Yes! I have done it a few times. However, you must only speak with a guest rewards rep by calling 800-307-5000; a rep in the general call center will likely not be able to do it. Hours are 8AM-8PM, and they are closed on holidays (like today). They also might want to move you into a different...

Is Alcohol served on morning Acela first class? I wouldn't expect beer, but maybe a morning cocktail (or two)? I remember I was in FC many years ago, and boarded at Newark around 11AM (northbound); was told by the attendant they don't break out the wine until lunch time (wine isn't really a...

Boston section question: What is the food situation like for sleeper passengers lunch westbound? Order off the cafe menu, or something else? Also, are the Boston Viewliners the newer or older models? Room 7 will be on what side of the train (westbound)? IIRC, the scenery west of Springfield has...

Great to hear about the 32 sleeper being able to be relied upon. How about the 31 sleeper on the Coast Starlight? I have it booked for April.

Does anyone know the current climate in the lounge car for sleeper passengers? Is the section closest to the sleepers usable only for sleeper customers, or is it a "crew lounge"? Is it based on whatever the crew feels like on that particular run? The Amtrak website does indicate that sleeper...

Hey there, If I book a sleeper with points, and notice that the cost has gone down, can I call and get a refund for the difference? Or, do I have to cancel the reservation and rebook, thus incurring a 10% points penalty?

I was considering doing this as I am making this exact trip soon. However, I am already ticketed into LAX. Do you think anyone would be adverse to me leaving the train at SBA instead? I think based on the arrival times I would also get dinner in the dining car prior to getting off!

Does anyone know the “sweet spot “ for roomette pricing from NOL-NYP? I have a price of 499- should I grab it? It’s for April so I do have some time but don’t want to gamble too much.

End of April

I am in car 1131; is that the dorm? Room 2.

Does anyone know how the sleepers are marshaled on the SB CS? What side are even/odd roomettes are?

If travelling on SB Starlight and getting off at Santa Barbara, is there still time for dinner in the diner? Scheduled arrival time into Santa Barbara is 6:12.

What is the current consist of the CONO? Is there at least a cross country lounge car where sleeper passengers can eat without having to take back to their rooms?

Hello, I have some questions regarding the SB Starlight to EB Sunset connection at LAX: 1. Amtrak.com lets you book this as a connection, so I assume it is guaranteed. Is this a reliable connection? Does Amtrak have a contingency plan for passengers if the Starlight is late, such as a bus...

I’m taking a trip on the SB Vermonter from Bellows Falls to NYC next month. The system assigned seat 4a, the only single seat left. Does this seat have a decent view, or will I be looking at the window post?

Does anyone know if the diner has returned at least as a "sleeper lounge'?

Dinner served on eastbound Sunset into New Orleans? This is probably a stupid question, but I just wanted to make sure. Who knows what Amtrak tries to pull these days. I remember back in 2005 on the eastbound Lake Shore (when it still had a diner), the dining car served a "brunch" from...

I also heard from another passenger who was on the train when it only had two domes that the coach skyline dome was also restricted to coach passengers. Seems bizarre- one dome for all sleeper passengers would seem inadequate- even in the off season.

I am on the train as I write this and I can report that the additional sleeper skyline dome has returned. Having said that, my sleeper attendant did advise that the coach skyline dome is really only for economy. No matter; there’s enough room for everyone! Photo was taken from the park car.

Did you see how many domes were on the train?
