The #1 question we get is: 'Is the upgrade worth it?
GoldLeaf Service: Features bi-level glass-dome coaches. You sit up top for 360-degree views and dine downstairs in a white-tablecloth restaurant. It also features an exclusive outdoor viewing platform. SilverLeaf Service: A single-level dome coach where delicious hot meals are served at your seat. It offers incredible views and excellent service at a more accessible price point.
