Hello all,
I know you must be getting sick of me on the message board with all the questions I post up! Sorry

but getting to the point. How would passengers wake in the morning. Would they tell a steward to wake them up? The steward would have an alarm clock? Well sorry for posting once again another question and I hope you all have a very nice evening!

THANKS.

I always figured they would tell their steward or stewardess about what time they wanted to be woke up.

I'm sure no one is sick of you, Sahand. This message board was made for questions. That's how one learns.
 
Sahand, I love your questions. They are good and well thought. Please keep them coming.

Anyway, did they even have alarm clocks then and maybe most passengers just slept until they woke up.
 
I think they did have alarm clocks, but they were only used by servants and the lower classes. Those with servants were woken by a knock at the door, then a servant would come in, draw the curtains, and serve tea/coffee. Passsengers would probably have asked to be woken by stewards or stewardesses at a pre-arranged time.
 
Hey Guys,
Cool! Nice info! I wish someone would do that for me in the morning instead of the annoying alarm clock. School hours are no fair. Well I dont know about anyone on the Titanic but I would be sleeping till 12:00 at latest!

School hours are no fair.

You've got that right! My dad has a ritual where he turns on the bathroom light, then gives me a good shaking every morning...at 6:30 a.m.! Twelve sounds good to me!

Only six months until summer vacation...
 
Morning tea would be served to staterooms by the bedroom stewards/stewardesses at standard times depending on the time of breadfast service in the dining saloons. Calls for first or second sittings, if applicable, would therefore be at different times.

Any departure from standard call times would be by special arrangement with the BR.

This is of course for first or second class cabin passengers. Steerage would probably be awoken by the duty night steward heaving a bucket down the alleyway. Well, something like that!
