4. An Expensive Trip
First class tickets were $4,350, second class were $1,750 and third class were $30. This was a luxury cruise and the tickets for first and second class were anything but cheap. Remember this is 1912, and even $30 was a good chunk to be able to enjoy the maiden voyage of one of the most historic ships in history. First class, as you read earlier, did get the finest accommodations from room to food and must have enjoyed their five days before the sinking immensely.
