As long as no one ever refers to it as unsinkable, I'd be willing to go on a cruise on it.

As you probably guessed, I was refering to the Titanic. That looks like a nice ship, though.

Word to the wise: If you're going to book passage, do it on the SECOND cruise. Trust me.

I just hope some crazy maniac would not try to do something stupid. If I am not mistaken this is a first Trans ocean ship build on this scale since 1969 I might be wrong though.

What a but-ugly ship. A floating Portman inspired hotel.

My thoughts exactly. Her first crossing is going to get a lot of press, and not only in the shipping/cruise trades.

Those pictures are scrumptuous though, aren't they? In a year or so after she's shaken down, I might have to forego my bi-yearly cruise on RCL and give her a shot.

Looks like a Caribbean cruiser rather than an ocean liner. Lots of superstructure. Too much.

Some good shots of the ship, Thanks!

I wouldn't mind taking a ride somewhere on the QM2, it looks like it's well equipped, I like the spa stuff myself. jacuzzi, sauna, massage.... it helps keep me loose between the frequent eating and copious amounts of libacious fluids... burrrrppppp! :-o 'cuse me ..

I just hope that the Royal Navy has some defense arms with highly trained shooters on board.

Islamokazies are as cold as icebergs.

OSB "Q-ships" are on the prowl as well as explosives laden Kodiacs.

Still annoyed at the ungrateful Iranians I guess. Actually I was sorry that they never built the Titanic 2!
