It just evaporated I think. It was a Virgin inspired thing I think to connect with Virgin Cruises. When that went away so did the awkward plan.
Having been to the cruise terminal twice last year (dropping off and picking up parents so I could drive their car instead of them paying for parking), what that area needs to connect to downtown is either a heavy-rail metro that connects through the existing metrorail to the airport, or a gadgetbahn like the mover that mostly provides connections to transit that goes beyond downtown. The way big ships are loaded and unloaded makes airplane boarding look downright efficient and brisk, and a train that supports hundreds of passengers will spend more time waiting to board than in motion.
I've twice transferred from Brightline to Virgin Cruise terminal so they would have had at least 1 passenger! haha.
