Provisions :

Since I've never been on any cruise stretching longer than from Norway to Germany, it seems to me that they brought along the best of the best for their passengers, like:

• 34 tons of fresh meat.
• 1 ton of sausages.
• 3 tons of onions and tomatoes.
• 1453 gallons fresh milk.
• 40.000 fresh eggs.
• 40 tons of potatoes.
• 36.000 apples.
• 15.000 bottles of beer.
• 1.850 bottles of wine/liquor.
• 12.000 dinner plates.
• 40.000 different towels.
• 45.000 napkins.
• 1.000 oyster-forks.
• 15.000 champagne glasses.
• 8.000 cigars.

And all the splendor and luxury this ship contained! What about
- 28 First class Staterooms & Suites, decorating designs including:

• Italian
• Gregorian
• Renaissance
• Regency
• Modern and Old Dutch
• Queen Anne
• Louis XIV and XV

- Gymnasium with rowing machines, a stationary bicycle and a electric horse.
- Swimming pool (exclusive on Titanic and Olympic).
- Squash court.
- Turkish bath.
- 2 Barber shops.
- Authentic Parisian Café with French waiters.
- 4 electric elevators (3 in 1st class, 1 in 2nd class).

If time and place allowed it, I could have continued to list all the other facilities, but this should be enough to give you an indication of the dimensions and luxury aboard the RMS Titanic.
