- Going on a cruise out of Port Miami or Port Everglades and looking for the cheapest cruise transposition? One option you need to consider is the Brightline train to the cruise port! It is an economical and a cheaper way to save money when going on a cruise.
Port of Miami parking is now $28 a day or $84 for a weekend cruise or $196 for a 7 night sailing at Royal Caribbean's Terminal A! If you are asking yourself "how do I get to port Miami?", you have to consider the Brightline Train and Brightline Shuttle Service directly to Port Miami or Port Everglades.
Looking to go to take the Brightline Shuttle to a Marlin's or Miami heat game? Ride to the terminal in style, have the option to pre-game on the train, and make it home safely at the end of the night.

Great comparisons of the three or so different ways of getting to the Ports!
Hi Brandon! Hopefully in due time, there will also be a station in the Cocoa/Cocoa Beach area in order to take the Brightline to Port Canaveral as well! And...eventually Tampa!
Here is hoping! I want to be able to get to Port Canaveral as well! It is a bit of a hazel from my house! I have high hopes!
Thanks Brandon! We love taking the bright line when we fly into Fort Lauderdale to sail out of Miami however this time I think we will check the price of an Uber instead. When we took our Virgin cruise last month it was perfect because we did enjoy the extra time in the first class lounge and “pregaming “because virgin sails later in the day. This time it will be a Disney cruise and we will be boarding in the morning so we may not choose to drink
It is def worth checking it out. For Pregaming, you can't beat that feature and you can def get your moneys worth in a 35 minute train ride!
When we cruise out - fly of ft. Lauderdale - we use Park & GO
( from south fl. , North palm beach county area )
Depreciation is a Fixed cost, not a Variable cost. It generally does not change if you drive normal distances. It is based on Time of Ownership.
depreciation of a building yes, depreciation of a car has fixed such as time of ownership components but how much you drive it is variable. Plus, I think cars have gone up in value over the last 2 years. Maybe they are an appreciating asset now? ;-)
Hello, The other option is Lyberi, which offers transfer service from $10 per person from the port of Miami to the Miami airport and $20 per person from the port of Miami to the Fort Lauderdale airport.
Thanks for sharing Lyberi! Always open to do sponsored content on the channel ;-) brandon@theweekendcruiser.com
I actually hadn't heard of this before this video!
Thank you for this, relocating to WPB in Sept and so doing this to a Marlins game. Hoping to cruise again in spring 2023 so will consider this
If it WPB you can't beat it for a Marlin's game!
Omg thank you so much for this information! Thank you from Arizona 👍👍👍
Always a pleasure! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the info. We are still figuring out how we will get to the port to board Symphony soon.
After my cruise, ♥️ Brightline from Miami to W Palm Beach. 1 hour & I’m Home.
As long as the ship comes in on time!
Looks like Brightline offers a package including a Brightline + ride from your home and to the port.
Hey Shawn, was just talking with a friend about this. I'm not sure it brightline + can include pickup from the port and believe their shuttle to the ports has stopped (don't hold me to this) Ticket prices have gone up for brightlines too. You can do a fare estimate on Uber.com and see what the difference might be. There customer service is pretty stellar if you want to call it chat with them online.
I really want to try Brightline from West Palm to Miami.
Judi, if you have not done it, it is life changing! Have a good friend of mine who only travels to the port from West Palm this way and loves it!
Very informative video. I’m looking into taking BL from WPB to FTL for our cruise out of Port Everglades. I live in Palm Beach Gardens. Is there return service from the port? Or just ride share back to the station? There are 3 of us so a straight Uber might make the most sense.
Great information! So appreciative. Heading down soon and exploring this option. Subtracting some driving time sounds so nice. If driving in from Orlando in a private vehicle, would it make much sense to park at Brightline’s garage in WPB for a week and ride the train to the shuttle? Is parking that long possible without the Brightline monthly parking pass?
That's actually not a bad strategy! Double check me here but I believe their parking is $10 a day and can be purchased with your ticket. They have excellent customer service to that you can chat with online and call if needed. I did both in researching this article and had a good experience. And hopefully, they just get the train running from Orlando soon!
I appreciate this.
Thanks Ava!
@@TheWeekendCruiser I have studied the Divinas deck plans, I'm thinking of interior deluxe with my low budget. I dont want noise. Any recommendations.
Deck 10 or 11 what's your feedback, I want to avoid engine room, festivities and rest when I go to the room. My son and I will be cruising.
@@avatomlinson2672 I did an interior room on Divina and will share the link to the room tour. I talked about noise in this room as it was noticeable. Best advice is to put a towel under the door to plug the gap between the door and the floor. th-cam.com/video/pbIuUSZ7a1w/w-d-xo.html
@@avatomlinson2672 I would not stay on the deck directly below the pool or dinning areas. Don't recall if this is deck 10 or 11.
Just looking at this idea for first post covid cruise, great info.. how's the luggage check in and pickup work? (would you trust them with checked in luggage not getting lost) I love this idea, but also noticed when I setup the booking on bright lines website and get to the + options. both private and share just return no service within 5 miles to port of miami =/. (its the hybrid sch, oasis @ 4 night wed-sunday) Live in north Florida so driving to west palm 5/dollar a day parking is no a brainer vs day earlier with hotel, plus parking fees. just trying to figure the logistics of the miami station to port and the return port to miami station .. didn't want uber / Lyft unless I had too. would think they would have this more straightforward as they really could tackle the cruse port market in so many ways. great video, made me want to try this idea even more.
I would absolutely trust them with my luggage. At a maximum, you have two stops on the train and they always seem to move them off quickly. You will not book the shuttle service with purchase. Just know the shuttle will be there and ready to take you to the ship! They do not offer return service and you will need a taxi/uber to get you back.
Hows the airport connection?
Brightline played with shuttles but they unfortunately did not stick and they have discontinued most of them. They do offer "fixed shuttles" for a fee or Brightline+ for a fee and complimentary with a premium ticket. www.gobrightline.com/offers/fixed-route-shuttles
Not sure if there’s anything that you can do about it but it seems your autofocus is a bit wonky.
Honestly, I leave it on auto most of the time as I am still learning camera equipment. Will see if I can pay better attention to that in the future. Thanks for the heads up!
I would like to know (if anyone knows) what if you are in a wheelchair? Can you take a shuttle?
Hey Michael! You sure can! When booking the shuttle, there is a toggle switch for "wheelchair assistance" you can select.
Was thinking about this last night, the shuttle to Miami doesn't have this option. Only the initial pickup from your location to the station. However, I have seen multiple vans that are accessible and their customers service is really good. If you contacted before, I hope they can figure it out.
Do you get a stiff neck with your head twisted like that?
Just wondering, as it looks like it could get painful. LOL
ha, trying out a new style! It really wasn't that bad and better allowed me to have my laptop in front of me. Hope it looked okay on your end!
So confusing . Don't know what you talking about. talk talk talk. Show us
Hey there, I always welcome kind feedback and enjoy taking brightline. What did you want to see that was not in the video? Thought I showed the full shuttle experience while explaining how it works but could have missed something.
