we're from NY. Thinking of taking an Alaskan cruise next summer. Hubby hates to fly (but will when necessary). Interested in train travel for one way, or both ways. If we did one way, I'd do it on the way home, so not worrying about any possible delays as much, and as a fun ending to our trip.
I've read Canadian train travel is a step up from US. I don't know anything about Canadian train travel though. We once used Amtrak from NJ to Sanford, Fl, and enjoyed it. Had a family sleeping car (w/ our own private bathroom, shower). DH would insist on something similar.
Amtrak site isn't the easiest to navigate (for me, at least).
I see the 2 basic routes from NY to Chicago, then switching trains from Chicago to Seattle (but I can't determine if it goes up to Vancouver). I think we'd rather sail from Vancouver than Seattle.
Not interested in any bus connections, at all.
If anyone can help me out a bit, I'd be very appreciative!
