Ride private to or from Port of Miami and The Bamboo Resort: roughly 32.7 miles, 55–71 minutes by I-95, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $160 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
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.
Your driver follows I-95 for the 32.7-mile hop and drops the group at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you.
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 The Bamboo Resort puts the shoreline steps away — plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Budget 55 to 71 minutes between Port of Miami and The Bamboo Resort, depending on the hour.
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 I-95 traffic already priced into the plan.
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.
Ships rarely clear all passengers at one exact minute, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival with the included 30-minute wait absorbing customs and the luggage hall — you walk out, the vehicle is there, and The Bamboo Resort is next.
Canals thread Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas to the Intracoastal — the Venice of America — and the beachfront promenade runs for miles.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
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.
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.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
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 The Bamboo Resort 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 The Bamboo Resort with the pickup staged around your arrival.

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.

This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show.
