Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Unless you’re short of time there must be no better way of crossing America than by train and we chose the Amtrak California Zephyr. We had an upstairs bedroom with bunks and an en-suite shower and toilet, which was comfortable and afforded excellent views. From the moment we boarded until we disembarked the service was excellent and the fully inclusive meals in the dining car were very good. Highly recommended.

If you are considering a trip on The California Zephyr, go! It is a great trip as long as you are realistic with your expectations. Your trip will be what you wish it to be. Yes, a train is never timely. It is not a five star experience! It is a relaxed casual trip where you can see the most beautiful scenery from Colorado through California. You can spend time with others or just spend time alone. I was on the lower level in a roomette (14) and loved it. Less chance of motion sickness, more peaceful, and quick and easy to disembark for some fresh air. The stairs to go upstairs are steep but have a handrail on each side. The food is better than expected. The employees were all very good. A special thank you to Roman and the dining room staff. Be forewarned that a roomette is pretty small for 2 adults. I wouldn’t do it. I took Clorox, wet ones, and window cleaning wipes. I used them all. Also, my air purifier made the roomette less stuffy, and the extension cord was needed if you’re bringing electronics. The shower was fine as long as you time it properly. Relax and enjoy!

Mythical. Exceptional landscapes. To be done at least once in a lifetime. Must-see for train lovers. Comforts and meals in very good standards. Unforgettable. Travel by train!

My spouse and I rode round trip on the Amtrak California Zephyr from Martinez, CA to Reno, NV. This was the first time I've taken Amtrak for this itinerary and it was something I've always wanted to do when it was snowy in the Lake Tahoe area. There isn't First Class seating on the Zephyr so your initial purchase is only for the train ticket in coach. I saw that that I could upgrade to a private Roomette or Room but it wasn't clear to me at the time how to do it plus at that time it would have a couple of $100s so I did not upgrade at that time.
3 days before the trip Amtrak sent me an email if I wanted to upgrade to a Roomette or Room. It was only about $37 to Reno and $79 return to Martinez upgrade to a Roomette which I was happy to do. The Roomette is private and comfortable. It is only meant for 2 people max but worth the additional cost. I thought I would try to "game" the system and wait for a $37 deal on the return, but I didn't want to risk not being in a Roomette for the return trip so I upgraded early.
The train car with the Roomettes have their own restrooms which was convenient. The price of the Roomette also includes lunch in the dining car. Nothing fancy, burgers, Patty Melt (was good) ,chicken cesar, chili, etc., was reasonably good. You can also bring in your own adult beverage to consume inside your Roomette. The staff at Amtrak ticketing station checking-in our luggage and on board the train was very friendly.

This was a bucket list experience. We had never been on a 52 hour trip before on a train and didn't know what to expect. We took the zephyr from Emeryville to Chicago. This was an older train so not everything was perfect. All meals were included. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. The views were amazing and we made some friends and spoke to a few people, especially our table mates as we had to share tables. The staff were amazing and explained everything to us & They kept us fed. We had a 1 bedroom that included a full bathroom. There was an observation car which was nice with it's big windows. The price was good. Would definitely take another trip on Amtrak.

We took the California Zephyr from Chicago Union Station to Emeryville January 21-23.
We rode in a bedroom which was very comfortable.
Overall, this was a truly magnificent experience, allowing us to see America west of Chicago in a truly unique perspective.
The scenery between Chicago and Denver is perhaps not as magnificent, but it is still a powerful slice of Americana.
From Denver west to the Rockies and then onto Utah, Nevada and the Sierra Nevada of California, the scenery is truly breathtaking.
On the train, the service is excellent, three meals a day are included at no additional cost. The staff is friendly and professional. The food is excellent and on our train Chef Michael came around to speak with the guests. He was wonderfully outgoing and charismatic.
Having read some horror stories of monumental delays, we were not sure if we would arrive on time in Emeryville. However, despite a 90-minute delay in Utah, we arrived ten minutes ahead of schedule in Emeryville.
Compared to driving it was so much more enjoyable and relaxing, and while clearly much slower than flying the train truly allowed us to experience the vast and gorgeous landscape of America.
Much more so even than driving, where--especially if you are on the Interstate--you basically experience little more than a wide strip of asphalt and endless gas stations, fast-food restaurants and truck stops.
Plus, on the train you don't have to drive and you're not stuck in the little "box" that is your car.
We met lots of Amtrak fans during this trip for whom the train is always their first choice for long-distance travel in the United States.
Highly recommended.

