Creator's Key Takeaways
I hate driving in Miami. It is. Oh, so driving is technically an option, but not a good one.
The service on board the train itself was very good. Uh it was really cool to have them sort of bring it right to your seat.
The one thing that I did have to knock them on was the air conditioning was horrible. Uh the air conditioning basically didn't work.
It's Miami. And if you're unfamiliar with Miami, it's expensive.

#cruisevlog #cruise #cruising Welcome to Orlando, Florida! In April 2025, we took the Brightline Orlando train from the Orlando international airport to Miami for our cruise on the Icon of the Seas. This Florida Brightline journey was a smooth and practical way to start our trip. Once in Miami on the day before the cruise would embark, we stayed at the Gale Miami Hotel & Residences. In this video, we'll take you inside the Orlando Brightline station, on the train itself, and then, of course, the beautiful Gale Miami Hotel & Residences.
