Do cruise ships have to have lifeboats for everyone on board?
Yes. This rule was actually put into place after the horrors of the Titanic. All ships must have enough lifeboats for everyone on board. Yes my girlfriend thought after titanic 3D that we should tell new ship companies that they must get enough lifeboats. She works for the prison service, so she is comfy with things that have not changed in 100 years. xx Every boat must cater for all, in the event of lifeboats deployed.
What is significant about the quantity of lifeboats carried on board the Titanic?
there wasn't enough to save everyone on-board the ship. it was built to be indestructible so they didn't think that lifeboats would be needed.

The law is now that every cruise ship must have enough lifeboats for 1.5 times as many passengers on board.
How many lifeboats did the Titanic have on board when it hit the Iceberg?

How many lifeboats were on board of the Titanic and why weren't there enough for all the passengers?

Did the titanic have enough lifeboats tomet the board of trade regulations?

Were the people scared when they were on board the titanic?
I would think so, yes. Set yourself in their place, the ship was sinking and it was not enough lifeboats to everyone and you knew that you probably would die... Would you be scared? I know that I would have been.
What was the problem with the ship that caused such a major loss of life?
Well the major problem was that the boat did not carry enough lifeboats. it only carried 20 lifeboats, which could only carry 52% of the people on board if filled to the maximum occupancy, and all the lifeboats were not completely filled.
Did anyone survive in the lifeboats?
There was enough room in the lifeboats for all the women and children on board. The total number of women and children was 170 while the lifeboats could carry 180 people.
What was the life boat issue during the titanic?
The issue is that there were not enough lifeboats. The Board of Trade regulations specified how many lifeboats must be carried on all types of ship, and the maximum size of ship listed was 10,000 tons. So the 46,000-ton Titanic had enough lifeboats for a 10,000-ton ship, which was enough to satisfy the regulations. They knew that but they said the Titanic was unsinkable and therefore would act as its own lifeboat.
