I just looked on the Amtrak site and it says that the roomette comes with soap and shower amenities.

Hmm so i should just bring my own stuff to be safe? I have a roomette, but i'm trying not to overpack my carryon....so i'm trying to get as much info as i can. Thank you

Are the showers clean? Can i be bare foot in there or do i need flip flops to wear in the shower?

Thanks for the tip!! :)

Thanks everyone for the info. Removing my towel will free up a little space in my carry on.

I'm trying to pack my carryon and i just wanted to know what items are provided in the Sleeper. Is it sort of like a hotel with towels, soap, shower caps etc. Provided? If anyone knows what items are provided i'd greatly appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you. :)

Thank you! I have an additional question, meals are included when you have a sleeper, but how do they know that you have a room? Do you have to show you ticket at dinner so that you are not charged?

Ok great! Thank you!

Are meals served at particular times on the train? And also are the beds set up and put away at particular times? I'm really not a morning person, i don't really wake up early unless i have too ( i tend to have trouble sleeping...so it tough to wake up early). Please let me know... My trip...

Ok, thank you very much for the information. I am going to try to eat in the dining car, but like the original poster, i am not to good with small talk and talking to strangers. But i'm gonna try it out and. I'll be on the train for 3 days, so if the dining car experience sucks, then i can just...

So you tip 5 or 10 per meal in the roomettte? Also when dining in the car, do you just do the tip like in a restaurant and leave it on the table?

I don't have any breakables. It just clothes and a few books. Thanks for the tip about have my address in multiple places. The only reason i'm thinking of shipping the bags is just so i don't have to deal with taking them to the station. I'm not a big woman, so draging to big bags plus my...

Online or at the Train Station? I was thinking of going to the station only so i can look around and see where things are, make it little easier on myself with my luggage. The station is huge and i get turned around very easily. Just today i got on the wrong train going in the wrong direction (...

I will remember that, thank you!

I read somewhere that they don't check ID and somewhere else that they do. Which is correct? I assume they would check to match the name on the ticket to the photo ID. Also, I read that there are random ticket checks. So does that mean i need to walk around with my ticket, or just go get it...

Thank You guys!! I am so excited about this trip, but also want to make sure that i am cautious so that i can enjoy the trip without any problems. Thanks for all your answers. :)

I am taking a long trip to SF from NY. I will have a sleeper from Chicago to California I don't have a lot of stuff, but the most valuable thing i own in my laptop and i am very worried about how safe it will be in the sleeper. I don't want to have to carry it with me to get food and so forth...

Ok, well that hopefully shouldn't be to bad....i'm just gonna have a straight trip from Emmeryville to SF less than an hour. Thank you so much!!!!!

LOL!! :lol:

I am planning a long trip from NY to California. There is a transfer from Chicago with a four hour wait to the next train. Do the trains work like the planes, in that your checked baggage will be transferred to the next train for you? When i get to California, then i have to switch to a bus...
