Took it in October. Train down to Miami was 25 minutes late, I believe the reason was to allow the northbound train to pass. The return train to Orlando was on time. Staff very helpful. We had suitcases that were checked bags on plane but didn’t need to pay for them on Train. Just put them at the end of our car. We took a shuttle to Miami airport that I believe was about $15 pp, pay on board and waiting right outside Train station. No reservation necessary.
Sign up for and watch for deals. Got a great deal on the ride going down, unfortunately same deal wasn’t available for return trip. Would definitely take it again. Very comfortable. Beats driving or flying because the flights I looked into involved long layovers.
