Hello all!
I'm taking my first trip in a viewliner on the way down to Miami from PHL. I have a few questions as my only experience in a roomette thus far an overnight Superliner from PGH to CHI.
1. Can I ask the attendant to make up the upper bunk for me instead of the lower bunk? Is the upper bunk comfortable or is it smaller? And is it worthwhile to do this? I know it has a window but just not sure if it's worth it.
2. Are the showers available just like that? I just take my stuff and walk down and if it's open I just use it?
3. Are the Silver Meteor's hours for the dining car the same as the website says for the general hours, i.e 6:30-11 breakfast, 11:30-3 lunch and 5-9:30 dinner?
If anybody has any other tips about my travel in the roomette in the viewliner, let me know. Some of you may know me from my trip reports in Europe, I'm used to sleepers there, not much here, although I do have an experience with a 10 hour trip between PGH and CHI so not a total Amtrak noob
