boarding nighttrain and ferry

We are a group of 4, tickets booked together, now one is ill and can't travel with us. Will it be a problem when we will use the ticket to the nighttrain where we have a cabin, and the greek ferry where we also have a cabin? We can't change the reservation, we paid for it already, and are not trying to get a refund. But I seem to remember I read somewhere, that all names on the ticket needs to check in.. but I simply can't find the answer anywhere. And the companies didn't help. Perhaps someone tried something similar?

Frustration With Supplement

I have been in Europe for about 4 weeks now - and I have 1 more week before I go back to the USA.I have the Eurail pass - good for 7 trips in 30 days.  It works perfect for me.  My issue is around the supplements charged for most of my routes.  I don’t mind paying these supplements but I cannot do it online.  I have to go to a specific train station in my specific city to talk to someone about paying for my supplement.  Sometimes the lines are over 1 hour long.My biggest issue was - my train from Prague to Florence.  I had to change trains in Munich.  I was given 30 minutes to change trains, so I thought that was good.  The train from Prague to Munich was 45 minutes late arriving.  I have already paid my supplement from Munich to Florence, but I missed the connection because the train was late.  I then had to sit in a line for 1 ½ hours to get this fixed.  When it was finally fixed, my next train left in 4 minutes.  I made it, but just barely.It would be nice to be able to pay for supp

Hi, I'm trying to use the getyourguide link to buy tours but get a message saying I need a valid pass. But I have a valid pass and have loaded it so don't know why I can't use this link/code. Also I've already used it a few days ago.

Website for train composition

I’ve seen it but can’t find it now. Looking for a website that has the makeup and loads of specific German trains (IC/ICE). It lists the number of cars (wagens) and seating arrangements, seating plan as well as loads I think. Or perhaps it lists the number of total seats. Thank you.

current 20% offer, exclusions

Could someone explain the exclusions in this offer, if we can't travel through France and Germany it doesn't seem that useful especially in the UK. Please tell me I've got this wrong. Not valid for Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany (both Eurail & Interrail). Not valid for Interrail Switzerland, Eurail Scandinavia, Eurail France (1, 2, 7 days).

Can I use my Eurail for Stansted Express?

Hello,I was wondering if anyone has had any luck booking a seat reservation for the Stansted Express from London Liverpool Street station. It is listed below, but I cannot seem to find anywhere that I can book a reservation and nothing on the website about the Eurail Pass (says no railpasses allowed). The reservation website comes back with an error, but I have managed to save the trip in my Rail Planner App. This will be our first trip once we have activated our passes so I have no idea if it will actually turn into a valid ticket???

PASS Invalid???

Folks I have a dilemma..... So we have interrail passes, not activated yet.... Each time I try to link to my acc it tells me the surname or pass number are invalid, when are actually not.... My daughter pass was bought same time and bought together, hers works fine for reservation.... It has now come to point that she has to try do my reservation via her account on her phone....and it works, but it won't let me use it myself.... Has anyone else had this issue and would you know how we can solve it, as we leave mid July, if info helps mine is adult 3 Mt, hers is youth 17 and 2 Mt one... PS... I can do her reservations via my acc too, just not my own... TIA

Validity of swiss same train day pass

Hello I have a rather simple question for the comunity please.   This concerns using my eurail pass on swiss trains. I haven’t activated nor used my global eurail pass yet, and wish to know when I book a particular train time if I am committed to travel on that actual train, or, if I can travel on any train that same day?   I see from the sbb app that if I pay for a journey with a credit card, the ticket is valid on any train on the same route until 0500 the following day. What I need to know if this Is rule also applys when using my global eurail pass? Thank you,   bodetteplant
