At the time Titanic offered the nicest Third Class, aka Steerage, accomdations. Before Third Class was just some open dorm area with inadequate food and toilet facilities. Passengers were treated more like cattle. Interesting if modern people would put up with the cramped quarters.

Where do they store all the food that goes on a cruise ship? I’ve been on cruise ships with thousands of other passengers and everywhere I turn around, there is more food. The food just seems to come out of nowhere. Where do they store it all?
