Thanks for the links - this is great. I think he is funny and at times goofy and corny but it's his TV show and if he gets more people to ride the train all the better! Now we must all admit that there are some people on here that "get on our nerves" as well but everyone has thier different...

Not sure on the dates you are talking about? Do you need to be in Seattle this coming Friday, July 22nd or the following week? If your looking at the following week everything should be fine by then. This week it should be okay but I suspest you would get in a few hours late but I am only...

Because of the service disruption there should be no additional charge to change your ticket - it just becomes a matter of the room type being availalbe. From what I see you will need to leave on Tuesday (from Chicago) to get into Seattle Friday night so you will be there in time for Saturdays...

Thanks for the feedback it will be helpful. It now looks like I would have been okay to stay on the Empire Builder for our July 20th departure. I'm a little bummed but it is what it is.

Greetings, This is our first LD train triip, unless you count the one I took 50 years ago as a child:) We were booked on the EB but changed to the SWC due to ND flooding, to make sure we got a roomette and it probvided the best options for getting to Seattle for our cruise. That being said...

I do hope the EB is up and running soon but we did decide to change our plans for July 20th. Since our cruise leaves from Vancouver on July 23rd and we couldn't leave before 20th we decided to take the Southwest Chief on July 20th. We got the last roomette. We seriously considered the CZ but...

We decided to change our July 20th EB to the SWC - got the last roomette and had to book a flight to get to Vancouver on time for our cruise. Since we haven't been on a train before we won't know what we are missing on the EB. I'm sure that if our experience is good will want to do it...

Just saw on AMTRAK facebook page the EB is temporarily suspended until further notice......link.... http://www.facebook....150223056176127

Hi, Newbie here. We were going on the EB but that is now cancelled. We are looking at CZ or SWC. Looking for a great first time experience on the train! We have roomette reserved might try and get a bedroom. We are going to have to fly from either Reno or LA to Seattle to catch our cruise...

Guess we won't be taking our first ride on the EB on July 20th. What is better SWC or CZ

Where did you see the notice that EB is suspended indefinitely? We are scheduled on EB on July 20th west to Seattle. Alternatively thinking of taking the SC to LAX or CZ to Reno and then flying to Seattle. Looking for recomendations on which is better scenery SC or CZ. I've heard best chance...

My bad it is sold out on the 19th not the 20th yet

Been checking Amtrak site every now and then and it is now showing the July 20 sold out I think I need to think about other routes. Begining to lean towards SC any thoughts on it over CZ as far as more to see?
