Interior
- Was a luxury inside.
- The lifeboats were deemed eyesores on the deck, so only 16 were loaded along with four collapsible boats.
- Boat Deck - contained the Captain's Bridge, from which the ship was navigated
- Promenade Deck (Deck A) - encompassed the two first-class staircases.
- Bridge Deck (Deck B) - included first-class cabins/suites, an à la carte restaurant and Café Parisien. Had all male smoking room and the third class poop deck.
- Shelter Deck (Deck C) - site of the purser's office, third-class smoking room and the second-class library/lounge.
- Saloon Deck (Deck D) - first-class reception room, first-class dining saloon and first- and second-class galleys and the second-class dining saloon.
- Upper Deck (Deck E) - contained second- and third-class cabins.
- Middle Deck (Deck F) - location of the third-class dining saloon and the Turkish baths.
- Lower Deck/Orlop Deck - included the squash courts; post office; carpentry, plumbing and electrical workshops; and "refrigerated" rooms cooled by a series of miles-long copper pipes where foodstuffs and other perishables were contained.
- Tank Top - housed the boiler and engine rooms.
- There was an airy lightness to much of the ship's décor -- wicker furniture in the casual dining areas, subtle pastel fabrics, palm trees and other lush potted plants, cheery wallpaper with simple floral or stripe motifs, and lots of glass and lighting fixtures reinforced with iron.
