According to a Story on Google News ( no Link)Amtrak is offering a 2 for 1 Special in Roomettes from July 7 to 13, for Travel from July 17 to Sept 30,2020.

With the Travel Restrictions thst are now in place, and the Out of Control Spread of COVIN!19, I wonder how many people will take advantage of this offer??
 
For those of us getting too old to climb into a top bunk, two roomettes across the hall from each other are an ideal way to travel.
It's not two roomettes, it's buy one get one for the rail fare when two people travel in the same roomette. The room charge is not discounted with this offer.

Traveling by Amtrak in a roomette is the safest way to travel across the country. That's the angle Amtrak should be pursuing.

I have yet to see a single travel restriction that applies to train passengers en route to other destinations.

Notice that this promotion ends exactly when LD service cuts are scheduled to begin. That makes sense since capacity will go way down as of October 1st.

I didn't think that they were trying too hard to fill the sleepers during the summer, but this suggests otherwise.

E-gads! Got a $500 TCV expiring Jan 19, 2021 which must be committed for a reservation by then... and way too many points which also need to be used. For now I'm gonna sit home, stay safe, and wait to see what happens.

I was actually getting jaded on those prior dining car meals served on landfill destined plasticware... we all say we miss so much, because the menu became the same for every train as per the slow and consistent food service deterioration over many years.

Can't imagine what it would be like to go back on the rails to 'experience' the further deterioration downgraded to those noxious tasteless unsatisfying starch, sodium, and fat laden 'flex meals' heated on the carcinogenic Polyethylene Terephthalate plates. Does Amtrak actually care about customer well being and loyalty??? Neep! It's all about politics and money! 🤬
 
I’m just thankful that Amtrak is still running, is offering some deals, and is trying to keep employees as safe as possible. If Contemporary Dining helps keep people from catching Covid-19 it’s a very small sacrifice that I’m happy to make. Trust me, I eagerly await the return of regular dining. But in the meantime I want people to be as safe as possible.

Yes but, we're all concerned that after the pandemic is over, Amtrak will gleefully announce, "Due to the tremendous success and popularity of our innovative and highly appreciated flex dining concept, it's here to stay!" :mad:😱😨😰🥵🥶
