Three Adults into a Bedroom for a Daytime Trip

[swc34]

Hello,

I believe I have previously saw persons booking three adults into a bedroom for a daytime trip but when I called the agent insisted only two adults are allowed in a bedroom, period. Has this changed? Has anyone had luck doing this?

If this is possible, call Amtrak Guest Rewards. They have the most knowledgeable agents.

It's still on the Amtrak website: Option for third adult in a bedroom.

You may need a member number to call Guest Rewards. If you're not a member, sign up on the website; it doesn't cost anything.

Call again your agent was ill informed. You can escalate the situation to a supervisor if needed.

As far as I recall it would be permissible for 3 adults in either berth or non berth service. Roomette would be a no go. You need a different agent or a supervisor.

Does the third person qualify for diner meals?

I don't see anything that says otherwise.

The 2 times I booked an "Open Sleeper" ticket as the 3rd Person in a Bedroom( paying the Rail Fare)I was allowed to eat Meals in the Diner.

This was between Austin and Dallas so included Breakfast and Lunch, and San Antonio and Longview,so also included Dinner.

Does the third person qualify for diner meals?

Yes, as long as the third person is officially booked into the room, not added unofficially on a coach ticket and just hanging out in there.

Just for fun I checked a trip from Jax to Mia for 3 adults using Amtrak website ...

The Silver Meteor was offered with departure at 9:49 AM and arriving in Miami at 7 PM for $1845



Of course, I did not actually book it

I just ran it. That's for three people in two Bedrooms, not three people in one Bedroom.


You can only book the "recommended" capacity, two persons per room, on the website. To book maximum capacity, three persons, you must speak to a (competent) agent. I understand that this is because they want an agent to explain the conditions with three in a room.

BTW, on the date I chose, 9/26, three in a Bedroom would be $1010, $695 accommodation charge plus three $115 sleeper rail fares. Adding another bedroom causes a bucket jump to a $750 accommodation charge. So $750 x 2 = $1500 in accommodation charges plus $115 x 3 = $345 in rail fare for the $1845 total.
