Hello all. After being fairly cooped up with the pandemic my mom(79) decided she wanted to go on a trip to Reno, for gambling. I was a little leery but I'm always ready for fun. I booked us a bedroom both ways. I had a $400 voucher that really needed to be used so we paid about $1300...

On my latest trip to Reno on the CZ, 3 women in a bedroom, I took magnetic clips to hang a sheet for privacy if we showered. Since my mom gets cold, I brought magnetic covers for the vent. None of these would stick anywhere in that bedroom, why?

When I made my reservation, the agent told me to check back to see if the room price lowers and they could make an adjustment. Today a bedroom is showing what I think is around a $200 price drop from what I paid. I have called three times, two of the times, there were no bedrooms available...

Good morning. I hadn't been on the train for at least a couple of years.  I sneak on the forum to still see what's going on, of course hearing of changes.  So I was interested to see if my ride would be much different, which it wasn't.  I was also excited this was a solo train trip, just me.  I...

Good morning everyone. It's been 2 years since I have been on Amtrak, my mom has insisted on driving and now I have a trip reserved, I'm so excited! My question is about Chicago and the Legacy Club and Metropolitan Lounge.  I will be in coach from Denver to New Orleans.  On the trip back I...

The original plan was my mom and myself traveling in lower coach for both ways. Rooms were priced high then sold out. We have decided that roomettes are too small for us, so I don't look at those, unless they would be super cheap and we could get two. My sister decided to go to Reno with us...

Hi all, I tried searching this but just put us in a family bedroom for 3 adults. We are fine with bed set up and said this when I upgraded my reservation. The agent knows all are adults from our coach reservation. So miss worry wart here is now thinking one of us will not be allowed to board...

Hi all, I have been searching for information on this and what I found is kind of old information. I might have even posted to ask these same questions in the past. I have an opportunity for a free cruise out of Galveston and have a concern about the thruway bus from Galveston to Longview...

My mother and I took the CZ to Reno from Denver and back. Our first reservation was a roomette out to Reno and one on the return trip. The roomette going to Reno was priced a bit high and was in the crew car. After thinking and talking about the higher cost we decided to cancel the roomette...

My journey started on March 19th. DEN-RAT-LAX I arrived at Denver Union Station about an hour early. The station is nice but at 4:45 none of the restaurants are open, which I knew. I headed down to wait for my thruway. There were maybe 7 of us. The arrival time for our bus was 5:45am. No bus...

Here is the story. On my Chicago to Denver leg of my trip I booked coach using AGR points. At the Chigaco station I looked up the fare for a roomette(no points left), it was priced at $196 dollars. I assumed I would be able to do this upgrade and just be charged the $196 for the roomette...

Hi all, packing for my trip. I have roomettes booked for all travel except my return home. Since I am going on a cruise, my suitcase is full. My return trip is NOL-DEN, the CONO and CZ. Am I right in thinking they should have enough blankets to purchase? Thanks!

This is a new route for me. I am extending my vacation, cruise out of Long Beach then taking the Sunset Limited to New Orleans to go on another cruise! I was originally going to go home to Denver after the first cruise and realized I would only be home for two days and would then head out...

Hi all, Did some searching on here and the Metro Plaza seems okay but it is safe for a woman to stay? I won't be walking around at night, however, I do smoke and will step outside. Also has anyone had a super late check out there? I will be taking the Sunset Limited.

Hello all. Going on a cruise out of Long Beach. Taking the train and will take the Flyaway bus to LAX to meet up with family that are flying in. No problem there, have done this before. When we get off the ship to come home, I am looking at taking a shared shuttle with family to LAX(to save...

Do we know yet if it will be re-routed or when?

Hello all, it has been a while. Have not traveled since August of 2012! Sooo, in a couple of weeks I will be headed to Vegas, DEN-RAT-KNG-LAS. Last time when I arrived in Vegas at 3:00AM on the thruway shuttle I caught a cab to downtown Vegas, $50! :o At that time, tired, feeling loopy...

I was just reading a reply to my trip report and read through my report again. One thing I didn't mention was on my CHI-DEN route, after boarding and the train got moving...I was riding along, looking at the sights and kept hearing music. This went on for quite some time. Pretty soon this...

I first want to say I thoroughly enjoyed this trip on Amtrak. This is quite long but so much happened :blush: This was my first time riding for two days in coach plus my first time east and south. And first time having a connecting train. Before the trip I was very anxious about the...

Oh my goodness, suck a dilema here. :rolleyes: I had decided to check my large bag, DEN-NOL. But...after reading the weather forecasts, looks like thunderstorms in the areas the CZ will be traveling. I thinking late train. My question... If the CZ is late in to Chicago, as in I have just...
