What would it be like?

For starters there's going to be a lot of rivets.

And steam.

Don't forget the random Martian attacks, and the Venusian ladies coming over for cultural exchange projects...
Tea would be the state religion, with High Tea being a mandatory daily event.
Steampunks would be referred to as "those boring conservatives". :D

Package holidays? For the working class even, I assume?!? I say, Sir, those unwashed rabble-rousers better take the tween deck on the ether ship, or else!

Well, we´d be discussing the virtues of the Babbage Mk. XXI analytical cogitator aethernet perusal device and it´s inferior competition products... lol

@Malamute: Ah, so "steerage" is the correct term. I was at a loss at what to call "Zwischendeckspassagiere" in The Queen´s (Gawd bless 'er) English.

The fantasy wargamers would be playing SciFi games featuring the internal combustion engine, and the historical gamers would be playing Victorian Science Fact.
