Wear Comfortable Footwear

Bring Water and Sun Protection

Florida’s sun can be strong; carry water, sunscreen, and a hat to stay hydrated and shielded during the open-air ride.

Plan Return Timing for Your Cruise

The train runs until 4:15pm but factor in walking time back to the port to avoid last-minute rush before ship departure.
