Thanks for the reply with your plan, Thom.

We will likely book the Amtrak too, and like you will allow a couple of days of cushion in case there is some snafu with the train's scheduled arrival in LA. Good luck and have a great trip!

We are also thinking of taking Amtrak to LA from Kansas City. Our cruise is January 2019, and we'd actually have to board the train on either Dec 31 or Jan 1. If you have the opportunity to post a followup, cmdchiefthom, I am eager to learn what you decide to do and the outcome.

We also currently live in landlocked Missouri, in a very small town with few dining choices. So one of the best parts of being on a cruise for us is the interesting and different items available to eat! Of course, any kind of seafood is high on our list, but we also enjoy chilled soups, exotic fruits, and just generally any foods we can't get at home.
