Like someone said to me on Facebook, the first class cabins look like lower M class on deck 5 on the QE2. (even without a private bathroom and toilet)
Sharing bathrooms must have been completely normal 100 years ago.
Would be interesting to see something similar on the Mauretania, Ile de France, Normandie, Nieuw Amsterdam etc etc Wishful thinking! :-)

Gosh, we were cruising on ships with community bathrooms right up into the 1990s, such as aboard CANBERRA, AMERKANIS, and BRITANIS.
Private en suite bathrooms were the exception, not the rule, until the 1930s and later. A number of ships even built in the '50s and even the early '60s did not offer private bathrooms for all cabins.

They do not have fine woods and brass detailing, but do not fight back at you at the simple daily tasks of any hotel room.
I did experience immigrant class cabins on the Canberra and Olympia. Being a child and Olympia first cruise, I knew no different.
In all fairness, the liners I sailed which were converted to full time cruising such as Queen Anna Maria, Sea Breeze, Rembrandt, and QE2 were not problematical, and planning was close to a mobile home.
