For my cruise a few weeks ago, I took Groome to MCO (took 90 minutes to get out of the bubble, as I was the first one picked up). From MCO, I took Brightline to Fort Lauderdale for the first time - fares were all over the place and varied wildly depending on what time you departed. I got a good fare for first class, so was able to enjoy the first class Lounge at MCO, was able to choose my forward-facing seat in the spacious first class train. Complementary snacks and drinks. Arrived on time at Fort Lauderdale - and was given a $10 Uber voucher to apply to my ride from train station to port.
For the return, we departed on time, but half way through trip, we came to a complete stop for a full 90 minutes, as there was a vehicle accident on the tracks about a mile ahead of us that had to be cleared. Arrived back at MCO 90 minutes late - had to call Groome and reschedule the reservation I missed.
Luckily the delay was on the return and not the departure date, as that could have made boarding the ship close to sail away time. Going forward, I would take train the day prior to plan for any delays.
