Boston cruisers tend to be planners. You picked your sailing months ago, you’ve packed light enough for the overhead, and you’d like your ground transfer to be just as buttoned-up. Jiffy Jeff Transportation handles the South Florida ground leg the way a good charter handles your luggage on the ship, quietly, properly, with someone watching every detail you’d otherwise have to.
Logan to Sailing in One Smooth Handoff
Once you book, our dispatch links your BOS–MIA, BOS–FLL, or BOS–PBI flight to a chauffeur. We monitor the plane in real time. If you push back late from Logan, the driver sees it. If you land early, the driver sees that too. We confirm by text once you’re on the ground, meet you curbside, load the luggage, and you’re moving toward Port of Miami, Port Everglades, or Port of Palm Beach within minutes of clearing baggage claim. See how our Jiffy Jeff cruise port transportation services cover all three ports.
The Routes Boston Travelers Book Most
MIA to Port of Miami
Eight miles, about twenty-five minutes door to pier on a typical embarkation morning. The drive is short, but the timing matters, boarding cutoffs at Port of Miami close roughly ninety minutes before sail. We plan accordingly.
FLL to Port Everglades
A three-mile hop, ten to fifteen minutes. The cleanest pairing if you’re sailing Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, or Allure of the Seas out of Port Everglades.
PBI to Port of Palm Beach
Short and quiet. We also run FLL → Port of Palm Beach for Boston travelers who couldn’t find a PBI fare, about an hour, flat rate, no surprises.
Why a Private Transfer Beats the Cruise-Line Bus
The cruise-line motorcoach waits to fill. A rideshare driver may or may not have room for your group’s eight suitcases. Our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans carry up to fourteen passengers, hold real luggage, and stop only where you tell us to. Compare against our standard airport shuttle to South Florida cruise ports. If you’re routing through a pre-cruise hotel night in Brickell or on Fort Lauderdale Beach, your chauffeur knows the property and the side entrance to skip the lobby line.
For Boston Families and Groups
Car seats and boosters are free on request. Wheelchair-friendly vehicles are available if you flag the need at booking. Multi-vehicle group transfers are standard when one Sprinter isn’t enough, see our large group cruise transportation. We coordinate timing across staggered flight arrivals from BOS so the cousins from Boston and the in-laws from Hartford end up at the same gangway at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m flying Logan to Miami on the morning of my cruise, is that too tight a timeline?
It depends on your sail time. A BOS–MIA flight landing by 11:00 a.m. usually works for a 4:00 p.m. Port of Miami sailing because boarding cuts off about 90 minutes before sail. Anything landing after 12:30 p.m. on a same-day flight is a real risk but Jiffy Jeff Transportation recommends Boston cruisers fly down the night before and overnight in Brickell, on Miami Beach, or near Port Everglades. We track your BOS flight from gate departure either way.
What’s the fastest way to get from Fort Lauderdale Airport to Port Everglades after a Boston flight?
A private shuttle is the fastest that is 10 to 15 minutes door to pier on the 3-mile run. Jiffy Jeff Transportation meets your FLL arrival curbside the moment you clear baggage claim, loads luggage, and drops you at the specific cruise-line terminal (not the entrance ramp). Boston cruisers sailing Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, or Allure of the Seas typically use this exact route.
How much does a private cruise port shuttle from Miami Airport actually cost for a Boston family?
Pricing depends on group size and route, but a Jiffy Jeff Transportation private transfer from MIA to Port of Miami for up to 6 passengers typically lands in the $90 to $140 range, flat, in writing, before pickup. Larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans for 8 to 14 cruisers run slightly higher but split per-person cost lower than an Uber XL once Saturday-morning surge pricing is factored in.
Do you provide car seats for Boston families flying down with infants or toddlers?
Yes. Infant, toddler, and booster seats are available on request at no extra charge. Mention ages and weights at booking and the appropriate seats will be installed and verified before your chauffeur leaves the depot. This is the most-asked question from Boston families and the answer is the same across MIA, FLL, and PBI pickups.
Can you pick us up from a Fort Lauderdale Beach hotel and take us to Port of Miami for a Royal Caribbean sailing?
Yes. Many Boston travelers overnight on Fort Lauderdale Beach or in Hollywood the night before a Miami-based cruise. Jiffy Jeff Transportation runs hotel-to-port transfers across both counties on a flat rate of about 45 minutes from most Fort Lauderdale Beach properties to Port of Miami, with full luggage handling at both ends.
Is gratuity included in the price quote, or do I tip the driver separately?
Gratuity is not built into the quote. Tipping your chauffeur 15 to 20% of the fare is standard and appreciated, and you can either add it to the booking or hand it directly to the driver at drop-off. Every other line item that is tolls, parking, flight tracking, bottled water, luggage handling and all is included in the flat rate Jiffy Jeff quotes you.
What happens if my Boston Logan flight is cancelled on cruise embarkation morning?
Call Jiffy Jeff Transportation dispatch at 305-588-6143 as soon as you know. We rebook the pickup to your new arrival into MIA, FLL, or PBI at no charge. If you miss the sailing entirely, we’ll help you arrange catching the ship at its first port but most commonly Nassau or CocoCay for Caribbean itineraries, and coordinate the airport-to-airport leg.
