My husband and I are planning a trip north from Tampa to Washington DC on the Silver Star. We typically book a bedroom when we do overnight trips, but this time, because the trip involves just one night on the train, we've decided to get a roomette. Another deciding factor was that roomettes on the Silver Star each have their own private toilet that can be used during the night. The price difference is substantial ~ $204 for a roomette vs. $508 for a bedroom!
I'm getting ready to make our reservations by phone and would like to know if the right or the left side of the train is preferable for the views when heading north. I'd also like to know which end of the car is best ~ next to the shower, or away from it. Does anyone have experience with the roomette right next to the shower? Do you get noise from it?
Also, I assume that because the train leaves Tampa at 5:17 pm that we'll have no problems getting our evening meals after we board.
Thanks for any advice you're able to provide! :hi:
