First-class services onboard the Titanic

White Star Line Passenger List

After stepping onboard the R.M.S. Titanic, every passenger was handed a small printed booklet called the Passenger List. It was an introduction to life onboard, and detailed a number of interesting things about life onboard, including:

Times for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
How and where to send wireless telegrams.
How to reserve a table for dinner.
Prices for deck chairs, rugs, cushions, and more.
Surgery services and times.
Turkish baths and swimming pool prices.
Barber services and times.
The meaning behind Officers sleeve stripes.
A full list of all first-class passengers onboard.

The Titanic and its passengers was tragically lost on the night of April 15th, 1912, but thanks to a surviving Passenger List from it’s nearly identical sister ship, the R.M.S. Olympic, we can learn about each of these services.

This exhibition will explore each of these services in detail, to give you an accurate idea of what it was like to be a first-class passenger onboard the Titanic.

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast onboard the Titanic was held between 8am and 10am.
Luncheon took place at 1pm.
Dinner was from 7:30 pm onwards.

Titanic’s à la carte restaurant was located on A Deck, where meals could be taken at any time between 8am and 11pm, for an additional charge. To book a table, passengers were required to apply onboard to the Manager of the restaurant .

Passengers who had not previously arranged for seats at a table could book via the Second Steward. Children under the age of ten years were services separate sittings within the main Dining Room.
