Let's compare it to airline standards:

Business == Domestic First
Roomette == International Business
Bedroom == Larger version of Roomette, with a private toilet/shower (literally, the shower is over the toilet).

IMHO, Roomette is the minimum civilized way of doing it. Remember, the ride is like 16 hours. Consider it the same way you would consider an international redeye flight, and add in the fact that you would be expected to have a drive after you get where you are going.

For example: I couldn't imagine driving from DC to NYC, or Sanford to Miami after being on the equivalent of Airline Domestic FC.
