Private chauffeur service to and from every Port Everglades cruise terminal. Fixed rates quoted before you book, luggage handled, and a driver scheduled around your ship — not the other way around.
Port Everglades is not one dock — it's more than a dozen numbered cruise terminals spread across a working seaport, and turnaround days can see several megaships boarding at once. Royal Caribbean's largest ships use Terminal 18, Celebrity sails from Terminal 25, and Princess and Holland America rotate through the mid-port terminals. Your chauffeur confirms the terminal from your cruise documents before pickup, enters through the correct port gate, and drops you at the curb where the porters take checked bags. One thing first-timers miss: everyone in the vehicle passes a security checkpoint at the port entrance, so have photo ID and boarding documents in hand, not in the trunk.
Most sailings board between late morning and mid-afternoon, and the port is calmest before noon. Coming from FLL it's about a 10-minute hop; from Fort Lauderdale Beach or Las Olas hotels about 15 minutes; from Boca Raton roughly 25 miles; and from Miami hotels about 30 miles up I-95. We time the pickup so you arrive inside your cruise line's boarding window with margin to spare, and if you land at FLL the same morning, your driver tracks the flight and meets you at baggage claim. Cruise parties travel heavy — the Escalade ESV takes up to 6 with luggage, and the Sprinter van keeps groups of up to 12 together with every suitcase in one vehicle.
When four or five ships empty out on the same morning, the rideshare situation outside Port Everglades turns into a long, surging queue. A pre-booked chauffeur avoids all of it. Self-assist passengers who carry their own bags typically walk off between about 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.; passengers with checked luggage are called by group through mid-morning. Tell us your ship and your debarkation style and we schedule accordingly — your driver monitors the ship's actual arrival and adjusts if customs runs long. Headed straight to FLL? Ten minutes door to door means even a late-morning flight is comfortable. The rate is the same fixed price it was on embarkation day, no matter how many ships came in.

About 3 miles — roughly 10 minutes door to door. Port Everglades is the closest major cruise port to any South Florida airport, which is why so many cruisers fly into FLL.
It depends on the ship and sailing. Royal Caribbean's biggest ships typically use Terminal 18 and Celebrity uses Terminal 25, but assignments vary. Your chauffeur confirms the terminal from your cruise documents before pickup, so you're dropped at the right curb.
We plan around your cruise line's boarding window, usually late morning to mid-afternoon. From FLL or a Fort Lauderdale hotel that means leaving 30 to 45 minutes before you want to be at the terminal; from Boca Raton or Miami, closer to an hour to 90 minutes.
Yes. Every passenger in the vehicle passes a security checkpoint at the Port Everglades entrance, so keep photo ID and your boarding documents accessible rather than packed in checked luggage.
Tell us your ship and whether you're doing self-assist walk-off (typically 7:00 to 8:00 a.m.) or checked-luggage debarkation (called by group through mid-morning). We schedule your driver to match and adjust in real time to the ship's actual arrival.
Yes. Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats up to 12 with room for full-size cruise luggage, so the whole party rides together for one fixed price instead of splitting across three rideshares.
No. Black Limo's rate is fixed and quoted before you book. Turnaround Saturdays and Sundays — when rideshare surge at the port is at its worst — cost exactly the same as any other day.
