From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westview Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Westview Resorts places you in Broward County’s planned western suburbs, the belt of Weston, Davie, and Pembroke Pines that spreads out toward the Everglades levee. It is a peaceful, residential side of South Florida, laid out with room to breathe and edged by open green space rather than crowded oceanfront blocks. If your cruise itinerary sends you inland to West Broward instead of back toward the coast, this is the pocket of the map you are heading for.
The setting keeps you close to a handful of the region’s larger draws. Sawgrass Mills sits within reach for shopping, and Hard Rock Stadium is neighboring for a game or an event tied to your dates. Flamingo Gardens and the Everglades levee are also close at hand, so the wilder edge of the region is a simple add if you decide to linger after the ship. It is the kind of base that works whether you are passing through for a night or staying on for several.
On arrival, your driver takes you straight to the entrance rather than dropping you at the mouth of a parking lot, and your bags come to the curb beside you. The drop-off covers the streets around your stay in West Broward, so the final turns land you at the door instead of a vague neighboring corner. After a long day of disembarkation and highway miles, walking directly into the lobby with your luggage handled is the part that makes the trip feel finished.
Your chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall, and waits curbside with your group rather than in a distant lot. Every booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time. Once your bags are loaded into the vehicle reserved for your party alone, you head out together with nothing added on the day.
From the port the route runs along Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 out to West Broward, a trip that normally takes 52 to 68 minutes depending on traffic. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with a little room to spare, you are not chasing a slot cut to the minute. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat rate, and the driver carries the bags from the vehicle to the curb at Westview Resorts.
