that option runs $40. A courtesy wait is folded in, so a slow walk off the ship with a cart of suitcases never turns into a scramble.
Reserving takes a minute over WhatsApp or the website. Pass along the ship name, the disembarkation date, the passenger count, and the drop-off address in Royal Palm Estates, and a confirmation returns with the vehicle and the total. Because Palm Beach County stitches together dozens of small municipalities and repeats the same street names across them, include the ZIP code and the nearest cross street — that pair pins the exact door before the car ever rolls out of the port. One private booking carries the entire run: no transfer point, no second leg, no strangers sharing the seats.
Royal Palm Estates is a settled residential pocket of single-family homes on wide, tree-shaded streets near West Palm Beach — a calm suburban corner rather than a tourist strip. It suits travelers heading to a family house, a vacation rental, or a reunion with relatives once the sailing wraps, and it sits within easy reach of everyday shops, restaurants, parks, and the broader South Florida coast. To read up on the community or its housing character, the Royal Palm Estates community page gives an overview and the area home listings show the local streetscape. Drop-off lands at the precise address provided, so no final stretch has to be sorted out with luggage in hand.
The route is a straightforward northbound highway run from the cruise terminal up toward Royal Palm Estates. With clear roads it keeps a steady pace, no detours and no handoffs along the way. On a busy disembarkation morning — especially when several ships empty at once — the stretch leaving the port and pushing north can bunch up, so the same trip takes longer than a quiet midday departure. The driver tracks the ship’s actual clearance and builds the departure around it instead of a fixed clock that no longer fits. Since the fare is flat, a slower stretch in traffic never nudges the total.
Yes — a same-morning pickup is exactly what this route is built for. Book it at least twenty-four hours out to hold the car; a tighter request still gets a manual review, though a slot can’t be promised. Send the ship name and the date, and the pickup slots in right behind the terminal clearance.

The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was ours when we walked out. It was only us in the car — no side pickups — which was a relief after a week aboard.
