You can also check your bags (free for premier guests, and a charge for smart travel guests). As previously stated getting Uber from the Fr. Lauderdale station and back to it from the Cruise Ship has been easy for us. Just requesting one when we arrive. We usually take the 8:50 am train from Orlando and that gets us to the ship with plenty of time to spare. By the way we use Park n Fly to park (advance booking for them saves money too).
Thanks for all the good tips and information. As for the question about rental car locations near the Miami Brightline station. We used Avis which was about one half mile from the station.....walkable. The may well be closer options. Avis was very close to our hotel in Hollywood Beach which is why we chose it.
