From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Dolphin Hollywood Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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 Dolphin Hollywood Hotel sits in Hollywood, the beach town that fills the stretch of coast halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It is a spot with its own easygoing rhythm, close to the water and to the low-key attractions that offer this part of South Florida its character. Arriving here after a week at sea, you land somewhere calmer than the city rush, with the ocean and the town’s main draws within reach of your stay.
The neighborhood around the hotel gives you plenty to fill the days. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the sand and is one of the easiest things to reach on foot or by a short ride, a flat oceanfront promenade made for slow walks and open-air meals. ArtsPark at Young Circle sits neighboring as well, a green gathering place in the middle of town with room to wander. For an evening out, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is close at hand in Hollywood, and West Lake Park adds open water and quiet nature to the mix.
Between the Broadwalk, ArtsPark, the casino, and the parks, The Dolphin Hollywood Hotel keeps you inside a compact, walkable pocket of Hollywood rather than out on the far edge of the metro. That location is what makes it a relaxing landing point straight off the ship: close to the beach, close to the town’s top-known stops, and set in a part of the coast that trades the pace of downtown for something more relaxed. Your ride drops you right at the streets around the stay, so the first thing you do is settle in.
The journey is one direct leg from the cruise terminal to your door. Once you clear the disembarkation hall, your chauffeur is already staged curbside at your own terminal, not waiting in a distant parking lot. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is a single run north to Hollywood with no shared stops and no strangers along for the ride. The car is reserved for your group alone.
Plan on roughly 45 to 60 minutes from the terminal to the streets around The Dolphin Hollywood Hotel, depending on traffic and the time of day. Disembarkation mornings pile up speedy at the terminal exits, so your driver is in place before you finish walking off the ship, which means the wait is theirs and not yours. Gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day.
