[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] The problem with a long-distance train is that there are too many variables as the train travels across the country. For reasons that have nothing to do with Amtrak (such as the freight train hitting a trespasser), a long-distance train can be very late. Because of this, when you spend big bucks on a cruise and you MUST be at a specific place at a specific time, it could be disastrous if you are relying on a long-distance train getting you somewhere. If someone wants to gamble with several thousand of their personal dollars, taking at least a week off from work (for the cruise), and all of the prep work involved in taking a cruise (passport, medical, house-sitter, and so on), then that's their own choice---but a very foolish one. The best bet if you plan on taking a long-distance train is NOT to have a same-day connection, no matter how good a certain train has been doing in recent weeks or months. Things happen on the railroad, some things in Amtrak's control and some things not in their control---but they do happen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
