Cabin class was referred to as the ” Middle Class” of the ship. Referred to in travel brochures as “Happy Medium” in Atlantic travel, offering high standards of comfort and service at reasonable rates. Typical travelers included vacationing clerics, professors, seniors, and families. With more space, comfort, and amenities passengers lived between the luxury of First and spare accommodations of Tourist. It was just the right mix for those who wanted more room and were put off by the extra appointments and perceived formality of First. Dressing up for dinner was optional, and a more informal atmosphere prevailed in the public rooms.

   All but four staterooms in Cabin Class had a private shower and toilet. The curly maple paneled dinning room was bright and cheerful . Passengers dined beneath Hildreth Meire’s stylized murals of the skylines of San Francisco, New York, Paris and London. The smoking room came with fireplace and chairs upholstered in leather and hand woven fabric. There was room for deck games on a large expanse of Upper Deck and a glass enclosed promenade on Main deck.
