    infant travel in bedroom and family room

    The bedroom width is 6'6", but the bottom bed takes up 3'4" of that. That does not include the chair, which takes up space too so the pack n play lite may not fit. Also remember there will be a ladder set up too. If it was me, I would put the children in the bottom bed with me. You can also ask...

    Amtrak ONLY Rail Transit to Not Allow Pets!

    I'm with you on this. We also have two parrots, a 'mini macaw' and a blue and gold macaw. They don't travel too well, and both are quite capable of a serious bite. Also they can be very very loud, and that is something that is fairly difficult to control. If they get excited or agitated, they...

    Amtrak ONLY Rail Transit to Not Allow Pets!

    Good question. The ones here do not allow pets at all. They must be service animals only.

    Amtrak ONLY Rail Transit to Not Allow Pets!

    This would not solve the pet hair/fur/feather? issue. What about 'unruly' pets-too noisy/aggressive etc. Would you kick the passenger and their pet off the train, and why? Would the cleaning of day trains have to be changed? If it would take longer to clean the trains, then would that not affect...

    Amtrak ONLY Rail Transit to Not Allow Pets!

    Guest_Stefanie Weiss_*, This Forum is not run by Amtrak. You could call Amtrak and let them know your opinions @ 1 800 872 7245. I think it is highly unlikely that Amtrak would allow pets on trains right now. As much as I would enjoy taking a pet with me, I also realize it may not be fun for...

    Hey guys! Need some advice fast!

    I too think that would be a nice option. Then it really would be a 'Land Cruise'! :lol: Last summer, when we booked our AGR trip, the agent accidentally added a day layover in SAC. Good thing I caught it and called back. We would have been trying to board the train in SAC a day early!

    So far, we haven't had any extreme lateness on our trips. There is about a 3 hour layover on the last part of our next trip, but I'm not too worried.

    Reservation Question

    No, taking the Cascades up from OLW for a visit to TUK, then up to SEA. Our friend will come up the day after to join us enroute to SEA.

    Reservation Question

    That is why we chose the Cascades. We will be visiting the Museum Of Flight, spending the night, then the next day going up to SEA with our friend for the day. We can 'store' our luggage at the Amtrak Station while we wander around. Just made more sense to me to do it this way.

    Hey guys! Need some advice fast!

    I have noticed that it seems that 'lateness' is more common during winter and spring, from weather, floods, mudslides. I know these aren't the only reasons or times, but just seem to be the big reasons. Anyone else notice this?

    Hey guys! Need some advice fast!

    Glad you made it okay! Enjoy your ride on the EB!!

    Reservation Question

    I guess it's the 'mom' in me wanting it to be a real smooth thing. I know last summer we sat with an older lady going north. There was a set of four seats facing each other. It was fun talking with her! On our way back, we sat in the front of the car by ourselves.

    Hey guys! Need some advice fast!

    I would talk to the Conductor on the train you are on. He/she can call ahead, check status on the EB, and also should be able to tell you what to do when you arrive. It is unlikely that they would hold your train, but it doesn't hurt to talk to the Conductor!

    Reservation Question

    Okay, okay, may be I'm mistaken about the tickets having an assigned seat on it. I just looked back at the rezzies, you all were right. My bad, it's been a rough year. I guess the best way is just have our friend talk to the conductor when they board. I figured if they were all on one rezzie, it...

    I will post the result when I call.

    Reservation Question

    So it was a one-off? Okay, I think I will call and see what happens. The third party hasn't ridden a train before, and we wanted it to be a fun thing.

    Reservation Question

    We booked our tickets online last year, printed them at our local station. They had seats assigned on the rezzie and on the printed tickets. Remember, I'm speaking of 'Business Class', not Coach.

    Reservation Question

    When we took the Cascades in Business Class last year, they did indeed have assigned seats. Has this changed?
  19. sunchaser

    Reservation Question

    Okay all you "Reservation Experts", I have a question. I want to book 3 tickets for 3 people, 1 from OLW to SEA and 2 from TUK to SEA- all in business class, all the same time and day. I want the seats all together. TUK is the midpoint between the two. Can it be done online, or should I call?

    Shopping Points Not Posted - What to Do??

    I have run into this issue from time to time. Make copies of everything, wait, then call. I called in January, and I was called back 4 weeks ago about those missing points as a follow up. They suggested in the future that I send an email, which I did 2 weeks ago, and the new missing points have...
