From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Myers Gulf Coast 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.
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Fort Myers Gulf Coast sits at 16975 Vintage Commerce Blvd, on the southwest side of Florida in Fort Myers, roughly 146.6 miles by road from the Port of Miami. After a long week aboard the ship, the appeal here is simple: a suite of your own on the Gulf Coast, reached in one clean run across the peninsula. When your ride pulls up to the door, you step straight from the vehicle into the hotel, with no last leg to sort out and no second fare to arrange.
Fort Myers has a character all its own. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates anchor much of the city’s story, and a revived riverfront gives the downtown River District its pull, with walkable blocks and dining set along the water. If you build a few extra days around the cruise, this is a simple base for exploring both the historic side of town and the Gulf that stretches out beyond it.
Baseball travelers land in good company too, since spring-training ballparks sit on the edges of the city, Hammond Stadium among them. The Caloosahatchee River runs close by, framing much of the downtown and the drives that thread around it. Whatever draws you to this corner of the coast, the hotel keeps you within reach of it, and the ride from the pier ends right at its entrance, so the time off can start the moment you reach rather than after one more transfer.
The journey runs door to door. Once you clear disembarkation at the cruise terminal, your chauffeur is already there, staged for your ship’s arrival rather than a fixed departure. Your bags go into the vehicle with full assistance at the curb, and from the pier it is one continuous run west along I-595, about 146.6 miles, out to Fort Myers. Terminal to hotel door commonly takes 143 to 155 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour you roll off the ship.
The vehicle is yours alone, so you set the pace, with one stop of up to 30 minutes along the way included. Gas, typical tolls, and luggage assist are already inside the flat fare, with nothing to settle on the road. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off and the I-595 traffic is built into the plan from the start. The car is waiting when you are, and the last stretch closes out at the hotel entrance.
