From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
The Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel is a full-service property built for travelers moving between the water, the runway, and the road. As the name promises, it keeps you close to both the airport and the cruise port, which makes it a natural landing spot for anyone stepping off a ship in the morning with a flight or a second sailing still ahead. You reach, drop your bags, and the rest of Fort Lauderdale opens up from there.
What surprises numerous guests is how close the coast really is. The shoreline sits within easy reach, and plenty of cruisers trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark. Fort Lauderdale earned its Venice of America nickname honestly — canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, and a beachfront promenade runs for miles along the water. It is the kind of place where a short walk turns into an hour by the ocean.
The hotel works equally well as a first night or a last one. Check in early and the beach is yours before dinner; stay the night before an early departure and you are minutes from the terminals. For specifics on rooms, parking, and check-in times, the property’s own official page is the dependable source — those details change, and the front desk keeps them current. What stays constant is the location: near the sand, near the port, and near the airport, with the whole of Fort Lauderdale a short drive in any direction.
This is a private, door-to-door run from your ship’s terminal to the entrance of the Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel. Your driver meets you after disembarkation, loads your luggage, and takes you straight up I-95 with no detours and no other passengers along for the ride. The vehicle is yours alone, and your bags stay with you the whole way, carried to the curb at the hotel door when you reach.
Plan on roughly 43 to 58 minutes for the journey, depending on how the morning traffic moves — cruise-port Saturdays and Sundays are hectic, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. You settle into the vehicle once, and it does not change until you reach the hotel. That means no waiting in a taxi line with your luggage on the sidewalk, and no wondering whether a car will show. One driver, one vehicle, one calm ride north.

I was cruising solo and arranged a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me straight to Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel. The ride from the terminal to Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel was quiet and relaxed, and I could just watch the city go by. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt totally comfortable from the terminal all the way to the door of Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel. There was a board with our name on it at the exit, so we knew right where to go. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port Hotel before anyone lost it. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
