Check out our Amtrak Bedroom tour on the Texas Eagle for our Amtrak vacation to Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Los Angeles. We booked an Amtrak bedroom for our four day, three night journey. In this tour we share a tour of the daytime setup and a nighttime setup as well as the in room bathroom and shower. We hope you enjoy our trip.
This is the biggest Amtrak Sleeper Car room you can get. We loved this Superliner Bedroom and used our Amtrak Guest Rewards Points to get it booked.

Although compact & pricey, Deluxe Bedrooms offer the ultimate in comfort & privacy. I'm in my 70's & don't want to risk falling from a ladder, so I would reserve by phone adjoining bedrooms whenever travelling with my wife so that we'd both have lower bunks & his & hers lavatories. My wife is claustrophobic & feels entombed with top bunks in the down position in these cars. Happy wife, happy life.

After watching hours of your videos I decided to take the plunge and in February booked a bedroom on the California zephyr. It was fantastic. Small issues with the room in that it was an older car, the speaker didn’t work, the chair was kind of tattered but the rest of the trip more than made up for those shortcomings. Most of the staff (most) was really great, the food was terrific, I ate in my bedroom the whole time. I was prepared for a delayed arrival but actually got into Sacramento a few minutes early. The winter views of the Rockies were really great. I’m looking forward to doing another train ride soon.

The bedroom you're showing is an older Superliner, they have the metal sink and push paddle type water controls (off or splash). The newer Superliners have bit different sink and shower arrangement, the coach choice is Amtrak's and 'pot luck' so far as what you will be assigned. Generally the Southwest Chief uses the newer sleepers which is what I normally take from CHI to LAX. Also that route has a full diner service.

As always, great Amtrak vid! Curious as to how all y'all rate sleep quality based on direction of travel? (something about the directional sway of a Roomette berth or overnight long haul Coach that just soothes)

@GroundedLifeTravel Жыл бұрын

Thanks! We tend to prefer going east to west as we appreciate the extra hour in the morning before people are making noise. But, in general we sleep pretty well any direction.

@larrypicard8802 Жыл бұрын

I’m a retired sleeping car attendant and I always preferred a roomette. I got better sleep the direction the train was traveling.

@judymoss1076 Жыл бұрын

I took my 1st trip from San Antonio to Chicago and back, I slept like a baby in the roomette on the lower level and the bedroom suite on the way back on the upper level. It was loud and quite difficult to sleep with all the swaying. The shower wasn’t even fair in comparison to the other shower. Next trip, roomette, even if I have a companion. I’m 80 plus. PS the food is excellent and service was fantastic.

Has Amtrak returned to regular dining with their pre covid menus? We loved our bedrooms on the Chief. Neither one of us could get to the upper bunk so we got connecting rooms and had attendant push the sliding wall back.

Traditional dining is back on the chief, but it is a new menu

Hi from Australia. We have been planning to come to the USA for some time and ride some cross country long distance Amtrak. However, their roomette / bedroom pricing structure appears to have changed so that well in advance is way (too) expensive and the only "discounts" are very near travel date if rooms not filled. That's very difficult if have to consider a contingency so question is... can Coach be booked well in advance and then if rooms are cheap enough near the travel date, can they be swapped without a whole load of cancellation fees and the like? Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

The bedroom would be nice, but it’s a little too pricey I think I would go for the roomette

Grounded life travel, I am looking into taking an Amtrak vacation during late June with my family, we are speculating about a trip from Portland to East Glacier on the Empire Builder or Sacramento to Denver aboard the California Zephyr, you guys have experienced all of the long distance routes and we are entirely impartial to the hassle and time of both routes which experience would you recommend?

@thercbeast678 Жыл бұрын

Side note: We are from the state of Washington so in a sense the only partial thought might be avoiding flying to and from the Zephyr trip.
