Hello everyone! My family is considering taking the train to New Orleans next month, from Atlanta. We will be a party of 3; me, my husband, and our 14 year old son. None of us have ever traveled via train and I'm so green I don't even know what questions to ask. I called Amtrak but the person was interested in selling me tickets more than providing information, so I'm hoping you guys can help.
1. What kind of traincars does the Crescent have? We're assuming we'll ride coach, because we won't need overnight accommodations. A huge plus would be to be able to sit "upstairs". Is that possible on the Crescent?
2. What's the deal with getting a roomette? To be able to pee in front of your whole family? :giggle: That is a strange setup, if what I'm seeing is how it really is. What are the perks to having a roomette or deluxe?
3. What are the chances of us 3 sitting together in coach?
4. Does the Crescent have wifi? The Amtrak website says no but I'm hoping that's outdated info.
Any other advice would be appreciated. My husband and I are totally stoked at the idea of going by train (we grew up hearing about the Southern Crescent), but my son is not excited.
