Creator's Key Takeaways

To be honest, this feels bigger than the shower stall on the cruise ship that we were just on.

It's actually a pretty good train ride.

The food was excellent. It wasn't what I was expecting for a train ride, but it was really delicious.

If you're not in a hurry and if you're traveling somewhere between San Diego and Seattle, any of those points in between, it's highly recommended.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Schedule your lunch time to coincide with the train hitting the coast for the best views.
โœ“Get to the observation car early to secure a good seat, as it fills up later.
โœ“Use the straps on the top bunk to prevent falling.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We travel First Class in a Roomette for 12-hours aboard Amtrak Coast Starlight, which is a scenic train that travels between San Diego in the Southwestern US and Seattle Washington in the Northwest. If you're not in a hurry and you need to travel to and from any point between those two cities, we highly recommend taking this amazing train instead of flying on a cramped plane. This video explains why. #Amtrak #California #Coast Starlight #Train #Scenic #firstclass #Travel
