NO to New Orleans I can do that one without food,but will always take my goodie bag of food in case something happens that we are delayed during the trip. So is it really gonna happen soon -NO to Mobile?

Loved the continuation of your report, the pictures are awesome also-the food still looks ugly and unappetizing, but the cheese tray looks good. Guess it’s fried chicken, pound cake, chips, etc on my next trip. For breakfast I always stop at Starbucks and pick up my croissant sandwich before...

I am loving your trip report. The pictures are awesome. I used to love travel on the Crescent as it was the only way I got to travel and see my daughter in NJ- I don’t travel by plane. I would go from NO to Newark. I was very disappointed the last time I was on the Crescent in a sleeper as the...

Maybe they were being too loud. I can be loud and rowdy without alcohol lol. I hope I’m never threatened with jail or being put off. Just be peaceful and go back to your room- that’s what I would have done especially being so far away from home and needing the ride

So sad for the Crescent. Do sleeper passengers have to eat in their rooms.

Any speculation on how long the trip will be on Amtrak NOL to Mobile. Wonder what the scenery will be like. I will take that train if it’s not a long ride

Any updates on anything coming in or out of Baton Rouge. It seems here it Baton Rouge we get news then it abruptly stops

I don’t know the reason but a few years ago when a friend and I left from Slidell instead of NO going to ATL in a roomette- they said they didn’t check bags. Maybe it was just to NO but it was my friends first time and she had two huge bags. Miserable trip, very claustrophobic-We came back on...

I would be totally claustrophobic with doors and walls on the delta pod- being in the roomette with another person is too close contact for me- which is why I book bedrooms. Delta pod just looks like coach seats with a wall

I’m looking up Delta Pod?

Amtrak always promises but never follows thru. Where are all those view liner cars with red interior built so long ago/ I believe by Siemens?

They have been discussing a train on Baton Rouge for years, it would be successful I think, but will it ever happen? Who knows?

I don’t need them for conversation, I realize they are busy, but for basic needs, if I need you to help me an old lady to put my carry on up, to check on me from time to time,to bring water, to pick up my tray after I have eaten and not leave it outside my door for hours,I’m not needy,I’m not...

Lately when I have traveled Amtrak the SCA has been unattentive and MIA for most of the trip, except turning down the bed, but when the last hour or so of the trip is within site, they come a running. No tip for you!!!!

Well, my opinion and only my opinion, is with all the crazies out here, would I really want to sleep with some one, I don’t know!!! Just saying. I have slept in hostels but I knew everyone in the room.I don’t think I would book a couchette at all.

Is that first class, because my daughter had a first class on United from Newark to NO during end of pandemic and she got snacks, but she said coffee was good and she just wanted to be separated from other folks with a little more space. So that was important for her and she ate when she arrived...

She did say she enjoyed the folks she met on her trip, that tamale was awfully nasty looking lol and she should have done more research, but I kinda enjoyed her article, but she wore heels and a long dress, does anyone remember that one time train ride episode on *** and the City lol

That’s so sad, wow!!!

Maybe because my first train ride was on the Crescent and that was coach and it was fabulous, I packed chicken, pound cake, snacks and the attendant was awesome as I had my disabled daughter with me, then I found out about the sleepers and those experiences were awesome and great and now to have...

I don’t know, if this is her first experience, maybe it should not be the Crescent, I was so disappointed the last time I rode it in 2021, I’d rather ride in a car all the way to NJ and I hate long car rides with a passion.
