Thanks, I tried the “modify details” option and looked at the “transfer time” part, changing it from “normal” to 15 minutes and, you’re right. There, just as you said, was the 12:12 departure with the longer 20 min transfer at Friedrichshafen. This was on bahn.de and doesn’t appear to be an option on trip.com.
MrLap is content with the lunch time transfer at Lindau-Reutin (and that it is just one change) but this is good information to know for the next time. He’s also feeling much more relaxed about the consequences of not making the designated train TO Ravensburg after the ferry trip. This has been an illuminating thread.
