Perhaps what best caught the eye, and what is considered to be one of the most memorable sights of the entire interior of the RMS Titanic, was the Grand Staircase. Indeed, life onboard the lavish ocean liner must have been truly relaxing, until the ill-fated moment of disaster struck. The Reception Room and adjacent Dining Salon were both to be found on D-deck. To fill in their free time, passengers were also able to check out various board games or arrange their seating in the dining saloon. They could also purchase small souvenirs like a postcard, or buy a ticket for the Turkish baths, which were located on one of the lower decks.

On C-deck, the guests were able to make inquiries at a special Pursers and Enquiry Offices. B-deck, too, was mainly first-class cabins in fact, here were some of the finest cabins available. E-deck, for example, only contained first-class cabins. Not all decks had public rooms at their disposal. A framed map of the North Atlantic route, which showed how the Titanic traveled across the ocean, stood on a wall in this section too, and was updated each day at noon. Other entrances on A-deck led to the promenade deck, and toward A-deck’s first-class staterooms. Off from the A-deck level, guests were able to move to the ship’s reading and writing rooms, or enjoy their leisure time in the lounge area.
