From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Universal Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Universal Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel sits within the Universal Orlando Resort region, along the hectic International Drive corridor that runs through Orlando. This is a resort hotel built for guests who want to be close to the parks, so the setting is exactly what most travelers picture when they book a stay near the theme-park district. Your driver drops you at the hotel entrance, and the streets around your stay feed straight into the wider Universal region, which keeps the arrival simple after a long drive north from the coast.
The location puts you in easy reach of Universal Orlando Resort itself, along with ICON Park and its wheel a short way down International Drive. The Orange County Convention Center is nearby, which matters if your journey mixes a cruise with a work event, and the Orlando International Premium Outlets sit within the same stretch for anyone planning a shopping afternoon. International Drive lines up Universal, SeaWorld, ICON Park, and the convention center along one long, hotel-heavy boulevard, so much of what draws people to Orlando is within the same district as your room.
Because the hotel anchors this part of Orlando, you land in the middle of the action rather than on the edge of it. Once you are checked in, the amenities, luggage holds, and early-check-in details are handled by the hotel directly on its own page. Our part ends where yours begins: a private car to the front door, bags carried in beside you, and the rest of the resort spread out around you for the days ahead.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Universal Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel, run as one direct journey with no shared stops. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, loads every bag into the vehicle, and heads north for the roughly 231.2-mile route along Florida’s Turnpike. The car is yours alone from the curb to the hotel entrance, so the group stays together the whole way.
The drive normally runs 228 to 238 minutes, with traffic on the Turnpike as the main variable, which is why pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival instead of a fixed slot. Coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in. When you reach Universal Lowes Royal Pacific Hotel, the driver pulls up to the entrance and your bags come out beside you.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
