From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Shore Haven Resort Inn 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Shore Haven Resort Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a genuine beach village on the South Florida coast rather than a high-rise strip. It keeps the low-rise, small-inn feel of the town around it, so you step out of the car into a walkable, sea-facing pocket instead of a wall of towers. For the exact details on rooms, parking, and check-in, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm those specifics belong to the hotel, not to the ride.
The village setting is the real draw here. Anglin’s Fishing Pier is one of the local landmarks, and Datura Avenue runs through the heart of town with the everyday shops and cafes you would anticipate from a coastal community. El Prado Park is close by for a quieter stretch of green, and the shore-dive reef gives Lauderdale-by-the-Sea something few beaches can claim: a living coral reef you can snorkel straight off the sand, no boat required.
Because the town sits so close to the water, dropping your bags at Shore Haven Resort Inn and walking to the beach is the natural first move after a cruise. Guests who land here frequently work in Anglin’s Pier and a wander down Datura Avenue on the same afternoon, with the reef and El Prado Park within easy reach. It is the kind of place where the pace slows the moment you arrive, and where a beach hour before you have even unpacked feels entirely reasonable.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to your ship’s actual disembarkation rather than a fixed slot. There is an hour of free waiting built in, so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. The bags go straight from the terminal curb into the vehicle you booked, and the car is yours alone for the run north with no other groups and no detours.
From the port the route runs up I-95 in a single, direct leg to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. The drive covers roughly 34.8 miles door to terminal, and terminal curb to hotel door commonly takes 58 to 73 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Tolls and fuel are already in the flat price, so nothing is added on the day.
