Hello again,
If you look at the site of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, you may
have an idea of the possible luxury on some specific liners.

I guess when looking at the Cunard site, you may found similar
descriptions....

Good morning,
I am not convinced at all.
Of course, the segregation between classes and ships was a lot more
effective than nowadays.
These who could afford "luxury" classes has entertainment.
These who were in the lower classes ( 3 or even 4) were almost with the
fret.
To go with this statement, the sophistication of the entertainment on the
liners between Europe and New-York was incomparable with the one between
Europe and Africa or Far East. The style of the passengers was not the
same. The purposes of the journeys were different.
Regards,
Jean-Louis Crespin
