Not me, that's for sure.

[friedgreentomato]

[aelmpvw]

why not? .. couldn't happen again surely

[Zeuhl]

In the interests of authenticity

Will there be lots of cheap seats in steerage reserved for people in shawls and flat caps?

[giveup]

Wouldn't fancy it. I would be scared to go to bed.

Free with each ticket bought, your very own personal iceberg (lettuce of course )

Yes - As long as they didn't play that b***dy song.

[anotheoldgit]

Yes how bizarre is that?

I wonder how much the travel insurance will be for that trip.

And can you imagine the number of young couples who will want to stand, arms round each other, on the bow of the liner?

[Baldric]

One lump, or two?

// I wonder how much the travel insurance will be for that trip. //

Why should it be any different to what you would normally pay to go on a cruise ?

Spoken in jest Bazile, spoken in jest.

If they are copying the initial design and build, then i doubt it will be allowed to sail on safetry grounds.

If it is built to modern design standards and simply replicates the original above the waterline, then there should be no problem.

If they are replicating on-board conditions, there will be few takers, it will still be too spartan for modern tastes.

It was initially designed as un-sinkable, couldn't be any safer than that.

If its as opulent as some parts of the original was, yep, definitely!

[emmie]

no, but then i can't see what the attraction is of being trapped on a floating restaurant, that is all that some people go for, to stuff themselves stupid, and lie around a pool, not for me thanks.

[dave50]

Quite right em10, couldn't agree more.

[Zeuhl]

/It was initially designed as un-sinkable, couldn't be any safer than that./

clearly the design failed to meet the specification

[Nibble]

Just don't ask for ANYTHING "on the rocks" at the bar!! :)

[emmie]

once had to sit through some friends video of their Mediterranean cruise, it was like Butlins at sea.

"some people go for, to stuff themselves stupid, and lie around a pool," - bliss, pure bliss!
