I was getting ready to ask if there was any way to book 4 adults in a bedroom or family bedroom for a daytime trip. I then saw the post with the Amtrak Service Manual and there was the information.
This is exactly what I would like to do with 4 people in a bedroom. Has anyone every successfully done this? Would also be great if it is allowed through AGR.8. Sleeping Car – Non-Berth Servicea) For non-berth service (use seats only – no beds) in Sleeping Car accommodations, the maximum allowable number of passengers permitted to occupy the room is shown in the following chart.
• Although this situation usually occurs during daytime travel, this policy is based on the use of the accommodation – not the time of day or night.
• For example, under normal conditions three passengers can be booked in a Bedroom because the room sleeps one in the regular berth and two in the large berth. If, however, four passengers want to travel in the room and use it for seating only, three can sit on the sofa and one in the chair. Therefore, the maximum number of passengers increases from three (regular use) to four (non-berth service).
b) On-board upgrades.
• The Conductor or Assistant Conductor will show passengers the room and explain that seats only – no berths – will be used.
• A rail fare must be collected from each passenger in addition to one accommodation charge. The “not more than two child fares per adult fare” rule applies.
• Each person in the room, up to the maximum permitted, will receive complimentary meals in the Dining Car.
