[QUOTE]Originally posted by Judy: [QB] The stairway is narrow, but it's only about 9 steps (3 groups of 3). If someone can do limited stairs, they should go for a room on the upper level and stay there for the duration since access to the diner and the lounge cars are on the second level. If you can't do stairs at all, opt for the room on the lower level and arrange with the attendant to bring your meals to your room. As for tipping - in the diner I tip about like I would in a restaurant. For the sleeper, since the same attendant is there for the whole trip I usually give him (her)the tip shortly before reaching my station to get off - Chicago to Seattle I would tip maybe $15 plus or minus $5 depending on services rendered. If he brought meals to my room, I'd tip more. If your service is poor either in the diner or the sleeper, let your tip reflect that. BTW on my recent trip, the sleeper attendants had coffee brewing and apples, cookies, chocolates, soda, and ice available on the upper level most of the time - a really nice perk for travelers. And one thing I brought as an afterthought which turned out to be a good idea - a little bottle of that hand sanitizer stuff. By the time you've walked from your room to the diner you've probably touched a lot of questionable stuff! [/QB][/QUOTE]
