From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Bamboo Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
The Bamboo Resort is a beachfront stay built for travelers who want the ocean close and the day unhurried. After a week at sea, the appeal is simple: a room to settle into, a short walk to the water, and the freedom to keep the vacation going the moment you step off the ship. This is a place where the shoreline sits within reach rather than across town, so the sand feels like part of the property instead of a separate outing.
What guests notice first is how quickly the resort trades cruise routine for beach time. Many people who disembark in the morning are on real sand the same afternoon, swapping the ship’s pool deck for open water and an open horizon. You arrive with your bags, drop them, and the coast is already there — no long transfer to a distant beach, no second leg to plan. For a group coming straight off a sailing, that closeness to the water is the whole point of choosing a resort like this one.
Arrival is meant to be simple. Your ride pulls up to the entrance, your luggage comes to the door beside you, and the resort takes it from there. Whether you are checking in for a few nights or using The Bamboo Resort as a landing spot after the cruise, the handoff stays quiet and direct: off the ship, into the vehicle, and out at the door with the beach waiting. It is the kind of ending that lets the trip keep its momentum instead of stalling in transit.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival, so when you walk off with your bags there is a vehicle already waiting for your group alone — no line to join, no strangers in the seats beside you. Luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you pull away from the port together on a single, direct run to the resort.
From there it is a straight door-to-door trip: cruise terminal to the entrance of The Bamboo Resort, with your driver handling the route and the traffic so you don’t have to. Bags come out at the door beside you, and the handoff to the resort is immediate. Book the reverse leg for embarkation day and the pickup is planned the same way — timed to your schedule, luggage carried, one vehicle reserved for your group.

Bajamos del barco tras una semana buenísima y un auto privado directo a The Bamboo Resort fue justo lo indicado. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Our crew booked one van straight from the terminal to The Bamboo Resort, and nobody had to think about a thing. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way. For a reliable way to get from the ship to The Bamboo Resort, it was money well spent.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to The Bamboo Resort was worth every bit. The van was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
My partner and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to The Bamboo Resort. We were dropped right at the front door of The Bamboo Resort, not across the street.
Our whole crew walked off together and it was so easy to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to The Bamboo Resort — nobody splitting up. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
