The First Class Pass
Blake Cross
Other than the millionaires, who also rode first class?
Other than millionaires many people of different associations came aboard first class, as well as some middle class families. Business men/women, shipbuilders and staff, real estate ,singers ad actors, personal maids and nurses, jewelers, military , arts and fashion and of course the men and women who didn’t need to work at all. The tickets themselves were quite expensive in today's money from 2,500$. In today's money that would cost 57,200$!, not to mention the highest quality room on the liner would have costed more than 103,000$!
What were first class able to use/have?
On board the titanic even the first class passengers were surprised on how luxurious a boat could be. As a first class passenger the first class deck consisted of rooms like a gymnasium, a squash court, Turkish baths,swimming pools, two separate libraries, and much more! Aboard the Titanic's first class you were treated as royalty meaning that you had ten courses just for dinner containing items like: chopped lamb, steaks,pies,puddings,soups,and other horderves. Activities on deck included: The orchestra playing in various rooms in random parts of the day,deck games such as shuffleboard,ring-toss, and board games inside like chess and backgammon.
