Same train # my experience was on. That train leaves Tampa at 12:45 PM, in the middle of lunch. How you explain first class doesn't get lunch at 12:45 PM is beyond me. I've traveled TPA-MIA in a sleeper and been served lunch with no question on several occasions.
I've PM'd Dan to see if it was the same LSA and will post those results...
