Amtrak Albany Newark recent customer reviews

I enjoyed the comfortable seats and the booking process was fairly easy. What was confusing was the transfer details. I was uncertain about how that would go. also could have used more info on baggage. I had to ask the ticket agent what the allowable size was. he said there was no checked baggage option. I was glad for my grandson accompanying me as I would have not been able to lift it over my seat. More info for seniors would be helpful.
