A few years ago while in Las Vegas, we went to the Titanic Exhibit. They had mock-ups of the various cabins. A first class cabin/state room that the Astor’s were assigned to was about the size of a second bedroom in most normal houses and the bed was only a full size. I remember the plaque saying that room would cost a passenger over $20,000 of today’s dollars.

Also, it’s a lot smaller than modern cruise ships. Less expensive to build and maintain.
They’ll make money on it.
