From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Southern Charm Canine Resort 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Southern Charm Canine Resort is a dog boarding property in Kissimmee, the resort belt that runs south of the Disney region along Florida’s Turnpike corridor. Kissimmee is built for visitors, its streets lined with vacation resorts and pool-home communities, so a canine resort here sits comfortably among the kind of places families select when they want room to spread out rather than a crowded downtown.
The property is reached by way of US-192, the Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, which is the main artery threading through this part of Kissimmee. That road ties the local resorts, attractions, and neighborhoods together, and it is the route most arrivals recognize once they are close. Because Kissimmee spreads across a broad, low landscape, addresses out here tend to feel more like a destination in their own right than a stop in a dense grid, and drop-off covers the streets right around where you are staying.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Old Town Kissimmee sits neighboring, and Lake Tohopekaliga, known locally as Lake Toho, draws people out for airboat rides across its open water. Gatorland is close as well.
This is a single door-to-door leg from the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami to Southern Charm Canine Resort. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal, timed to your ship’s actual disembarkation, and meets your group curbside rather than in a parking lot. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and once everyone is loaded the driver heads out on Florida’s Turnpike, so the roughly 216.1 miles run as one direct route with no transfers along the way.
Plan on somewhere around 218 to 228 minutes from terminal to door, depending on how traffic is moving that day. The luggage stays with you in the vehicle the whole time, and the fare already covers gas, standard tolls, and help with the bags at both ends. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.

My wife and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Southern Charm Canine Resort. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we knew right where to go. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard.
Private, punctual, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Southern Charm Canine Resort.
Cruising with the family, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van waiting at the terminal Southern Charm Canine Resort was perfect. We went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que reservé un auto privado del puerto a Southern Charm Canine Resort.
