Plane v. Amtrak
I can understand traveling Amtrak if the journey is just as, or more important than the destination. We will experience both next week as the destination becomes important getting to our cruise departure city. Then, the journey becomes the only important thing...the ports of call are not even secondary. And, the journey is relatively inexpensive considering costs of hotels, meals, etc. (naturally I hope there's no damn virus on the ship). But, when it comes to just the destination, all things being equal (read: weather), I will opt for that cramped coach seat on the plane.
