From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sabal Park Inn 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Sabal Park Inn sits in Fort Myers, on the southwest side of Florida, a long stretch of state away from the cruise terminals on the Atlantic coast. It makes a natural landing spot for travelers who desire to add a few quiet days to a sailing, trading the packed decks for a slower corner of the Gulf side. You reach at the entrance with your bags carried to the curb beside you, and the property itself becomes the base for whatever comes next.
The setting is what gives the stay its character. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates, the historic riverside homes and gardens that put Fort Myers on the map, are close by, and the Caloosahatchee River runs through the same part of town. Baseball fans land in good company here too: JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium, the spring-training ballparks that draw crowds each year, sit on the edges of the city and are both within easy reach of the inn.
Fort Myers has spent recent years reviving its riverfront downtown, and that mix — the Edison and Ford estates on one side, ballparks on the fringes, a walkable stretch along the water — is the shape of the place you settle into at Sabal Park Inn. It is the kind of destination where a post-cruise stay is less about ticking boxes and more about picking a pace, whether that means the gardens, a game, or an afternoon by the river.
This is a door-to-door private run from the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami straight to the entrance of Sabal Park Inn. Your driver is staged and waiting before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the crush at the terminal exits on a cruise morning is the driver’s problem to wait through, not yours. Bags go into the vehicle with full luggage assist at the curb, your group climbs in, and you set off together as one party in one vehicle.
From there the route follows I-595 across the state toward the Gulf side and Fort Myers. Plan on roughly 159 to 171 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on the hour and how heavy the traffic runs. The whole leg is yours: you pick the departure that lines up with your ship, and there are no added stops or strangers along the way — just a straight ride to the door with everything already handled.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
