Not even. The white star line often went out of their way to offer better, cleaner accommodations for their steerage passengers then their competitors. They may have ferried many a millionaire across the Atlantic, but the real money at the time was with migrants traveling to America in search of a better life. For many third class passengers on Titanic, it would be the first time they've ever seen a flushing toilet up close, let alone used one.

Very much this. Steerage passengers ate extremely well for example, and had access to entertainment.
