First time I really enjoyed the Brightline experience and what I didn't like didn't have know what to help with luggage and people assign to the same seat.

Overall trip was good. Driver seemed to have a bit of a lead foot as there were a few hard breaks, almost causing my computer to slide off my lap. Wi-Fi was excellent. Overall will definitely use again when the opportunity comes up.

I enjoy the convenience not have to drive by myself to Orlando. Check in and check out were easy. Signage of which train goes to where could be better. As I was boarding Ft. Lauderdale station. Both Miami bound and Orlando bound trains arrived at the same time. I have to ask which train should be the one to board.
In between the sponsors advertising banners, I hope to see the announcement of the next stop or a signage on the station showing where the train is heading to and what stops the train will make. I was asked by other passengers and I have no clue which train goes to where and what stops the train will stop. A map of the train on station will be very helpful.
The seats are very nice but not comfortable. I hope seats can recline so people can rest on the train.
Thank you!
