Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I've read that RC will have "VR" shown through the windows, to give the impression that the train is moving. The first two "trips" will be the Old West and the Silk Road. Now, I'm being a bit nit-picky. In the era of the Old West, trains didn't have dining cars. Passengers got off at a station to eat in a station dining room, then got back on the train. On the Santa Fe, the station restaurants were Harvey Houses. Judy Garland's character was a Harvey House waitress in the movie musical "The Harvey Girls." But, I'm curious as to the menus. American railroad menus varied by region. Illinois Central trains out of New Orleans had a Creole menu. Union Pacific and Burlington trains eastbound out of Denver had trout on the menu. New York Central and Pennsylvania trains out of New York had Oysters Rockefeller on their menus. The Southern Railway was known for its Southern fried chicken, as well as mint julips in their club cars. So, how much research will RC do on American dining car cuisine?
  2. My wife and I booked on the Wonder yesterday for April 16th, because we decided Paris is looking a little too much like it's 1789. We could not get a first or second seating, and My Time Dining is showing first seating at 8:15 most nights, with a couple at 7:45. I'm resigning myself to eating in the Windjammer every night.
