Via Rail Cabin For 2 Room Tour on the Canadian | One of Our Favorite Train Sleeper Cars

all right guys we are on the Canadian and we are in a cabin for two I'm gonna give you guys a tour of the room [Music] all right so we are moving along here one of the reasons why I'm hanging onto the wall so I don't I don't fall over but we are in this cabin for two and it is really quite nice very spacious um and the layout of it is really good and it does have uh one feature that I do love in particular because if you've followed our videos you know that I generally have to be sitting in the direction of travel so we are traveling this way that's the front of the train but as you can see these seats are not sitting in that direction but have no fear because check this out I can very easily move the seat have a seat right here and now I'm facing the direction of travel easy breezy so both seats move and they're actually going to go underneath the bed which is going to pop out of here and that one's going to drop but we'll show you that later so let me put this back so I can show you the rest of the room so plenty of space here as you can see not only do we have the two seats but we also are storing our backpacks here we haven't put them up ahead up above yet but there is storage space up here and it does go back now we did check our two big bags because they told us they would not fit in the room so I am glad that they said that to us because otherwise we'd be tripping over them here in the room so we don't have to do that we also get a bag with our towels for the shower and we also get a shampoo Panda soap that we can use in the shower we each have a bag of towels like this so there's two bags up here one for each of us which is great and as you'll note there is a sink in here so you just flip this and this is great right here a little sink and then you've got soap and you've even got a little bit of lotion right here one of the great things here is you the tap water right here fill up your bottle or fill up one of these cups that they give you right here and that's fantastic that you have drinking water right here in your room I do love the mirrors here and it does have a switch where it turns on and off so you don't have to have this light on all the time and there is a little storage cubby up here as well a couple more cups in there for you another great thing is that there's a toilet in here so we may not have a shower but we do have our very own toilet in here it's great because there's plenty of room give you an extra roll of toilet paper and somewhere to hang hand towels for use at the sink so that's fantastic there as well there are tons of coat hooks like all over because of course we're in Canada and it is winter so we do have plenty of coats jackets you know gloves hats all kinds of stuff and let's take a look at this area over here now okay so as far as I've seen these are the only two outlets in the room and they're right here by the sink so that's going to be good to have here and then you see the switch here for the fan there is a fan right here look at that isn't that amazing so you can have that fan this is going to be great for Rob at night up there if he gets a little bit toasty with the heat on because like I said again it is winter so they're gonna have the heat on and you can have this fan on to kind of you know air that area up up there because otherwise it's going to be a little bit toasty for him and then another coat hook here a little cup dispenser here but they don't have the cups in here they do have them at the sink and over there and then here you have several different buttons you have one for the bathroom which it says Annex light and I found out the hard way when Rob went in to use the restroom I flipped the switch and turned the light off on him by mistake in there this one is the mirror light that I showed you earlier for the mirror here and then this one is the overhead light in the room you also do have an attendant button to call your attendant ours happens to be just two doors down from us so that's very helpful if we have an emergency in the middle of the night um let's see what else we've got we've got another coat hook here which Rob can use when the big bed is down from up above he's going to be able to use that to hang something if he needs to and then back here I'm going to take you into this little corner we've got a little Locker here stick something in there you've also got this ventilation switch here so you can close the vents up above you can close those or open them and then you just do that with this button here you just turn it all the way to open all the way to close it's really hard to turn I found so if you really have to make an effort to Really Turn it when you're doing that and then there's a little closet area here it's a fairly narrow narrow space but it does have some hangers in here and then you found a little trash can right here I also love that there is a full length mirror here right there on the back of the door and look at this little magazine rack where you can put things in there in here we've got I have a little grout guide that they give you and it just just shows you where we're going and then this other one has it's a guest directory and it kind of gives you information about all the different cars that are available to you and what you can do on and off the train if the you'll be able to make phone calls about internet access personal devices baggage all that kind of stuff station stops so everything is right in here but if you have any questions of course your room attendant is going to help you with those we have a very nice room attendant her name is Janet and she's been down here quite a bit I do like this that when you're not using the sink you can have this little thing flipped up or down to use the seat although I don't care for that sound sorry if I startled anybody listening to this video on your headphones then we've got a little dispenser of tissue right here so we need that in the night below your nose or whatever and you're all set with that so all in all this room really does have a great layout from walking in through the door here we're in room a so we're on the very end right before a different set of the upper lower births come right after our room so we're in room a and this is the setup here I'll give you a quick look around what that looks like and like I said we'll be able to store backpacks up in this little cubby here especially robs but I'm going to add on what it looks like after dinner when Janet comes back and does our room all right as promised we are back in the room and it is now set up for bedtime so you saw the daytime now here we are ready for bed and I gotta tell you when I walked in here super excited about what this looks like so check this out guys we've got the full bed here and this is about the size of a of a twin an actual twin size bed it feels like to me it's a very good size and you've got a sheet and a comforter or maybe it's a duvet no that's a comforter right there so that looks nice I love the fact that we get two pillows which is amazing and then I also get this little storage basket here which will be perfect for putting my glasses and putting my phone and all that kind of good stuff anything I want to stick in there and then also have a light here so I can use that for sitting up at night or if I need to see anything and it has a switch that goes off and then there is an attendant button right there but I don't think I'm gonna need that in the night but it is there in the event of an emergency so very nice size space here look at all that there's even Rob's backpack sitting back there which he's actually going to put up above in the storage area but this is really quite nice um quite a lot of space so here's the stairs and here is Rob and he is going to give you a tour of his beautiful Penthouse accommodations yes let me show you what it looks like from down here first and it's pretty spacious so this is the ladder I'm gonna climb up that it's pretty tall and narrow but it looks like it'll be no problem so I I definitely have a feeling that this is going to be harder to come down than it is to go up I think going up is going to be pretty easy yeah it's no problem yep easy peasy and the steps are like uh non-slip so this is like coarse what's on here so that's good if you're going down in your socks you're not going to fall yeah and the great thing that I'm noticing right away up here is that my head doesn't touch the ceiling and that is just a wonderful blessing also this bed is very wide uh so I could turn all the way around most trains once you're in if you go in head first repeat first you have to stay that way on this upper berth on this train you can spin around you can have a dance party up here you've got room for everything I have a light right here I have two pouches I think that's good for my glasses on my cell phone and attend that call Button if I mean it and a little hook to hang things on and then also a little tray over here although that concerns me it doesn't look super sturdy so I'm not going to put a nice fan on I'm not going to put anything valuable there yeah and I have this fan right here so I have to say that this is probably the roomiest upper birth uh sleeper bed that I've ever had and it feels really comfortable too so this is impressive the Canadian train and all facets has has been impressive and loving it so far hopefully we sleep well tonight but this is going to be a great cabin I think upon further inspection I've looked at my little netting here and I see that this part of it has just been tied together by hand so I'm not sure how sturdy that is tune in tomorrow let's hope that doesn't get put to the test tonight um but that's going to be it for this room tour hope you liked the video if you did please uh give us a like subscribe to the channel and we will see you on
