Haven't ridden Amtrak in a few years, but I agree with onesnowyowl and tiltedbc. It's slow, it's fun, and it should be considered part of the vacation, not just the trip to the vacation. On long trips, you'll enjoy it a lot more with a compartment. Sleeping in those seats isn't all that much fun, though many do it.
The interesting thing about the train: you cannot avoid meeting people. People start conversations. In the dining car, you _will_ be seated at a table with three people -- there's no room for singletons or single couples. And you'll talk.
