My 11-year-old son and I traveled nearly 27 hours from Boston to St. Louis via Amtrak. I booked a private bedroom and two roomettes to ensure we'd be comfortable. Our 27-hour train ride wasn't cheap, but I've never regretted the experience we had staying in a bedroom and private roomettes.

I thought the private bedroom was well worth the price.
