Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Bill from cruisehabit.com and I'm standing here at the brightline station in Boca Raton Florida

the trains themselves are really nice we've taken them a couple times from the station nearest our home

what really stands out with these particular trains is the ride other trains I've been on in the US tend to offer a bumpy shaky or loud ride but these were nearly as smooth and quiet

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Whether you're a local or a visitor, there is a new way to get around in South Florida, and for some it may be an excellent way to get to or from your cruise or flight. We've starting taking Brightline Trains' new high-speed service from Boca Raton to Ft Lauderdale International Airport, Miami International Airport, Port Miami, and Port Everglades. In this video we discuss the cost, process, options, and experience so you can decide if it's a good way for you to get around the next time your cruising out of South Florida. **UPDATE** Shortly after making this, it seems Brightline Trains stopped running shuttles to local cruise ports. While this is disappointing, it doesn't change our general recommendation. Why? Premium fare passengers get private complimentary transportation to the ports, still (must be arranged in advance via the app), and Smart fare guests will find that UberX fares from the stations to PortMiami or Port Everglades run $10-20. If you arrange these connections via the Brightline App, they'll sync with train schedules and arrive just in time for you, without incurring waiting fees. If you're thinking about booking a cruise, resort stay, theme park visit, or any other vacation, travel smarter by getting help from Touring & Cruises (formerly TouringPlans Travel).
