I took the Cardinal from Chicago to Charlottesville, Va., in December and experienced the "Contemporary Dining" meal service.
What a bunch of bogus corporate greenwashing. You sit there with a table full of plastic trash at the end of your meal, and on top of it is a card (more trash) that proclaims "Eco-Friendly. A Sustainable Choice."
All because the spoon and fork were made from wood, not plastic. But believe me, you'll have a lapful of plastic. And some kind of fake-cloth bag to put it in.
While the beef ribs for dinner were not too bad, as someone earlier mentioned, the breakfast was so heavily sugared that it must violate every dietary guideline out there. I would much rather have eggs and grits, etc.
Real food, in other words.
