The interior space inside a Galaxy class is immense. A standard US aircraft carrier has a crew of some 3000 sailors. It is utterly dwarfed by the Enterprise-D. Forget the official crew manifest. The real world designers thought too small. 642m in length, 463m wide, 195 height, and 42 decks total. That saucer section alone could house 10k people easy, and probably 50k in an emergency. With only 3k aboard, they all ought to have a respectable living quarters to themselves.
