B-Deck, also called the Bridge Deck, was the top weight-bearing deck and the uppermost level of the hull. It was the third of nine decks on the Titanic. More First Class Accommodations were located here, with six palatial cabins featuring their own private promenades. The B-Deck was notably different from Titanic's sistership, as can be seen in the two different deckplans. The First Class State Rooms are all on the inner part on Olympic, while at Titanic, they run alongside both sides against the wall, and look out over sea through the glass windows that are part of the long First Class Promenade on Olympic. Another change compared to her sister was the aft part of the superstructure. The Second Class passengers had a larger Promenade on Olympic, whereas on Titanic this was cut short to create the Café Parisien for First Class passengers. It also seemed that First Class passengers on Olympic that enjoyed to eat in the À La Carte Restaurant were annoyed by peeking Second Class passengers who could just look inside, since their promenade ran on both sides of the Restaurant. The Restaurant on Olympic in turn was so popular that it was decided to make the place a lot larger on Titanic so it could house more passengers, who would no longer need to wait as long to reserve a table. So on Titanic it was made wider, thus it ran against the port side of the B-Deck, with right next to it on starboard side, the Cafe Parisien.

On Titanic, the Restaurant and the Café Parisien provided luxury dining facilities to First Class passengers. Both were run by subcontracted chefs and their staff; nearly all were lost in the disaster because they weren't considered crew members, and they, of course, weren't passengers. The very few staff members who did survive were allowed on deck because they were coincidentally wearing casual clothes and the officers thought them to be passengers.

At the aft part of the large deck, behind the Restaurant, there was an Entrance to the Second Class areas, most noteworthy, the Second Class Smoke Room.

Aft of the Bridge Deck was the raised Poop Deck, which was used as a promenade by Third Class passengers, and the crew worked there as well. This was where many of Titanic's passengers and crew made their last stand as the ship sank.

The top of the Bow was also part of B-Deck, and named the Forecastle Deck. This was a place for crew only, and there were many capstans and bitts for the hawsers.

The Forecastle and Poop Deck were separated from the longer Bridge Deck by well decks. The Forecastle Deck started flooding at 1:10 A.M. and completely disappeared by 1:15 A.M. The B-Deck superstructure itself started flooding at 1:30 A.M.
