So the original story last month was that people in the sleepers would only get 2 bottles of water per person for the entire trip. In order to save mega bucks the official policy is 2 bottles per room per trip (equals 1 bottle per person if two people are in the room).
I just got on the SWC in Chicago and was talking with the attendant when she got her water delivery of 72 bottles. There will not be any additional bottled water delivered along the route. She told me that each of her 30 rooms will only get 2 bottles for the 3 day trip with the 12 extras used when someone gets off along the route and a new person occupies the room. Yes there is a limited emergency stash in the lounge car that can be tapped, but management is counting bottles and matching that up with rider count. :blink:
