Ride private to or from Port of Miami and South Seas Oceanfront Hotel: roughly 6.7 miles, 21–23 minutes by MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $80 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.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a reserved black SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A — about 6.7 miles — ending at the door of South Seas Oceanfront Hotel.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
Hotel pickups happen at the lobby door at the agreed hour. Terminal pickups are timed to disembarkation, with half an hour of free waiting so customs lines never cost you the ride.
If your itinerary includes MIA or FLL, ask for the airport leg when you message us: same vehicles, same flat pricing, one coordinated plan for the day.
Staying at South Seas Oceanfront Hotel puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
Three private sizes cover this route; all of them go straight from your ship to South Seas Oceanfront Hotel.
South Beach is where many cruisers stay the night before sailing: Art Deco hotels, Ocean Drive people-watching, and Lincoln Road shopping, all a short causeway hop from the ship.

Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
The trip normally runs 21–23 minutes for the 6.7-mile route.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A traffic already priced into the plan.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a superior service from the first message to the terminal curb.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 21 to 23 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.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
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.
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 South Seas Oceanfront Hotel with the pickup staged around your arrival.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
