    Just called and talked to an agent. She's very friendly, informative and helpful. Unlike most company customer service agents, we have some laughs through the call. She confirms me I'm on the upperdeck. Need to talk to the conductor if I will have the ocean view on the day I board. Lunch and...

    OK OK.. I am going to go with roomette. My return is from SJC to LAX, a shorter ride. Then I will come back in coach. Good?

    If I go with the roomette, will they be assigning the room to me? Would I be able to pick upstairs or downstairs?

    Making reservation with or without roomette???? I'm still debating =) Would it be ODD to have just one person in the roomette? or nobody really cares?

    Thanks for the warm welcome! Glad it's an active good community. Just checked the schedule it takes off at LAX at 12:15pm. Will I get lunch and dinner? The price is $69 coach and $156 with roomette. I think everybody seems to suggest getting the roomette. =)

    Thank you for the replies. It's a train trip I have been wanting to take for a long time. I'm sure I will enjoy the ride in coach.. but roomette sounds nice... ahhh... How much days ahead of time I need to purchase the ticket?

    Only 12 hours ride alone. Should I get the roomette?

    Hi all, Amtrak newbie here. Heard of the Coast Starlight ride many times and decide to take it from LAX to Emeryville. It'll be a 12 hour ride just by myself. Does it worth spending an additional $100 to get a roomette instead of coach? Thank you all
