2 separate rooms?

What was the point in trying to talk fake lovey dovey around the servants to try to make it look like they were really in love when they slept in separate cabins? Didnt So-So and others find it odd that when they went into his or her cabin they were sleeping alone?

When So-So brought her medicine for her sea sickness, she was in bed alone and when he got sick and So-So brought him food and medicine she wasnt in bed with him.

If they were married in love they wouldnt be in different rooms. I thought that would raise alot of suspicions. Wouldn't you think it was strange for a newly married couple trying to look like they are in love to have separtae rooms/sleeping arrangements?

You're right about the seperate rooms in today's environment. But, in 1936 the movie code did not allow one bed for a married couple, they had to be in two seperate beds. Thus, even being married, if not to be intimate they would have to be in seperate rooms.
