So our fam (me & the hubs and 8 & 10 year old boys) will be traveling back to Chicago from Grand Junction in early April. Currently just booked in regular "seats."
On Wednesday of that week, I have a ticket from GJT to DEN. I'll be staying for a few days in Denver and then the rest of the fam comes on the Saturday train. They stay on the train and I hop on for the rest of the journey. I have booked a DEN - CHI ticket.
IDEALLY, we would love to add 2 roomettes in Denver @ $200/room for the journey to Chicago. But can we add a roomette mid-way through the journey?
I know that my hubs & boys could snag the roomettes in GJT but we'd be paying $80+ more ($242/room) than if we got rooms starting in Denver. And since it is such a pretty ride from GJT to DEN, we try to spend as much time in the sightseer car as possible, so rooms aren't really needed until the evening. Even if we got the rooms in Denver, we'd somehow have to "add" me in the second room in Denver anyway.
Clear as mud? Am I thinking of this wrong or is there a better way?
I'm GUESSING that I'll just have to get on the phone w/ an Amtrak reservation agent to figure this out, but thought I'd ask you fine, wise people for your thoughts!
Thanks!
