How early should I arrive at the cruise port for boarding?

Plan to arrive during the check-in window printed on your boarding documents, which is usually a few hours before the ship departs. Always follow your cruise line's specific instructions, since arrival and check-in rules vary by ship and sailing. Building in extra time protects you against South Florida traffic and terminal lines.

Can a car service handle a large group and lots of luggage?

Yes. Sedans seat 1–3 passengers, SUVs seat 1–6, and vans seat 1–10, with luggage capacity scaling accordingly. When you book, share your passenger count and the number of checked bags so we assign a vehicle with enough room for everyone and their cruise luggage.

Can you pick me up from the airport and take me straight to the cruise port?

Absolutely. Fly-cruise transfers from PBI, FLL, or MIA directly to PortMiami or Port Everglades are among our most common requests. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you after landing, so a delayed arrival does not cost you your reservation.

Cruise day should start with excitement, not a parking-garage scramble. A private Boca Raton cruise port car service delivers you and your luggage to the terminal curb on a flat rate, with a professional chauffeur who knows both ports. Below is everything you need to plan the ride.

PortMiami: The Cruise Capital

PortMiami sits on Dodge Island in downtown Miami, roughly 50 miles south of Boca Raton via I-95 or the Turnpike. The drive usually takes 60–80 minutes, though rush hour and event traffic can stretch that. Because the port has multiple terminals spread across the island, a chauffeur who drops you at the correct terminal for your ship saves valuable time on embarkation day.

Port Everglades: Fort Lauderdale's Cruise Gateway

Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale is the closer of the two ports, about 22 miles from Boca Raton and just 30–45 minutes away in normal conditions. Its proximity makes it a favorite for South Florida cruisers, and the shorter distance is reflected in lower transfer fares. Like PortMiami, it has several cruise terminals, so knowing your exact terminal assignment ahead of time keeps drop-off smooth.

Pricing by Vehicle

The table below shows illustrative one-way fares from Boca Raton to each port. Capacities: Sedan 1–3, SUV 1–6, Van 1–10 passengers.

Route	Sedan (1–3)	SUV (1–6)	Van (1–10)	Distance / Time
Boca Raton → PortMiami	$140–$170	$180–$230	$220–$300	~50 mi / 60–80 min
Boca Raton → Port Everglades	$90–$130	$130–$180	$170–$240	~22 mi / 30–45 min

Fares are typical estimates; request a quote for a guaranteed flat rate. Round-trip returns from the port back to Boca Raton can usually be reserved at the same time.

How Early Should You Arrive for Boarding?

Plan to reach the terminal during the check-in window printed on your boarding documents, which is generally a few hours before the ship's scheduled departure. Cruise lines set their own arrival and check-in rules, so always follow the instructions for your specific sailing. Because South Florida traffic and terminal security lines are unpredictable, we recommend building in a comfortable buffer. Booking a private car helps here: your driver monitors conditions and plans the route so you arrive within your window without rushing.

Luggage & Group Considerations

Cruise luggage is bulky, and rideshare vehicles are not always sized for it. Matching the vehicle to your party keeps everyone and every bag comfortable:

Sedan (1–3 passengers): ideal for couples or solo travelers with standard checked bags.
SUV (1–6 passengers): more room for families and larger suitcases.
Van (1–10 passengers): best for multi-family groups, wedding parties, or anyone with heavy luggage loads.

When you reserve, tell us your passenger count and the number of checked bags so we assign a vehicle with enough room. A little detail up front prevents a tight squeeze on cruise morning.
