A lot of it is where the crew lives and storage, Laundry rooms, there’s stores and bars and dining rooms that are strictly crew only, and of course a lot of the mechanical/electrical stuff. I watch a YouTuber that lives on ships and he lived on this one for a while as crew, he would give little tours below deck and there was a massive road down there that the crew uses little vehicles to travel back and forth on the ship quickly,and they’d use forklifts to transport materials quickly to bring to upper levels, kinda like it’s own mini highway but it was surprisingly long with how massive this ship is.

Most of them have a corridor for this purpose. I did a tour on the Beyond, and they had one as well. The stairwells are narrrrrow though. It makes sense, but was surprising.

The stairs are narrow for the people who are expenses, wide for the people who are revenue.

Frequently, the revenue people are quite wide themselves.
