Virtual Titanic Cruise, Day Three

APRIL 3rd POST:

Can you sense it, passengers? Do you feel the excitement as departure day approaches? Perhaps you've already tried to imagine what your room will look like. I've seen many of the suites in the first-class section already, and am breathless as I consider the luxury they will provide our guests. Many of our suites boast drawing rooms with desks and settees, spacious bedrooms with canopy beds and the finest linens. Even the pillowcases are trimmed out.

In many of our staterooms the walls are papered in red velvet. Truly, one feels like royalty. And the lights! Titanic is the first ship with electric lights in every room. In fact, more than 10,000 light bulbs are used onboard. And that's not all! Hand-carved bedposts, gilded sconces, plush carpeting. . .talk about a feast for the eyes. You will feel as if you're staying in the grandest hotel in town. A floating hotel, no less! And our stewards are at your beck and call, always ready to meet your needs, day or night. As a matter of fact, we will have more than 200 stewards onboard, approximately one for every 1.5 passengers. You will be well cared for.

Second class passengers will find their accommodations far beyond what one might expect on other liners. Staterooms offer lovely beds and plenty of room to rest and relax. Why, even our third-class passengers will be thrilled to find a washbasin in each room, as well as adequate bed space. Our guests will travel in style, regardless of deck or class.

Of course, you won't want to spend all of your time in your stateroom or suite. First class passengers are encouraged to take full advantage of the other fine areas on the "A" deck, including the promenade, the lounge, a reading/writing room, a wonderful library, the first class smoking room, the Verandah café, and the Palm Court. On the "B" deck one can enjoy the Grand Promenade suites, a lovely restaurant, a galley, and the Café Parisian.

As you can tell, the White Star Line has spared no expense. We want our guests to remember this trip for the rest of their lives. Truly, this will be one journey you won't soon forget. For more, take a peek here: http://www.titanic-titanic.com/titanic_first_class_interiors.shtml

So, what are you planning to do inside of your stateroom? Visit with friends or family members? Take a long nap as the boat makes its way across the sea? Read a book? Sit at the desk and compose letters to friends? The possibilities are endless!
