Amtrak Business Class Experience Falls Short for Upstate New York Traveler

Amtrak Business Class Experience Falls Short for Upstate New York Traveler

A traveler recently shared their experience of taking an Amtrak train from Rochester to New York City, opting for a business-class ticket on the return journey. The traveler found that the business-class experience did not justify the additional cost compared to a coach ticket. The business-class car on the Maple Leaf train, which travels from Toronto to New York, features limited seating with only six rows. Despite the expectation of a more comfortable ride, the traveler noted that the perks were insufficient, and the seating arrangement was not ideal, particularly as the accessible seat lacked a footrest and traditional tray table. The train was delayed by an hour, adding to the traveler's dissatisfaction. Ultimately, the traveler concluded that coach class offered better value for the trip.

Santorini's Karavolades Stairs Closure Alters Cruise Operations

Santorini's Karavolades Stairs Closure Alters Cruise Operations

The Karavolades Stairs in Santorini, Greece, which connect the old port to the town of Fira, have been closed due to the collapse of a wall from a private building. This closure significantly impacts cruise operations, as Santorini is a popular destination in the Aegean Sea. Traditionally, cruise passengers disembark at the old port and use the stairs or a cable car to reach Fira, located 250 meters above sea level. With the stairs closed, passengers will now disembark at Santorini's new port, Athinios, and be transported by tour buses. Previously, regulations limited the number of passengers using the new port to 30% per day for civil protection reasons, but these restrictions will be lifted temporarily until the stairs are reopened.
