Todays modern cruise ships and ocean liners are required to meet all lifeboat requirements set by SOLAS. This is an organization which makes sure that all safety standards are met onboard any large passenger ship. The ships must have enough lifeboats to hold all the passengers and crew members with extra space included.
20 in each
Sadly, the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats, which is part of why so many people died. According to a thorough Wikipedia article, and verified with other historical sources, "Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats: 14 standard wooden Harland and Wolff lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each and four Englehardt "collapsible" lifeboats ... with a capacity of 47 people each." I enclose a link to tell you more.

Titanic's fourteen standard lifeboats, at 30 ft. long, could fit about 70 people if need be. The two cutters and four Englehardts were slightly smaller and thus could carry slightly fewer people.

population
The lifeboats varied but there was a direct correlation between time and utilization - in other words, the first ones went out with many unused seats and the last ones were overflowing.
Two senators per state, the number of representatives varies according to the population of each state.
The Titanic was a tragedy in that there were twenty lifeboats that went down only half full of passengers. Those twenty lifeboats were only enough to hold half again of the total occupation of the entire ship. Today's ships must have enough lifeboats to carry each and every person riding the ship.
