Leaving for Poland in one month. Am using the trains to go from Warsaw to Gdansk to Krakow to Wroclaw and back to Warsaw. Bought 2 EuRail flex 1st class rail passes. Getting a bit nervous about having a seat on the trains that I want to go on, namely early morning trains. Cannot navigate the DB Bahn site nor the Polish train site to make the reservations. Am I taking a chance in not making reservation? My wife would sleep better if I could make the reservations. Thanks for any help.

Passholder reservations for the faster trains are free and can only be made in Polish train stations. You can make them when you first have the pass activated, for instance. I wouldn't worry about space availability with the fairly frequent service schedule, and since first class is not usually the most popular. Your last two legs are by InterCity trains that DB doesn't show as requiring reservations.
