[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Ms. Kendall, I totally concur with Ms. McFarland as cruise lines have little empathy for their passengers who do not use their 'approved" transportation to the port - that in 99.44% of the cases, means air. The Sunset Limited is likely the most unreliable train on the system. For a thumbnail report on its performance go to [URL=http://www.amtrakdelays.com]www.amtrakdelays.com[/URL] query #1 @ LAX, and see what you see. Presuming your sailing is in the 4PM range, my best advice if you can accept a longer rail journey would be to make your way to Chicago and use Amtrak's #3 Southwest Chief for a journey to LA. It arrives LA early in the AM, and if late, you have a "backstop" in transferring to a Surfliner train to SD at Fullerton. For all intent and purpose for a discretionary trip, don't even THINK of traveling Coach. Yes, I know we have a member here who went out of his way to note how traveling Sleeper is 'so Bourgeois', but he is a young fellow and by his own statement a[URL=http://www.railforum.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/11/5127.html] Marxist[/URL] - need more be said? Further, if there are two in your party, you had best think Bedroom and not Roomette, as the latter is simply a single adult accommodation that (wisely I think) has two bunks. Otherwise enjoy yourself on the Love Tub. If you want more info regarding to what extent a cruise is "all inclusive" nowadays (I have learned nowadays anything at the bar is "rip off" and the "hard sell' for 'ShoreEx" excursion products starts the moment you sail - but then, my last was twenty years ago) check out this site. http://www.cruisereviews.com [/QB][/QUOTE]