My journey on the Amtrak California Zephyr began with a ride from Longview Station, Texas, to Chicago. Arriving in Chicago, I stayed overnight near Union Station, giving me a chance to explore the city’s vibrant downtown and iconic architecture. The next morning, I boarded the California Zephyr, eagerly anticipating the renowned cross-country journey to San Francisco.
The California Zephyr lived up to its reputation as one of the most scenic train routes in the United States. The journey took me through a breathtaking variety of landscapes, each more stunning than the last. From the vast plains of the Midwest to the towering Rocky Mountains and the arid deserts of Nevada, the views were nothing short of spectacular. As the train wound through the rugged canyons and snow-capped peaks, it was like traveling through a living postcard.
The train’s comfortable seating, large windows, and friendly atmosphere made the journey even more enjoyable. The dining car offered delicious meals, and the observation car was the perfect place to soak in the panoramic views. By the time we arrived in San Francisco, I felt like I had experienced the heart of America in the most unique way possible. This train journey was truly unforgettable.
Make sure you book a sleeper cab and you can ask your porter cabin staff to bring your meals to your room...oh and add ear muffs and plugs as the train horns every crossing day and night

We had a wonderful holiday trip on the Zephyr. The attendants on both of our trains were wonderful. They work so hard to make your trip great. Nancy and Tony were the best! Meals were served hot and as described. This route is beautiful and lived up to everything we heard. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone! The pics attached were taken from our room. I definitely recommend a bedroom/sleeper accommodations for this route.

The train was disgusting. Rode the sleeper car from Denver to San Francisco. Constant sewage odor. Broken sink. Dirty room. Irritated train crew. What a major let down.

We rode the Zephyr from Denver to Glenwood Springs and back for a weekend jaunt. Spectacular views! It was so charming! The train could use a good deep cleaning since it travels across the country on a regular basis, but the size of the seats, spacing, and windows are great! I recommend bringing your own food on the train since the food is mediocre - but the wine service is great at the bar!

I can find a superliner Roomette for 894 USD sept.30 or oct.1 in 2017. We are two persons travelling together from Chicago to San Francisco. I find this rather expensive and wonder if the price may go down, or will it probably go up ? The price on monday oct.2 is 674 USD which would have made me book now if this was the price two days earlier. And if I my book now, will I get a refund for the tickets If my travel plans change ? The alternative is to take a plane, but booking now will cost just 100 USD less, taken into consideration we need a hotel for two nights, but before any meals, tickets etc.

Go to Amtrak or Railbookers web site. Super easy to get prices, but more importantly find space you are looking for. Amtrak has short trains, but daily service. They also have options that range from ciach seating to private bedrooms for two.

How much does a roundtrip California Zephyr ticket from Denver to San Francisco and back with a roomette and/or bedroom cost per person?

Hi, I'm booked in Coach from Emeryville to Truckee but seemingly without a seat reservation. Do I a) need one and b) if so how do I book one please? Also, I have been advised I'm ok to bring a snowboard bag and just turn up. Has anyone done this and was it all ok? Thanks!

The Zephyr arrives and departes in Salt Lake City round about 3a.m..
What about getting a hotel foe those times? Does anyone give a checkin or checkout 3 hrs after midnight? How are your experiences in Salt Lake City?
