Not on our Oct 5th trip

We got off the southbound Meteor the day before the new flex meals were added. My main complaint about these meals is that they are WAY OVER SALTED and way overcooked. Ruins the texture, and in the case of the broccoli, a mushy stench. There was no cod but Chicken Rosa was offered. My husband...

What tickled me the most about the lounge was the bathroom sinks. Soap, water and air drying all in one

Yes. Family and good food/cookies. Great memories. My son knows how to make his mama happy. COOKIES 😃

I don’t know about that. If I took the October 15 train as I originally planned,the bedroom fare would have been $1,700+.I would have not liked to pay extra for traditional dining. which train would you choose? Someone will be upset.

Chicken Rosa. This is what my husband ordered. I tasted and it was not bad. He said it was ok. dinner was served with a little salad with eitherKraft ranch or iItalian dressing. Tiny salad but it was enough. Roll with butter. I ordered the shrimp and andouille sausage. OMG.SO SALTY. Good thing...

Currently on 97, no cod and the chicken Marsala is not available. They replaced it with chicken Rosa. It’s chicken in a vodka sauce. We’ll see how it is after 5.

In case anyone is interested, these are the offerings in the first class lounge

Both instances were maybe 2 or 3 days before travel. Either way I was glad my brother in law had the extra space. Where as I was ok in the handicap room with its extra space, my husband wasn’t. And now with the new viewliner II, I wouldn’t like it.

I had a rude guest rewards agent two weeks ago when I couldn’t log in to my account on Amtrak and wanted to know my point balance. The agent answered me in a rude tone saying that she spoke to me earlier and that nothing has changed since then. In the same rude tone I answered her back that I...

We reserved a roommette for my brother in law on the Meteor. He had a mini stroke and his walking and balance was affected. Day or 2 before our trip I called to see if the handicap room was available for him. He was changed to that room without a difference in fare. On another occasion, we were...

Just called. Yes. Because I originally took the last bedroom for the 44,000 points, it went out of inventory and the 64,000 points was the new fare. I can no longer get the bedroom B at the original fare. She couldn’t change it unless I paid the extra points. I guess I’ll just have to be happy...

I saw on Amtrak.com that the points for a bedroom was 44,446 points. I called to reserve it. She confirmed that price until I asked if it was bedroom B. That I wanted bedroom B in a new car. She then said the fare is different. She said it was 64,930 points. I questioned her and she said the...

Just got off the phone making my Meteor trip south. Something I didn’t know. Bedroom B costs more than Bedroom A.

. This is from our southbound Meteor, October 2019. The fruit cup was delivered, covered, with our breakfast. I don’t see the difference between a covered salad delivered with our June 2021 northbound Meteor and a covered cup of fruit. Oh yes I do. The salad was covered in foil whereas the...

We were not offered fruit on our June northbound Meteor trip. Is that an option now?

A tasty one at that. Lol

Silver Meteor (occasional Star) rider here. If Amtrak would bring back any dishes, what would you like to see return? I’ll start. I would love to see grits for breakfast and the beautiful fresh fruit bowl we had on our Oct 2019 flex breakfast. For lunch I would go for the veggie burger with...

I called about my JCPenny payment due as I had not received a statement. I asked what made up my balance and the Synchrony bank customer service kept adding the minimum amount due to try to get to the balance. She told me she couldn’t add. P.S. I had called a week before to get a copy of my...

We We had Flex Dining on our Oct 2019 south bound Meteor. And the food was terrible. Except for the bowl of fresh fruit, which we did not get on our June 2021 northbound trip. I doubt we’ll get traditional dining on our October southbound trip. 😡
