Six of us will be taking the Empire Builder from St. Paul to Seattle (and back) over the Memorial Day weekend. Four of us have procured sleeping accommodations (two roomettes), while the remaining two will simply sleep in their coach seats. We have several questions regarding train etiquette and what to expect on board:
Thanks!
- Who do we tip? When, how much and how often?
- For those of us with sleeping accommodations, we understand meals are included. What, exactly, does this include and how does it work?
- Again, for those of us with sleeping accommodations, we understand certain hotel-like amenities are also included. What, exactly, would those be? We're specifically looking for what items related to showering might be included (towels, shampoo, etc.) so we know what we need to bring.
- Speaking of showers, what sorts of etiquette should be aware of relating to using these facilities?
- Will our luggage be stored on board and be accessible during the trip?
- We're traveling to Seattle to attend a gaming convention and hope to be able to play some games both on our trip out and our return trip. We understand there are tables in the lounge that would accommodate this. Is that true? Is there any sort of etiquette we should be aware of related to using these tables in the lounge?
Thanks!
