From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Ocean Resort Residences in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
The Ocean Resort Residences sits right on the sand in Fort Lauderdale, at 551 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. This is a beachfront address in the truest sense: step out the door and the Atlantic is in front of you, with the wide oceanfront promenade running for miles in either direction. After days aboard ship, it is a simple place to land, drop your bags, and let the pace slow down.
Fort Lauderdale earned the nickname the Venice of America for good reason. Canals thread the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal, and the shoreline stays close no matter which way you wander. From The Ocean Resort Residences you are set up to create the most of that: the beach itself is at your feet, and the peaceful rhythm of the waterfront becomes the backdrop of your stay.
There is ample within reach once you have settled in. Many guests spend their first hours on Fort Lauderdale Beach and along the Riverwalk, both simple to fold into a day. The Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are neighboring as well, offering a green, quieter counterpoint to the beachfront. For anything about the property itself, its own official page has the full picture; our job is simply the ride that gets you here from the ship, so you can start your time in Fort Lauderdale without hunting for a car at the terminal curb.
Once you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal, so there is no line to join and no app to open. You are met curbside at your own ship’s terminal, not sent off to a distant parking lot. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle with full assist at both ends of the journey, and from there it is a single run north to Fort Lauderdale along I-95.
Plan on roughly 49 to 66 minutes from the terminal to the door of The Ocean Resort Residences, depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the exits, but because your driver waits for you, the wait is theirs rather than yours. The vehicle is solely your group’s for the whole ride, with a bilingual chauffeur who knows the port, so you can settle in and let the drive take care of itself.

Pro driver. Fast confirmation. Nice ride.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver had the exits down cold. We went from the ship to the front desk of The Ocean Resort Residences with nothing to worry about in between.
I wasn’t going to fight for a ride the morning I disembarked, so I booked a private car from the port to The Ocean Resort Residences. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of The Ocean Resort Residences.
