A question to Auto Train experts:
1. Traveling party - 2 adults + 2 young kids in a Superliner sleeper car
2. Normally, Family Bedroom would be used, but it seems to be extremely expensive this year
3. The next choice -- 2 adjacent roomettes, which seems much more reasonable price-wise
4. However, Superliner roomettes do not have ladders to upper bunks; also, it would break the family party into 2 pieces
5. Therefore, the question:
- Can the "regular" bedroom + an extra coach seat can be used in this situation ?
a) They can only book 3 people in a bedroom, so there has to be 2 separate reservations, one sleeper (3 people) and one coach (1)
b) Can the coach passenger then walk to the bedroom and stay there all the time ? It seems that there is an "easy chair" in a bedroom
that is not being used when the bedroom switches to a "night mode"
c) Is riding in the "easy chair" much different from riding in coach ? Obviously, no recline and less legroom, but it seems that with some
effort one can sleep in it
d) It seems that meals are included for all Auto Train passengers, even in coach. The diner cars are different but it looks like they serve
the same meals. If this is the case, is it possible for a coach passenger to take his dinner ticket to the sleeper diner car and dine
with the family ?
Thanks in advance.
