From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to South Beach Delightful Suites 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
South Beach Delightful Suites sits right in South Beach, the neighborhood so many cruise travelers select for the night before they sail or the days just after they step off the ship. From your ship’s terminal it is a short causeway hop, close enough that South Beach Delightful Suites keeps you within easy reach of the water and the lively streets that give the area its name. For a night pre-cruise or a longer stay after, it lands you in the middle of things rather than out on the edge of them.
Step out the door and the character of South Beach is all around you. Ocean Drive and its Art Deco hotels are the classic backdrop for people-watching, while Lincoln Road turns shopping into a long open-air stroll. The Art Deco Historic District and the New World Center are nearby as well, so an afternoon can drift from pastel facades to a concert hall without ever asking for a long drive across the city.
The best part of staying here is how close the sand really is. Plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real ocean the same afternoon they disembark, walking to the shoreline with the causeway and the terminal already behind them. If your cruise leaves a gap of extra days, South Beach Delightful Suites makes an easy base — the water, the shops, and the Art Deco streets are all steps away, and the rest of Miami is a manageable ride whenever you want to see more of it.
Your ride begins the moment you clear the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is staged before you finish the walk through the luggage hall, so the waiting is theirs, not yours. You are met at the curb by your ship’s own terminal, your bags are loaded for you, and your group climbs into a vehicle kept for you alone — no parking lot to hunt for, no line to join, no second stop.
From the pier it is a single run to the door of South Beach Delightful Suites, out along MacArthur Causeway and onto SR A1A, the water-lined route into South Beach. Count on roughly 18 to 20 minutes from terminal to door in normal conditions, a little more on a busy disembarkation morning. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the driver handles it again at the end, setting you down at the entrance rather than somewhere down the block.
