What would the Britannic look like if she never entered war service? Today we step into an alternate history and see what could have been.

Famously, Britannic would have had a pipe organ installed in her Grand Staircase between A and Boat Decks. In 2007 it was discovered that this organ still exists. It is now in a museum and is played from time to time. The first 2 songs in the video are performed on this organ! Britannic would also have a Children's Playroom up on Boat Deck, opposite side of the Gym. Somehow, this ended up being a set in the movie 'A Night To Remember' even though Titanic never had a Children's Playroom. White Star would also add more cabins on A-Deck just aft of the Grand Staircase. On Titanic this would have just been promenade deck space. I wonder how those travelers would have appreciated an organ right outside their doors. I know Queen Mary has struggled with sound insulation and this was 20 years before her. The B-Deck boarding entrance has changed, using new larger windows on the doors leading into the Grand Staircase, and extending the promenade to the front of the superstructure. We also have a brand new 1st Class Mail Room on this deck, relieving the Purser's Desk from that duty. Heading down the stairs we see that furniture has started being removed from the cabins in preparation for her conversion into a hospital ship. After a peek at the Purser's Desk, we see our first Stateroom, the Gregorian Parlor Suite. A bedroom with attached sitting room. Heading back upstairs, we see the Regal Suite with attached private verandah. Then we see the 1st Class Pool, a grand step up from what Titanic and Olympic had. And finally, we end with a look at the Boiler Room and the new double hull.
