Hello All!
Had a quick question for all of you. I'm in the preliminary process of planning a train trip from Los Angeles to New Orleans on the Sunset Limited, then catching the Crescent up to Atlanta. The Sunset Limited portion of the trip is two nights so I'm defiantly thinking a sleeper would be our best bet for a comfortable trip.
Now the question is to whether go for a roomette or a bedroom. For clarification I'd be traveling with my brother. Both of us are around six feet tall.
The Bedroom will run at a $698 supplement while the roomette would be a $236 supplement. That make's a $462 a difference. I "think" I'm fine with sharing a roomette for the trip, but I would love to get some firsthand experience from those who have actually stayed in a roomette with another person. Judging from the pictures it looks like it might be a little bit of a squeeze. Would it be just uncomfortably tight for two six foot lads? I have no qualms about setting up camp during the day in the lounge, but I don't know how hard/difficult it is to get a seat in the lounge during the day.
If push comes to shove I might just pay $472 for two separate roomette, but once again would love to hear your opinions on this.
Just one more question: Whats the general consensus on the scenery on the trip. Judging by the route map it doesn't look like anything crazy exciting, but I'm looking forward to just having a relaxed trip across the country.
Thanks & Blessings
