We Rode Florida's Brightline Train to our Cruise Ship!

if you're heading down to Florida to cruise on cruise ships there is a great new Transportation option we are going to test out today and that is what's next so we're at the brightline terminal in Miami and there's a chicken crossing the road mainly it's to get to the bright line so we're down here in Miami Florida and we're getting off of the MSC sea but we need to get up to West Palm Beach for tomorrow what's the option to Uber you could get a cab you could get a bust but in Florida they made something called brightline and that is a high-speed train that supposedly goes 100 miles per hour while heading all the way to Orlando now of course there is an app for this and you can jump on there and book your tickets and they go about every hour the next train but we're going to get on is the 1247. now before checking in I can tell you that there's two options when you get on the app you can get the smart pass which is about 30 per person to go from Miami up to West Palm Beach or for 51 dollars you can get the premium which we got for this ride because it's going to be our longest train ride now we're going to check out the smart class in another video coming up and the prices do fluctuate I looked at the early morning one at 7 A.M it was up at about 86 bucks a person instead of 51. so watch your times and if you're flexible you can get a cheaper price by maybe cruising in the middle of the day and right outside if you want it there's bike rentals and sometimes scooter rentals there's no scooters here right now if you're going to be hanging out at the terminal or hang out in Miami and just want to Bebop around this area also outside there are these screens where it says need a ride reserve a bright line for a seamless door-to-door transition and then you can see all the places they go to let's get inside get checked in and see what it's all about I don't know we did see some brightline bands and brightline little shuttles I didn't figure it out so we took the seven dollar Uber maybe I'll screwed that up it does get hot in Miami so if you want to grab a juice we got Joe's and the juice we got a latte and she got a smoothie great not because I booked it on my app you go to your tickets or your bookings boom pulls up those QR codes so we can just head upstairs to the premium Lounge so we had to skip and not film anywhere around security but they got some shops and then they got Mary Mary over here so there's the market over here and Bam you're in the premium Lounge upstairs we have some drinks yeah I even got some beer and then a bunch of departure boards so that's 11 47 on time we have the 12 47. so I can't remember the name of it but it's Miami and then Ave which is Avenger or something like that after that you go up to Fort Lauderdale then and then West Palm Beach from West Palm Beach the train actually continues on all the way to Orlando now so if you fly into the Orlando Airport and want to come to Miami it's like a two and a half three hour train ride on this thing and I think they're even extending all the way out to Tampa and now we got an hour so we're gonna get a snack let's see what they got they got apples oranges gummy bears popcorn I'm gonna do the craziest plate ever of gummy bears and pepperoni that's just weird and if you're like me and you're always wearing out your cell phone you need to charge it well there's Chargers underneath all the seats on the tables so we're gonna head down they just call for all premium and pre-boarding so we're gonna run down there now we're heading down to car one long train so we have bottom bag storage down here and upper storage up top like an airplane all the bags are up here got two big luggage pieces all the way in the that end of the car which is I guess the back because we're in the front I don't know there's no like front end of this train I want you to pull back on that little button now though I thought this was a candy bar do you know what's inside a cold what towel that smells delicious like lavender it's a treat but we are actually supposed to be in seat one A and B and then C is all by itself over there okay come on so you have little light switches up top like an airplane it's a lot like an airplane yeah two of those what other options do you have for drinks oh wow cool thank you thank you we got m we got a charcuterie we got Pepsis with ice and water it's all part of the premium package a little hour and 20 minute train ride so it may get busier as we go along because we do have two stops along the way I feel so Chip and Joint not chipping I feel so Kara and Nate right now sorry uh Nara and Kate yeah first stop is Adventure all right we're pulling into Fort Lauderdale right now and heading Boca Raton after oh you gotta check this out if you come up between the cars you can actually get between smart car one and two and then there's your restrooms you wanted to check it out this thing is absolutely ginormous baby chain station oh it's locked locked it and it slides open and you have two restrooms one in each car and then there's the next car up you can actually walk all the way to the front if you wanted to I'm actually standing between cars right now so that's pretty fancy and just like that we have made it to West Palm Beach said 207 we got here at 205. so two minutes earlier doors are opening and just like that we're here so that was kind of excellent it was I can't really ask for much more than that right on time everything worked on time and if you give us a few days we'll show you what the regular smart passages look like and we'll show you what West Palm Beach's turbo looks like when we come back here after our next trip but you're gonna have to subscribe keep watching leave some comments find out what's next foreign
