Decided to take the Auto Train today. I went to AMTRAK.com and clicked on the auto train reservation. For the date 3/13, it showed a price of 148 for 2 ppl. A roomette was 126. The auto fee was 157. I clicked on these to purchase and the fare went from 148 to 186. The room remained the same as did the auto fee. The total fare with accommodations ended up at 469. I did not understand why the fare price jumped after making the reservation (as the roomette seemed to be a low bucket compared to other dates). I then made a dummy reservation but did not reserve a roomette and the fare remained at 148, very confusing as to why the fare goes up when you purchase a roomette. Has this happened to anyone else?
