But the billionaire who is rebuilding the Titanic today chose not to boast of the lavish facilities for the privileged few who will travel first class. Instead, Clive Palmer said that he was considering marketing third class tickets as an adventure holiday - complete with limited menus, cramped bunks and delousing on arrival in New York.

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?
