This is a guide of the social status of the classes and where they were allowed to roam on board the Titanic.

First Class
First class was the wealthiest class of them all. They were superior to everyone else, they were at the top of the food chain. Men, women and children belonging to this class had access to most luxurious parts of the Titanic, including the Grand Staircase, swimming pool, A la Carte Restaurant, enclosed decks and more. They were allowed to visit the other class areas, but this was often looked down upon. The places they were allowed to visit were:

First class lounge, reading and writing room
First class smoking room (for men only)
First class A la Carte Restaurant
First class dining saloon
First class reception room
Grand Staircase
Gymnasium
Squash courts
Swimming pool
Turkish baths
Verandah Cafe
Cafe Parisien
Promenade decks

Second Class
Second class was sort of in between. They had some priveleges, but not as much as first class. On board the Titanic, their class areas was fancy to some extent, but again not as much as first class. Their allocated areas included:

Second class smoking room
Second class dining saloon
Second class library
Boat deck
Poop deck
Bow
Aft and forward well decks

Third Class
Third class were the poorest of the lot. They had almost no luxuries, and lived off what they could. Most passengers were imigrating for a better life in America, with all the new opportunities there. On the Titanic, the accommodation and areas were much more luxurious to the third class than how they lived in their home countries. The places they were allocated to were:

Third class smoking and general room
Third class dining saloon
Poop deck
Aft well deck

Stewards/stewardesses
These crew aboard the ship had access to whatever area they liked, depending on what class they worked for. If they served the first class, they could visit the dining saloons and resaurants, decks, and other priveleged areas. Personal stewards or stewardesses sometimes slept close to the passengers they were serving, but most slept below or among third class. When their working hours were over, they were allowed to visit the boat deck and sometimes the poop and aft well deck.
