Viewliners. Single level equipment is the entire point. The Cap is/was Superlinersthe Star is single-level (and must be to use the Hudson River and East River tunnels in New York.) By truncating the Star at DC and combining it with the Cap thereeither single-level (Viewliners and Amfleets) or bi-level (Superliners) would workbut they need more Superliners for the western trains and there is a slight surplus of single level equipment at the moment. That is part of the reason for combining the trains: the Cap Limited Superliners can go to the western routes which need them badly. (The other part of the reasonthe one emphasized by Amtrakis that the Star will no longer need to use the East River tunnels to turn in New York. One of the four East River tunnels will be closed for several years as they get rebuilt one at timea process that is just about to start.)
All the sleepers have toilets in the Bedrooms and H Rooms. Viewliner 1 Roomettes have toilets. Viewliner 2 and Superliner Roomettes do not have toilets and use shared toilets down the hall. They will use an unpredictable assortment of Viewliner 1 and 2 on the Floridianso the answer to your question is unknowable. Once the train starts runningpeople here will almost certainly post about the actual consistsand maybe a pattern will emergemaybe notand any such pattern will almost certainly change without warning as equipment is substituted due to breakdowns or for scheduled maintenance.

Try again with the answer.
Viewlinerbedrooms have toilets and shower. If in a VI roomette it has a toilet. If in a VII roomette no toilet.

The Floridian is going to be a single level train so its consist will be Amfleet 2’s and Viewliners. If you get a Viewliner 1 your room will have a toiletif you get a Viewliner 2 roomettes won’t have a toiletbedrooms and the H room will.
Single levelAmfleet IIs and Viewliners
Whether Viewliner Is (with roomette toilets) or Viewliner IIs (no roomette toilets) is unknown. Perhaps one I and one IIbased on the information in the reservations system there will be two Viewlinersat least initially. It will probably be the same as what the Star is now.

They will scrape up a 5th Silver Star set somehowand divert it from New York to Chicago.
