They did see the iceberg; but they spotted it too late. They started to steer away, but the Titanic had a smaller rudder, and it did not have the benefit of help from the engines. The Titanic just couldn't turn away fast enough to avoid a collision.

∙ 6y agoTypically it's easy to see icebergs, which was part of Titanic's undoing. Normally, rough water sloshed up against the berg, causing a visual contrast and spray, but there were no waves that night. There was a stoker who had been to sea for twenty-six years and had never seen it so calm and flat as that night. It was like being On a Sea of Glass.
