A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with a gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants, and opulent cabins.
