A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Casitas Coral Ridge runs about 32.7 miles in 55–71 minutes via I-95, at a flat rate from $175 per vehicle — a dedicated SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: your dedicated SUV meets you at the terminal and runs straight to Casitas Coral Ridge, no stops.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-95, so the roughly 32.7 miles to Casitas Coral Ridge is a single, direct leg.
Guests here often fit in Las Olas Boulevard and Port Everglades once they land ashore, with the Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park also nearby in Fort Lauderdale.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
Staying at Casitas Coral Ridge puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to Casitas Coral Ridge — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Whatever the group size, the vehicle is exclusively yours for the run from the port.
Canals thread Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas to the Intracoastal — the Venice of America — and the beachfront promenade runs for miles.

Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
The trip normally runs 55–71 minutes for the 32.7-mile route.
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.
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.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 55 to 71 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.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
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 Casitas Coral Ridge is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.

Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Casitas Coral Ridge with the pickup staged around your arrival.
