An Amtrak tip that I mentioned earlier, if you're traveling solo in a roomette, you can bring your carry-on luggage in the sleeping room with you. With the top bunk empty, you can stow your smaller bags and carry-ons “upstairs” on the upper bunk or the hard-to-reach shelf.
MORE DETAILS
Roomette: Two overnight bags. Family Room: Two to three suitcases.

Why is Amtrak sleeper car so expensive? Heavy demand for private rooms on many routes has prompted Amtrak to charge the highest fares that passengers will pay.

General Guidelines: Tipping is NOT required, but is considered correct for the service crew personnel on the train. Recommendations: Snack bar attendant: roughly 10%. Dining car: 15% of menu prices (sleeping car passengers may want to note this when ordering their meals).

Sleeper Car Layout This ensures that there is no need for coach passengers to walk through the sleeper car (coach passengers are not allowed in this area of the train). The upper level has one shared bathroom, 10 roomettes (#1-10) and five bedrooms (A-E) with private bathrooms that include showers.

Equipped with a landscape window in every room, our roomettes are perfect for the solo traveler or a couple of adventurers. Each room has two comfy seats, two beds, outlets and a fold-down table. The dimensions of each roomette are 3'6' X 6'6 and have room for two adults — a great cozy option for first time riders.

We often get the question “Is Amtrak safe for single woman”, the short answer is yes. You are in a train car full of people. One of the great things about Amtrak is the space. On airplanes the seats are so close together that it's hard to avoid touching your seat mates.

Bring a Travel Pillow and Blanket While Amtrak does provide bedding in the Sleeping car rooms, you may wish to have your own pillow and an extra blanket for warmth.
MORE DETAILS
Some people prefer the roomettes on the lower lever as they rock less, are close to the bathroom and, away from much foot traffic and easier to leave from.. Others prefer the upper level as there is less train noise, the view can be better and you don't have to climb the stairs to reach the diner or sightseer lounge.

If I'm booked in Coach, can I upgrade? Yes. Upgrades from Coach to Sleeping Car accommodations are available up until the moment of your departure by modifying your trip on Amtrak.com or the Amtrak app. While you will pay the difference in fare, no change fee applies when upgrading to a room.
MORE DETAILS
Each passenger pays the basic rail (coach) fare and one single fare for the room upgrade. You should book for two and it'll show you the total price for both of you. Definitely make sure you like the other person, because you'll be cozy! Pay railfare once for each person, and pay once for the room like a hotel.
