I would prefer a room on the upper level. The track level is more noisy, and not as nice a view. But you really should spend the day in the Sightseer Lounge to best enjoy the scenery.
No worries. As I mentioned before I'd prefer the lowel level with the hope that the track noise might drown out some of my snoring. Once I've lost another 100 pounds or so I'll reward myself with an upper level roomette.
I just remembered a few more quick questions and figured I'd continue here rather than post a new thread.
1. Is there a weight limit for the upper bunk? I've read that some single travellers leave the upper bunk made up and the lower bunk set up as seats which I'd like to do, but that will only work if the upper bunk can support me.
2. I noticed in the lower level there's a spot called "Baggage". Is this a secure place to leave my carry-ons while dining or sitting in the Sightseer Lounge?
3. Is a well-sealed cardboard box acceptable as luggage? The website just says sturdy containers and nothing soft-sided like a plastic Rubbermaid box. There would be nothing terribly fragile in the box, mainly linens and a few kitchen items.
Thanks again!
