Amtrak Crescent

Pros: I liked the ability to get up whenever and use the bathroom at my convenience. The cafe cart served me efficiently and kindly. I liked how the employees helped you get to the correct destination. Cons: What could be improved is better communication on where to get onto the train so there isn't a build up in one spot and having the stress of finding a seat. Tips: Make sure to visit the cafe cart.
