Just went over to the VIA website today and discovered what you already discovered quite some time ago - the pictures and promo material for the new "deluxe sleeper class" on the Canadian. I think it looks glorious and heavenly. I love the look of the luxurious beds, wood paneled walls, beautiful bathroom with private shower (which I don't think is available in the "cabins for two") AND the television. I for one got a little bored in the evening when it is dark outside and there isn't much to see, so I can definitely see a use for the TV at night.
H and I have been talking about planning a trip on the Canadian, and I think we would probably spring for the deluxe class if we could afford it and depending on the price differential. I think the room service would be nice for breakfast.
