I can tell you lunch into New Orleans apparently is a crap shoot. The lounge car attendant was supprised we had a modified early lunch. Lunch was 10:30 AM first come first serve for an hour. He said most of the time there is no lunch.Bedrooms are soooo worth the price. I got to have nice little afternoon naps.
This is an ongoing problem on #2. The LA crew wants to be the first to hit the platform in NOL. IF you call LAX ticket office and ask for the On Board service manager for the Sunset you may get a positive response for those who follow behind you with either no lunch or early, early lunch. I've only been trying for 5 years to get breakfast served on #20 out of NOL. Just last month they opened while we were stopped in Picayune, Ms~ over an hour and fifteen minutes out of NOL. The Manager of On Board Services reply? "Oh, I thought they were supposed to serve once all the tickets were lifted." Apparently the NYP based diner crew added their own version~ "Once the tickets for those boarding at Picayune are lifted". If the managers don't ride enough to see these trends they will NEVER know unless someone tells them just what is taking place.Please help your fellow passengers!
