    Amtrak Dining and Cafe Service discussion 2024 H1

    All the flex meals look like a bunch of slop. A picture of what I feed my Yorkie would be more appetizing. Sorry- I had a throwback moment of what the traditional meals used to look like on the Crescent. I digress lol The sad thing is I priced a ticket from NOL to Newark recently and it was...

    New Gulf Coast Amtrak service (New Orleans - Mobile and Baton Rouge)

    I was actually looking forward to this service. Being in Baton Rouge, I would drive to NO and take the train to Mobile. Then take the ride to the beaches in a vehicle.This is really so crazy if cancelled. Just like train from Baton Rouge to New Orleans/ I don’t expect that to come to fruition...

    Riding Amtrak for fun?

    I think what really soured my hubbie on trains was his last time riding. We were going from Hammond,La to Memphis. Convinced him not to drive and take the train. He slept listened to music as I went to the site seeking car and just enjoyed the ride- well just as we were approaching Memphis- on...

    Riding Amtrak for fun?

    How I wished that any of my relatives or friends would love to ride the train with me. At that point I might even be able to tolerate flex dining.When they do get on the train it’s complain and more complaining. It’s so slow, it takes too long, why are we stopping, can we go faster. I’m only on...

    Tipping on Amtrak

    I stopped tipping SCA when I had to haul my own luggage to sleeper, barely saw until end of trip and it felt like it was expected because he was very present with conversation the last 20 minutes of a 12 hour ride. And no the roomettes were basically empty.

    Crescent discussion 2023 Q4 - 2024

    That bath and some traditional dining. Now that the door blew off a plane and I was actually considering getting on one and giving up trains to head to NJ. I guess I will have to go back to trains and keeping tabs on the Crescent and pay for a sleeper what I could get a first class seat on the...

    Sleeper accommodation discussion

    I have tried roomettes on short trips alone and feel bundled in so I don’t think I could do an overnight. I love bedrooms because they don’t make me feel as claustrophobic, They are extremely expensive from when I first started to ride trains and if you have ever ridden in the H room it is...

    Sleeper cleanliness observations

    Yes that old fashioned cleaner is the way to go and I love the smell of it. Maybe because my mom always used it. As far as cleanliness of the sleeper. I wipe and spray the things I’m in contact with the most otherwise I would be a cleaning fool lol. If I don’t see it- I probably don’t clean it...
