Forgot to mention tipping:

Cabin attendent: $5 or $10 at the end of the trip, depending on the service.

If service is more than average, $5.00 per person, per day on a long haul route is not a bad guide. On my most recent trip, Portland-Chicago on the Empire Builder, the attendant was not the friendliest, but he kept the sodas & coffee stocked, made the room up punctually & gave us a couple of small bottles of wine at the end of the trip. $20.00 seemed more than reasonable.
