An additional station in Aventura was recently approved and Virgin Trains is working with the city of Boca Raton to add a station in 2020. ‘This private-public partnership is a great opportunity to expand PortMiami’s connectivity to visitors traveling from Central Florida and for Miami-Dade County residents to get to the Orlando area in a quick, enjoyable way,’ Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez added.Ĭurrent stops include downtown Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach with construction under way to connect with Orlando in 2022. The service will increase mobility, take cars off the road and connect Central Florida to the ‘cruise capital of the world,’ said Patrick Goddard, president of Virgin Trains. This will be a US transit first as the only intercity rail system directly connecting a major cruise port with an international airport (Orlando International Airport). Miami-Dade County commissioners on Tuesday gave the green light to Brightline, soon to be Virgin Trains USA, to develop a station at PortMiami by the end of 2020. At least that’s what we did the last time we used Brightline. Only 1 person needs to reserve the cruise package and the other person can reserve the cheaper ticket. Not worth it for an hour ten minute train ride. The only difference is a snack and beverage is offered for the most expensive seating. There are 3 different seating choices/prices. He did not receive a tip! It’s cheaper to use the cruise package than the most expensive seating. Lyft is about $12 however, the last time we took a taxi from the port to Brightline the taxi driver Flat Rated us and it was $22. The new offer is the cruise special which includes parking ( in the parking garage), your round trip fare, and Lyft to and from the port. We reserve on line and watch for rate decreases. I’m local and use Brightline every time we go to Miami for a cruise out of Miami. Did you fly into WPB or are you local? I noticed that Brightline is offering park n ride cruise packages, and I thought about doing this for our cruise in December.
