No question that the food is (probably) better. No question that the accommodations are better as well.

If you've got the extra $1700 for a couple to go to NOL, and another $1700 for a ride back to Chicago (as opposed to the $1200 that Amtrak charges), go for it.

It's a question of values, of course, but at $150 per waking hour, for me, at least, it's probably not worth it. Not even for the two extra meals, and I bring my own (expensive) Scotch when I travel by train.

That's even more money than *I* make (Looking at you Bob Dylan!).
What are the two extra meals? Surely Amtrak serves lunch on the way down?
 
I didn't realize that Pullman offered berths. They should be a lot lower than $825, don't you think. Or did you mean $825 for a double bedroom?
That's one upper and one lower berth, for a couple traveling together.
