I hope you know the only usable part wasn't just the basket looking thing underneath, the whole lower part of the "balloon" part had luxury interior, just look up colorized vids on youtube. It has more space than any of these planes lol.
In part because it was a luxury vessel so you have chefs, waiters, etc. They even had dudes to operate the elevators. Looks like most of the crew were engine mechanics though. Guess they weren't that reliable!

No engines were that reliable in that era.
That’s why the large flying boats had dedicated flight engineers who would actually go into the wings of the aircraft to maintain them while in flight.
