Oops, I might've posted this in the wrong forum, this is my first post so sorry!
Also.....I'm not sure if this is the wrong or right section of the forum or not for this.
From what I have read, passengers were restricted to their class.
First class could only go in areas for their class, etc. They were not permitted to mingle with each other.
The meeting of "Jack and Rose" in the 1997 "Titanic" movie, would of course have been an impossibility in real life."Jack" would have been most likely have been forceabley escorted back to Steeerage and likewise "Rose" to First Class if they had attempted a get-together. White Star was very strict on the class segregation. LOL
I'm not so sure about "Annette and Gifford" in the 1953 "Titanic" movie. "Gifford Rogers" and "The Tennis Team from Purdue" were of course of a much higher class than "Jack Dawson" and maybe First Claas accommodations and trip arrangements had been supplied by the Purdue Alumni. And "Gifford" didn't have any problems in dressing for the Captain's Table. He just needed "To get my blue serge suit pressed." Of course this all pure fiction in both cases ! LOL.
I have a question along these lines, too.
Would any passengers, first class, especially first class, be allowed to go up on the compass platform on the upper deck ? I am assuming the answer would be a definite "No !" since this would appear to be a highly sensitive area , open only to the Officers and Quartermasters and under lock and key. But it would seem to be a temptation as a very good place for sight-seeing.
