From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheridan Ocean Club Fort Lauderdale 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.
Sheridan Ocean Club sits in the stretch of Hallandale and Dania Beach, the pair of communities just south of Fort Lauderdale’s airport. It is a quiet residential address a short reach from the coast, so the journey up from the ship ends at a peaceful, settled corner of South Florida rather than a busy downtown. Your driver runs straight to the door and sets the bags at the curb beside you.
The area around Sheridan Ocean Club mixes a few different moods. There are casinos and the design center known as DCOTA, the Design Center of the Americas, alongside quiet state-park beaches that stay easy even in season. Once you have dropped your bags, the neighborhood gives you room to unwind close by, and the water is never far when you desire a slow morning by the sand.
Guests staying here frequently fill their first day ashore without going far. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe are the usual picks for shopping, dining, and a bit of energy after the cruise, while the Dania Beach Fishing Pier gives you an easy walk over the water. The DCOTA design center rounds out the neighboring options for anyone who likes to browse. It all keeps Sheridan Ocean Club well placed: private and low-key where you sleep, with plenty within reach the moment you feel like moving. Tell us the exact address at booking and the ride is planned end to end, one group in the vehicle and no shared stops along the way.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns into the easy part of the day. Your driver is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island ahead of your group, organized by message as you clear the exit hall, so the wait belongs to the chauffeur and not to you. The car is reserved for your party alone, bags loaded at the curb and carried again at the other end, with no other pickups folded into the run.
