Hi Everyone,
Our very first Amtrak trip is coming up in 5 weeks and we're soooo excited !!!!! We are doing a circle of the whole country, CS - EMY/LAX, SL - LAX/NOL, CRESCENT - LAX/NOL, LSL/CZ - NYP/EMY all in bedrooms. I've been lurking and reading everything. Thanks to all of you for all the info it's been fun reading it and I've a good idea of what to expect and not to expect. It's our land cruise.
My main question is: If the CS departs on time out of EMY at 8:35am will we be able to get breakfast? If it's not included can we just purchase breakfast in the diner or would we use the snack bar? OR Should we just eat before we leave? Since it's our first trip I would prefer to eat on the train, it's more exciting.
Also just thought of this really not the topic but.
Is the status on the website accurate? I often read problems with this. I would hate to check the status and the train that's running late arrive earlier than projected and we miss it. Do we just always go to the station at the scheduled time regardless of the status and just wait?
