Pregnant on Amtrak

[Qapla]

With regard to cleaning up the roomette after a birth ...

Who cleans up after a drunk person vomits all over a roomette?

Who cleans up after a person gets sick after eating the new flex-dining meal?

I don't know about Amtrak, but at the hotel I work for if you get plastered and mess up the room, you're going to get a bill. We had one lady who left the water running in the bathtub all night and flooded four rooms....

On the other hand, someone who is genuinely ill and has an accident; well, that comes with the territory. But our housekeepers do appreciate tips.

It sounds like she might have travelled earlier if she could have, but was panicking and improvising at the last minute. Glad it all turned out well -- and the kid will have a great story about her middle name.

Yeah! She'll be able to say she was born on the now-gone long distance passenger service that congress, the administration and the management all helped eliminate and before it was renamed NEtrak,

They would normally close off the room for future use in these circumstances, which means downgrades. That also gets under the skin of the next group of riders.

You know, March isn't the busiest time of year for business on the Zephyr. I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't empty rooms available for the person who had booked that particular room. Not to mention rooms in the transdorm. Sure, it's possible, but things do happen when you travel. Why the immediate assumption that Amtrak is out to do whatever it takes to screw over passengers?
