Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites: roughly 34.4 miles, 62–77 minutes by I-95, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a private SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-95, so the roughly 34.4 miles to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites is a single, direct leg.
With Fort Lauderdale right on the coast, a beach afternoon after the cruise is the natural next move — drop the bags at Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites and walk to the water.
Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the bags; coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit — with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a better experience, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Budget 62 to 77 minutes between Port of Miami and Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites, depending on the hour.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and I-95 does the rest.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Child safety seats are part of the service:
Fort Lauderdale layers a promenade beach, the yacht-lined New River, and Las Olas Boulevard’s galleries — with Port Everglades’ cruise piers at its southern edge.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 62 to 77 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans carry proportionally more. Message us about oversized items and we confirm the right vehicle.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.
Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and any comparison reflects publicly available pricing.
Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites with the pickup staged around your arrival.

Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
