We traveled from Los Angeles to Seattle on the Coast Starlight train.
A roomette with two beds and a closet costs $600 and we split it.
All of our meals were included in the ticket price.
The train ride from Los Angeles to Seattle took 35 hours, and my sister and I split the cost.
We traveled from Los Angeles to Seattle on the rail line.
We stayed in a Superliner roomette, which is the entry level category for private cabins, for $600.
My sister and I split the cost of the room for our girls' trip since it is 3 feet wide and 6 feet long and can fit up to two people.
The experience was described here.
The hallway was very small.
We walked through a hallway to find our roomette, which was across from other cabins.
There was a small hallway. A traveler with a backpack can fit in it.
The small closet in our cabin helped us maximize our space because we had two people and two backpacks in our roomette.
Extra luggage can be put on the first floor by passengers who traveled with more than one backpack.
At night, the seats in the roomettes were turned into bunk beds.
There were two seats in the room. When it was time to sleep, they made a bunk bed.
There was a table between the seats. There was a closet on the right side of the room.
Our roomette only had one outlet, so I recommend bringing a portableusb charger with you.
The Superliner roomette did not have a bathroom.
There wasn't a bathroom in the Superliners roomette.
The first and second floors have bathroom facilities. On the first floor, there were showers.
A Superliner bedroom, which is one category above the roomettes and double the size, would have given us a private sink, bathroom, and shower.
The price of our roomette included a dining-car meal.
When booking a roomette, meals in the dining car were included in the ticket price.
I ate an omelette for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, and a plate of chicken pasta for dinner on the coast.
It was possible to have dessert with lunch and dinner.
The top bunk was small but comfortable.
We kept the door and curtain closed at night.
I chose the top bunk when I was going to sleep.
I needed to put the safety strap on the outside of the top bunk bed so I wouldn't fall off the bed.
I was comfortable enough to get some sleep even though I was only 5'1 and felt cramped in the bunk.
I would return to the roomette again.
The roomette did a great job of getting us through 35 hours.
The ride reminded me of why I chose it in the first place. I would definitely do it again.
