From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort sits on the ocean side of Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, part of the line of resort towers that runs along this stretch of coast. It faces the water directly, so the sand and the surf are right there the moment you step outside. This is the calmer, more spread-out half of the barrier island, built around resort row rather than the busier crowds farther down the shore.
The setting is simple to read once you are on the ground. The oceanfront boardwalk runs the full length of Mid-Beach, passing right by the property, and you can follow it on foot for a long stretch in either direction. Collins Avenue carries the address up through the district, with the Faena District close by and its galleries and arts scene filling the space between the towers. Indian Creek runs along the inland edge, so water frames the neighborhood on both sides.
When the car reaches the resort, the chauffeur pulls up to the entrance and moves your bags from curb to lobby. Anything about the stay itself, the check-in and what the resort offers, lives on Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort’s own official page; our part is the ride from the ship to its door. If you linger after the cruise, the boardwalk, Collins Avenue, and the Faena District are all within reach on foot, and the beach is merely across the sand from where you are standing.
From the cruise terminal to Westgate South Beach Oceanfront Resort is a single run of about 9.1 miles, roughly 23 to 25 minutes in normal conditions, out along the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195. Book before you dock and disembarkation turns simple: your vehicle is already staged for the terminal curb, the chauffeur is tracking your ship’s real arrival, and there are no stops between the pier and the resort door.
The driver meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the exit hall. Your bags ride in the same vehicle the whole way, and there is a 60-minute courtesy wait built in for port pickups, so a slow walk off the ship costs you nothing. Traffic on the causeway is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot cut to the minute.
