Does anyone know how travel insurance will work for this? We are booked on Amtrak at 215pm and will be missing the train and Saturdays is sold out so it looks like Sunday will be my first opportunity to get the train and we will have to stay in new York two night then. 

Did you buy the add-on Amtrak ticket insurance?

Has anybody used this service and how much does it cost?

 

I used White Star Service for my large bag from NY to MD because I was making a train connection at Penn Station, difficult at best. We arrived 12/22 and the luggage was at my door 12/27. Cost discounted about $70 for the one bag.

As of Wednesday morning Oct 18th, this sale/promotion of a reduced single supplement ended and the supplement is back up to 100%.

The best I could get was a 100% surcharge about three weeks ago. Used to sail the winter crossing with the QE2,so this is my first with QM2.

I wondered what became of Tom Winkowski. I worked for him in the 90's when he was the assistant DD in LA for what was then called U.S Customs Service.

Mr.W is now in charge of ICE...

I haven't sailed Cunard since QE2 left the fleet, mainly because the architect did not include any solo cabins in QM2 and QV. We always had the most pleasant and interesting passengers. I must admit, it does help to orchestrate a table in advance of the sailing with people you already know, because it is possible to have a dull table even amid a table of 8. I did sail a segment of the World Cruise thru the Panama Canal and met lots of singles playing the trivia team games. Unfortunately, my teammates were continuing around the world, while I was not.
