Having ridden once, and absolutely loved the PPC, on #14 from LAX to EMY (it was more than worth the $99 to upgrade to roomette, especially once you add in two meals), my only comment would be that I would rather have an SSL than a CCC. The windows on the SSL go much lower then the ones on the PPC and the CCC, so you do get slightly better views. On both the PPC and the SSL, you have the windows extending higher and into the roof, which makes for the views forward that much better. It is interesting how there are a fair number of people who come out to see the PPC once, come for meals, or come for the wine tasting, but there are times of day where it is quite empty and very peaceful where one can be very much alone and just watching the gorgeous scenery roll by. Not having ridden the PPC into the second day, I don't know if it is more crowded after people feel like a stretch after being on the train overnight. I will test that theory in June.
