By the way, I have a different preference in compartments. I like the family bedroom, then the roomette, and then the bedroom. I have a sensitive nose and don't care for the toilet facilities being in the compartment. I've had a couple of bad experiences with that just not being as clean as I would like, and it's even more an issue when you join a train for the second half of the trip, as we do when taking the Starlight from SJC. For short trips -- like SJC to LA -- I do a roommette, which we have made up as beds so that we can nap. For overnights, I pretty much insist on the family bedroom. It's just so much nicer to be able to sleep in the same bed, and to be able to nap while someone else enjoys the other seating in the compartment.
