From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sharkey’s Lodge Weekly Only 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.
Sharkey’s Lodge Weekly Only sits in the twin communities of Hallandale and Dania Beach, the stretch of coastline just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport. It is set up for travelers who desire to settle in for a full week rather than a single night, with the shoreline only steps from the door. Plenty of guests trade the ship’s crowded pool deck for real sand the same afternoon they come ashore, which tells you most of what you need to know about where this lodge stands.
The surrounding region mixes a few distinct moods. There are casinos and the energy that comes with them, quiet state-park beaches for anyone who wants to slow down, and the Design Center of the Americas — DCOTA — a short reach away for the design-minded. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe add shopping, dining and open-air strolling once your bags are dropped, and the Dania Beach Fishing Pier is close by when you feel like watching the water instead of swimming in it.
Because so much here clusters along the coast, the lodge works as a simple base. You can walk to the beach, drive a few minutes to a meal or a show, and still be near the highway when it is time to move on. After a week of cruise-ship schedules, the appeal is a spot where the ocean is right there and the rest of Hallandale and Dania Beach is a short hop in any direction.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that begins the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you walk off the ship, meets you at the curb, and loads the luggage into the vehicle so nothing rides on the sidewalk. From there it is a single direct leg north on I-95 — about 23 miles to Sharkey’s Lodge Weekly Only — normally covered in 41 to 57 minutes depending on how the highway is moving.
The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, with a 60-minute wait window built in to absorb slow gangways and customs lines. Self-assist walkers frequently reach the curb within the first hour, and checked-luggage groups a little after that; either way the driver stays in touch and the vehicle is held for your group alone. One flat fare, locked at booking, carries the whole ride.
