Best Ways to Get a Group to PortMiami
PortMiami sits on an island just off downtown Miami, reached by a single causeway that fills up on busy embarkation mornings. For a group, that makes the arrival plan more important than the distance. Here are the realistic ways to get a group to PortMiami and what each one means for luggage, timing and staying together.

The airport run is the most common one. It is short in distance and unpredictable in time, so build margin on a Saturday morning.
Groups flying in the same day should give themselves room between landing and boarding — bags, restrooms and the walk to pickup all take longer with ten people than with two.
Coming from a Miami or Miami Beach hotel
Staying the night before removes the flight risk. Book a scheduled pickup for the morning so the group loads once and leaves together.
If part of the group is at a second hotel, add it as a stop rather than running two separate trips.
Terminals matter
PortMiami has several cruise terminals. Your ship's terminal is printed on your cruise documents.
Enter that terminal as your destination when booking so the van pulls up where you actually check in.
Van versus several cars
Ordering three rideshare cars for a group of twelve means three arrivals, three trunks of luggage and a head count at the terminal.
A private passenger van is a single booking for the group. Everyone leaves together and arrives together, with the bags on board.
After the cruise
For the trip back, book PortMiami as the pickup and pick a time you are comfortable with — debarkation runs on the ship's schedule, not yours.
ROWZ operates 24/7 across Miami-Dade and Broward County, so early morning returns and late flights are both covered.
