Last Friday, we took the train from Boston to Orlando, in a bedroom from NY to FL. We had a previous overnight trip in coach and hubby said never again. We enjoyed having our own space and bathroom this time around. South Station was pleasant but NYPenn was not particularly enjoyable. Our car attendant was efficient and personable.
The food service was very slow, seating us about 45 minutes later than the reservation time at dinner.
The breakfast service the next morning was atrocious. We got to the dining car about 7:30 am. We were told to wait in the lounge car. We were finally seated with a couple who already ordered and we watched them eat their breakfast and leave before our order was taken. It was a total of 2 3/4 hours from arriving at the dining car to when we were served breakfast.
So other than the breakfast and slow dinner service, it was a pleasant ride. Thanks for all the tips on traveling by train!
