Just a quibble, but the name of the ships weren't "
The Titanic" and "
The Olympic." They were simply "Titanic" and "Olympic."
However, I did notice that you got the "RMS" designation correct. Many people erroneously refer to them as "HMS," which designates a military vessel. "Titanic" was a Royal Mail Steamer (or Steamship): RMS.

I went to a Titanic museum in Vegas a few years ago. Even the 3rd class passengers were dressed in dresses and suits and ties. Now today, anything goes on cruises...

This one blows my mind: Titanic compared to a modern cruise liner
