First Class Parlour Suites (bedrooms)

    In most first bedrooms you found one or two beds, a cabinet for clothes, a small couch, a mirror, a desk or table, and multiple chairs (keep in mind that first class had their own restrooms). They also came with some modern electrical appliances such as heaters, telephones, fans, and steward call bells. With this in mind, you can imagine how large the rooms were (sadly, most photos taken of the rooms did not do them justice). There was a variety of first class bedrooms. Each bedroom had different looking themes, as you can see. The rooms were insanely elaborate and even made the most wealthy people on the ship feel like royalty.

Second Class Bedrooms

    A lot like everything else on the Titanic, the second class bedrooms had almost all the same stuff first class bedrooms had, just built into a more compact area. Just like first class, they had a desk, but it was built in next to a sink and mirror where they could wash themselves. Under the sink and desk, there were some drawers to put clothing into. The rooms also had one berth (bed built into the wall) or two berths on top of eachother (a bunk bed built into the wall), with curtain(s) to seperate the beds from the rest of the rooms when sleeping. Across from the beds was a small couch where the passengers could visit with guests, read, or write. The second class bedrooms were not AS big as the first class rooms, but they were still considered quite large.

Third Class Bedrooms

    As you can see, third class bedrooms were quite small and bland compared to first and second class bedrooms. Almost all the third class bedrooms looked exactly the same as the next one. The rooms were very narrow and thin, certainly compared to the first class bedrooms that were very wide. They only had the necessities- a sink for washing themselves, a mirror, hooks to hang their jackets on, four beds and drawers built into the bed sides. Although this may sound very small and bland, most passengers claimed that the third class bedrooms on the Titanic were better than most second class bedrooms on other cruise ships. Because most third class passengers were families traveling to America for a better life, third class bedrooms had four berths (two sets of bunk beds built into the wall). If you were traveling alone in third class you shared a room with other third class passengers you did not know.
