In reply to D Cooper.

@CarolinaCoopers:disqus, no problem–glad you found it useful. 15,000 Chase UR points for 2 people to go from Miami-New York in a sleeper might is one of the best values of points out there…

Thanks for the info on Amtrak to NYC and especially on using Chase UR points 🙂

In reply to Steven. I think that's just a shower. I never saw any toilets in the sleeper cars other than in the roomettes and bedrooms.

The Silver Meteor/Silver Star uses Viewliner (as opposed to Superliner) sleeper cars. There is a separate shower down the hall, but no separate toilet. The roomette toilets are fine; if you’re shy, just ask your partner to step out for a bit. We’ve taken the Star/Meteor to DC, Philly, and NYC several times, and love the roomette. Had a full bedroom once (private enclosed toilet plus shower), but found it a waste of money. We get 3 meals x2 people, and bring music, laptops, movies, and Kindles. I always bring a change of undies and take a hot shower after breakfast. Great way to travel…

We are getting ready to head to NYC for a long weekend via Amtrak with sleepers. Can’t wait!

In reply to Great Stone Face. Yeah @great_stone_face:disqus, it was a pretty cool trip! And I think @smitty195:disqus might be right, from what I've read the Auto Train has bedrooms, roomettes and a dining car! But it might have been possible to miss these if you stay in the coach car.

In reply to Great Stone Face. Um, yes they do. The Auto Train is made up of double-decker Superliner cars. If you get a Deluxe Bedroom, you have your own toilet AND shower IN YOUR ROOM. If you get a Roomette, no, you don't have a sink or toilet---but it's just down the hall. It sounds like you've never been on a Superliner train before.

In reply to Steven. Yeah, I exaggerated a bit on that one. The picture above shows the sink flipped down but under that is a toilet that is meant to be used by roomette passengers. Not sure how other cars are configured but this was the only toilet on our car, there was however a communal shower at the end.

In reply to Steven. Yeah, exaggerated a bit on that one. The picture above is with the sink flipped out but under the sink is a toilet that is meant to be used by passengers. On our particular car there was just a shower at the end of the car so the only toilet was in the cabin!
