out of frame in photographs due to the confined nature of the cabins while most passengers aboard titanic were likely to be very satisfied with their accommodations they were among the best in the world after all this was not without exception second class passengers emmanita shelley and her mother lucinda parish were distraught after finding their cabin and referred to it as a cell they tried relentlessly for the first few days to be switched to another cabin but even if they had been successful they would have likely remained unsatisfied as like we discussed all second class cabins were generally alike another young man in second class named alfred nerney fancied himself more of a first class passenger and after some complaining to the purser was upgraded to first class for a NUMBER_TOKEN pound surcharge moving down to edek the second class accommodations were consolidated to the starboard side of the ship due to the famous scotland road and other working areas of the ship on the port side this is where the second class slashed alternate first class cabins were located on titanic's maiden and only voyage these were actually used for first class passengers but in all reality they were only slight upgrades from the standard second class cabins while we are used to seeing the cream of the crop in terms of first class accommodations it is important to remember that the cabins in the first class varied greatly and even some of those up on the higher decks could easily be mistaken by the untrained eye as second-class cabins the second-class first-class alternate cabins featured standard second-class furniture a wash basin with a tank like in second class and exposed structural elements of the ship the only true uprights from standard second class cabins were the occasional electric heater and carpet rather than linoleum although most of the second class cabins on e-deck were also first-class alternates it is important to note that there were three distinct sections and each section would only be used for either second class or first class ultimate on a given voyage never both while this would have been slightly less efficient at times it simply would not have been acceptable to have second class and first class passengers mingling this was NUMBER_TOKEN after all since there were no private bathroom facilities in the second class and actually very few even in the first class there were plenty of public facilities on edec as well as the other decks in second class on e-deck there were NUMBER_TOKEN water closets NUMBER_TOKEN urinals and NUMBER_TOKEN baths if you want to learn more about the bathroom facilities aboard titanic i have a video on this very topic as part of my great quick move series which is exclusive to my supporters on patreon link in the description edek also include this second class barbershop where passengers could get their haircut and buy souvenirs and house the ship's musicians even lower on the ship on f deck is actually where the bulk of permanent second class cabins were located these were the same as the rest of the second class cabins so i won't go into further detail here finally on g deck is where the second class third class alternate cabins were located these were of lower quality than the standard second class cabins but did include nicer furniture which would normally not have been found in the third class life in the second class while the ship was at sea was simple but comfortable in the morning one would rise for breakfast served between NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN. breakfast might be followed by a stroll on deck before settling down in the library until
