点评:Great scenery. Pleasant train. We travelled in first class. Comfy seats, but the carriage was incredibly hot until cloud cover helped cool things down. Effective air con would have helped as it was very uncomfortable.
The train is trying to be a high-class experience, but we felt it didn't quite cut it. You ended up expecting more than it actually delivered, and this began to distract from the main attraction - the scenery. We did the Bernina Express the next day and far preferred it. Better scenery. Less pretentious. More stunning train track.
The food on board the Glacier Express was bland, small portions and generally underwhelming. We booked the 3 course lunch menu, as that was all that was offered when booking online. No choice at all on board. You get what you get. You can order from the a la carte, but we didn't know this until we were on board. Not that that was much better. You are offered a drink before the meal at extra cost. You can't order a drink during the meal, though, whi h was frustrating. The meal takes a long time to reach you, and the initial luke warm drink was long gone by the time the main course arrived. No chance of a new glass of wine to go with the chicken fricassee... The cake at the end was nice, and the additional cost coffee was good. But we ended up feeling let down by thus and wishing we'd brought our own sandwiches from the excellent cafe/ deli at Brig Station instead. We really didn't want to be thinking about any of this when the beautiful views were what we'd come to see.
Maybe do your own thing and get a normal train? IMO not worth the extra money...
翻译:风景优美。火车很舒适。我们乘坐的是头等舱。座位很舒服,但车厢里非常热,直到云层帮助降温。有效的空调会有所帮助,因为非常不舒服。
这列火车试图成为一种高级体验,但我们觉得它并没有达到预期的效果。你最终期待的比它实际提供的更多,这开始分散你对主要景点——风景的注意力。第二天我们乘坐了伯尔尼纳快车,更喜欢它。风景更好。不那么装腔作势。更令人惊叹的火车轨道。
冰川快车上的食物味道清淡,份量小,总体上令人失望。我们预订了三道菜的午餐菜单,因为在线预订时只提供这些。车上根本没有选择。你得到你得到的东西。你可以从点菜中点菜,但我们直到上车才知道这一点。并不是说那好多少。在用餐前,你可以额外付费喝一杯饮料。不过,你不能在用餐期间点饮料,这很令人沮丧。餐点需要很长时间才能送到,主菜上来时,最初的温热饮料早已消失。没有机会再配上一杯新酒来搭配鸡肉炖肉……最后的蛋糕很好吃,额外收费的咖啡也不错。但我们最终对此感到失望,并希望我们能从 Brig 车站的优质咖啡馆/熟食店带上自己的三明治。当我们来看美丽的景色时,我们真的不想考虑这些。
也许你可以自己做点什么,坐普通火车?在我看来,不值得多花钱……
