[QUOTE]Originally posted by TwinStarRocket: [QB] When one pays considerably more for a private room and meals and access to a shower for two days, and receives neither for one day, does that not entitle one to a partial refund. Our provided food was a small dish of tootsie rolls on the bus dashboard that no one touched. Lunch was a 30 minute stop at Subway for which we were required to pay. Amtrak told me no paid lunch. If the announcement of busing were made while we were in the shower we might have missed the bus. We were told by Amtrak the connection would be made during all but the last 20 minutes of our ride and we were making up time. I am willing to concede that the first night spent mostly on a Sacramento depot bench instead of a roomette was not a reason to complain. I also totally agree I am not guaranteed scenery and that late trains are par for the course. What I think I WAS entitled to was a reasonable amount of time on the Coast Starlight, timely and truthful information from Amtrak about my connection, and a certain amount of flexibility to accommodate me in a roomette instead of a bus when there are plenty of empty ones. The PDX section of the builder has one sleeper. They are often full. The SEA portion has 2 sleepers with plenty of room on any day I wanted to travel. By putting me on a SEA sleeper they are quite possibly freeing up revenue space to paying customers. There is just no business logic in requiring me to rely on a one hour connection. It would be more satisfying to me to get them to change this rule than to receive any compensation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
