I based the passenger numbers a bit on the CR90 Corvette. If a 150 meter fairly thin ship can fit potentially 600 passengers plus crew, then something 50 meters longer, quite a bit wider and taller, and specifically made to haul passengers should be able to fit around 1800 comfortably. The Kaiser ocean liner was an aquatic boat class of a similar length and it could fit 1500 passengers including 400+ first and second class passengers with all the luxuries that entails and hundreds of crew in addition.
Now the steerage accommodations are bit like converting everything into the lowest acceptable class of accommodation. The stuff you find on really cheap airplane tickets outside of the major airlines. Something anyone of any amount of means is going to be leery of. In other words something perfectly normal to the standards of the Outer Rim lower classes.
Refuge accommodation is outright stuffing in as many passengers as possible. We are talking sleeping bags in a semi truck container and you have built a second floor out of plywood for more sleeping space levels of cram. Will it fit a lot of people? Yes. Is it legal or safe in any way? Heck no.
When you use these accommodations you are throwing out any adherence to health and safety regulations and should be arrested for using them in most situations. However there are emergencies when those regulations are better off ignored in the name of getting more people away from danger. Environmental disasters like mass volcano eruptions or dire infrastructure failures like when the oxygen generators stop working in a habitat dome for some examples. Sometimes you just need to get as many people out of a bad situation as possible as quickly as possible.
