Why were the first class passangers on the titanic more privileged?
Yes, the first class passengers on Titanic had lush five course meals while second had three course meals and third class passengers had a one course meal that was pretty basic. The first class passengers could use the heated swimming pool on board while the second and third could not. It was the same with the squash court and the gym. They had expensive French parisian cafes on board and grand dining rooms and lounges. Also if you were a first class child or woman you had practically 100% chance of surviving. Even though only 92% of women and children in first class survived it was because most decided to stay with their husbands and only 1 child in first class died. So yes first class passengers did have special privilages.
