If you're talking about Immigration during the late 1800's-early 1900's, then the life of an immigrant could be described in two ways. Those who could afford to pay the fare stayed in a comfortable area. I suppose they were fed well and weren't crowded like those who couldn't afford the ride. Those people stayed in a part of the ship called the "steerage." It was really crowded. The children slept two to a bed, and married couples shard a bed. If you were single then you'd have your own small bed. They were fed to the point they weren't hungry, but they didn't have a lot of food. They steerage was really crowded and overfilled. (But, it was better than how African slaves had to be on the ships). It wasn't great, but it did get them to their destination.

What were conditions like on the ships in the first fleet for the convicts and marines?

Thanks to Captain Arthur Phillip, the convicts on the First Fleet were subjected to better conditions than convicts of subsequent fleets. Phillip was, in fact, harsher in his discipline with the marines and sailors than he was with the convicts. He was concerned at all times for the convicts' health, trying to give them sufficient rations of food and water, and allowing them above decks for some exercise and fresh air as often as was possible. He knew that they would be invaluable to the building of the new colony. Phillip avoided having the convicts come above decks when the ships hit the rainstorms and wild weather once they crossed the equator, because he knew they had no linens or blankets to dry themselves, and he wanted to limit illness among the convicts. The women were subject to be used promiscuously by the sailors, but in many cases they were quite willing to sell themselves for a bit of extra food. The marines had fairly close quarters themselves, only they weren't restrained. Their food was the same as that of the convicts but they had more of it. Conditions were best for the officers.

It wasn't. Despite Captain Arthur Phillip's to try and keep the convicts as healthy as possible, typhoid, cholera and dysentery were prevalent among the convicts. Conditions below decks were unsanitary as bad weather prevented the convicts from going up on deck most of the time.
