    AGR FNBO Credit Card discussion 2023 H2 -2024

    One thing I don’t like about this card is that they won’t allow me to make payments from 2 different banks in the same billing period.

    Amtrak Dining and Cafe service 2023 H2

    I traveled the Meteor and the Star quite often in 2012 and 2013 and I can honestly say I enjoyed every meal except one. We were very late coming into Hollywood and dinner was offered. Only chicken was available. It was terrible.

    I’m not too fond of meat. I’ll pick out a fish dish over meat most times. At the time they offered the soup, I was traveling the meteor quite often enjoying the soup each time. I would order the soup without looking at the menu. Then they changed the offerings. Imagine my disappointment when I...

    My husband once tried the meatloaf on the Meteor, and thought it was pretty good. I hate meatloaf, so I never make it at home. I miss the black bean veggie burger & the crab cake. I remember when they served soup and a salad. It may have been a shrimp, corn chowder. It had a little heat. But...

    Since traditional dining was reintroduced on the Silver Meteor, has anyone posted pictures or reviewed the meals?

    Why would the trains going west offer an appetizer and not the Silvers?

    I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt that the salmon on my Meteor trip last week was BAD. I threw it away after 3 bites. Salmon, shrimp then rice.

    I always avoided the beef because I read that it was too salty. Well, I ordered it today for lunch, and was pleasantly surprised. It was quite tasty and not salty at all. Only goes to show to take other people’s opinions with a grain of salt. No pun intended.

    I’ve seen private cars in the past at the end of the train. I think we were in Jacksonville. They wouldn’t let us close enough to take a photo. This one was up front and coach cars, 2 behind it. I’ve seen elaborate private cars on the tracks ay DC. I’ve been traveling by train since I was a...

    We’re in a bedroom on train 98. Got on today in Hollywood. Dining car was open, where as is used to open once we we pass Ft Lauderdale. This time we decided to eat breakfast in the dining car. This was table service. Served in a box. I did not expect that. Is this the way they usually do it...

    I travel the Meteor. Would love to have the new menu. My last trip was April and my next trip is early June. Before the new menu rolls out on the Meteor. I would add the cheese and bacon. I just liked the taste and texture of their veggie burger.

    I’m wondering if pre Covid suppliers and gone out of business, or is cheaper products being used. In my many, many pre Covid trips, I cant remember one bad meal. As a matter of fact, I looked forward to that 27hr trip because of their menu. I still miss their black bean (corn?) veggie burger...

    My husband keeps trying, without success, for a decent pancake. They always seem to be burnt around the edges. I also find that the broccoli served in the lunch/dinner is also over cooked and burnt with that nasty smell. No excuse

    Dining and cafe service experience abroad

    I know we’re talking about domestic transportation, but I want to add my experience on a bullet train going from Paris to Barcelona. We were a family of 4 and was able to sit together with a table between us. I never searched for a dining car, but I did purchase from the cafe car. I was...

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I travel the Silvers, mostly the Meteor. To only have the option of a heavy meal for both lunch and dinner is not for me. I would love to see a sandwich offered. My trip 2 weeks ago only had the Thai noodle available for lunch. Not for me. I tried getting the Cheerios for lunch, but sadly it...

    Coach restrooms

    We just traveled from Paris to Barcelona on a bullet train. The public bathrooms had a sanitizer dispenser and tissue sheets with instructions to use the sanitizer to wipe down the toilet seat. There was also a bathroom for moms to change their babies. I was very impressed.

    Absurd 200-foot ‘Railway’ demolished

    I usually cruise 3 times a year. Passengers getting sick and having to be transported to a foreign hospital is quite common. So there must be a loophole to allow that.
