two bunk beds a mirror and a place to put your clothes.

20 minutes later things in the ship start to look bad the mail room was flooded and water was starting to pour in the into some of the forward holds and two of the boiler rooms. The captain was sending out help calls.but no one was close enough excpet for the carpathia.
