Life Onboard: Second Class: Amenities
Lounge
The Lounge was also known as the library. Although, it wasn't as nice as the 1st-class room, it was still beautifully furnished with upholstered mahogany chairs in a large room with sycamore furnishings.
Smoking Room
The Smoking Room was used for the same purpose as the one in 1st-class, for men. This one had carved oak panelling and lovely oak furniture covered with a nice dark green morocco leather.
Dining Saloon
The Second class Dining Saloon had food that was made in the same kitchen or galley that made the 1st-class meals. The tables were long and had fixed, swivel chairs. This is the decor you would find on most other ships for 1st-class in 1912.
