    Tips for sleeping well on Amtrak

    I’m deaf as well, so I was just about to point that out. 🧏🏼‍♀️

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I’ll be polite and greet my fellow diners….but outside of that, I’m going to excuse myself and go back to my book. I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just introverted like that. 🙂

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I’m sorry but I respectfully disagree with you. If I want to hide behind my device instead of feeling obligated to talk to strangers that I happen to be seated with, I don’t see anything wrong with that. 😶

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    This was my breakfast yesterday morning…rubbery French toast with very undercooked bacon. I only took a couple of bites and just ended up throwing it away. I can’t believe Amtrak deems this acceptable for first class service.

    You eat in your room? Why?

    Exactly! I’m not trying to come off as unfriendly, it just takes me a long time to warm up to people.

    You eat in your room? Why?

    I am also deaf so this has been my experience as well. I usually go to the dining car, but I’m not always comfortable with the communal seating as I’m very much of an introvert.

    Covid Mask Mandate for Transportation

    YES!! Not only are my HA’s constantly tangled up in my mask straps, but the constant struggle of not being able to lip read and read facial expressions which is crucial for communication especially with those who don’t or can’t sign.

    Covid Mask Mandate for Transportation

    While I completely agree with you on that point, I’m also deaf and mask mandates have made my life more difficult and even though I’ll continue to wear one publicly (even though I’m fully vaccinated ) I really wish I didn’t have to, especially on a long distance trip. 😊

    Is "socially distant" seating no longer used?

    Pre-pandemic, I had no issues booking two seats for myself and did so regularly.

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    Nope, I’ve been this way as long as I can remember. My last airplane ride ended with me in a complete panic, unable to leave my seat-even to go to the bathroom. I haven’t travelled on an airline since. ☹️

    Amtrak dining and cafe service

    I’m terrified of heights so any aspect of flying for me is stressful, regardless of seat class. 😳

    Business class on the Illini/Saluki is a ripoff

    I took BC on the Starlight to Seattle, I got neither leather seating nor the coupon. I did however get access to the Parlour car for what ended up being the first and last time experiencing it. I haven’t taken BC since because honestly what am I paying the extra for?

    21 TE issue last night?

    I didn’t know that, thanks for the clarification. 🙂

    21 TE issue last night?

    Coach passengers never had their meals included in their farės, only sleepers. 🙂

    Inconsistent Service: A bigger problem than the food?

    Heather is a gem; so are Paul, George, Lori and Sarah. 🙂

    Does the Crescent stop in Mobile, Alabama?

    Actually it’s closer to 2.5 hours. 🙂

    Who travels in the Sleeper Cars?

    I’m an Amtrak regular (or was pre-Covid) mainly because flying absolutely terrifies me but I also do appreciate seeing scenery and new places that I wouldn’t see otherwise. My Amtrak preference would always be a roomette because I’m very introverted and the thought of having a stranger seated...
