We are planning on traveling from Boston to DC. Acela has a good fare in BC, or we are thinking of the overnight on #67 with a bedroom (we have to overnight in BOS prior to departure, so this would be a timesaver option). My questions are: IF we buy the BC on Acela with a refund option, and...

Have traveled on the Acela many times in BC, BOS too NYC. In Feb, will be in FC for the first time. We have made use of the new seat assignments, which is a nice feature. Any tips or tricks I should be aware of? It's a very early morning departure, so I presume breakfast will be served...

Let me start by saying that I know nothing is certain for this storm. I am just trying to decide on a back-up plan for a booked flight from Bos to Mia. IF Irma tracks towards the Carolinas, would Amtrak still operate the Silver Meteor? Or do they cancel service with heavy winds/rain (assuming...

We are traveling on the Downeatster, from Maine to Baltimore. We just received a schedule change in times and our connection in Boston (from North Station to Back Bay) is now down to 30 mins. If everything goes smoothly, I think we can grab a cab and make it. However, I think we should try to...

We will be booking our first bedroom on the SM (usually travel in Roomette) from MIA to BOS. Is there a way to tell or request that we have a bedroom with the sofa facing in the direction that the train is traveling? Or is it completely random on how the car will be set up on the day of...

We will be traveling next year from MIA to BOS. We have enough points for a Roomette, which is what we usually travel in. However, we would love to try a Bedroom (which we can never afford at cost). We would need to buy about 8,000 points, which we could do during the current 30% promo. My...

Case in point: currently on the Meteor, set to get off in WAS then change to train 176 from Was to Bos. (FTL-WAS-BOS). The WAS 176 train will also stop in NYC. Our SCA suggeated we stay on with him to NYC since the room will be empty. Problem-we are traveling in AGR points, hence the funky WAS...

I booked an AGR oneway trip on the Silver Meteor in a roomette, from FLL to SAO. The connection booked is in WAS, with a 5 hour layover. They have us changing to a NER from WAS to BOS, then the connection to the Downeaster. I called them back to see if we could keep our roomette until NYP...

We are booked on a cruise that leaves from Cape Liberty, NJ. We would like to take the train from Maine and overnight before we depart for our sailing (which gives us a buffer, should we encounter issues/delays). My problem is that I can't figure out where to take Amtrak to. Newark Airport, and...

Two quick questions: at South Station, if we have Biz class on the NER connecting that day to a roomette on the Crescent, do we have Lounge access in Bos? Also are there any stores inside Penn Station that would sell alcohol (specifically beer)?? We would like to buy some for our roomette but...

I have decided I want to upgrade to BC on 1 segment of our trip (NYP to BOS)-however, when I called I was told that in order to "change" our tickets for the upgrade, the entire rez would have to be re-booked. Is this true? Should I call again and speak to a different agent? I know that the...

We have a trip planned for December. I figured we were going to check our bag and never thought twice about it....until now. We are traveling from BOS to NYP on the NER-no problem since we can't check anything until we get to NYP to connect to the Crescent. We have a roomette. Here's the...

My friend and I will be traveling BOSNOLBOS in December. It's our first LD Amtrak experience. We've traveled throughout Europe on the train and take the Downeaster quite often. We are very excited about this "adventure" and have a roomette reserved for the Crescent. room 1, and room 2. Any...
