Another thing that I'm sure of is the multitude of morons who are going to stand at the very edge of the ship's bow shouting at the top of their lungs, "I'm King of the World"!!
Some people might consider traveling on the Titanic II, a unique opportunity, almost historical in circumstance. As far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is a publicity stunt. It may initially sell out on the first few voyages but after awhile the company will surely go bankrupt in this day and age despite the success of the modern ocean vacation cruisers. Besides, who would want to travel the Titanic II after the very first voyage (even if it survives the trip to New York)? The original Titanic never had that sort of luxury.
To me, I wouldn't take a trip on it even if I received free passage in the most luxurious suite, the entire project, idea of a Titanic replica gives me the chills as being quite macabre.
If it will take me across the Pacific without squishing me into life-threatening shapes which take two weeks to decompress, I am willing to consider it. I’ve looked into traveling via cargo ships but haven’t quite figured the thing out.
I hate air travel.
I dont think I could ever book a passage on that ship. I’m not worried about sinking. Its just too creepy.

What could possibly go wrong?
If it’s coal burning the green weenies will pitch a fit.
In other news. A group in Greenland is calving off an exact replica of an Iceberg originally calves from a local glacier back in 1912.
Irresistible force? Meet immovable object.
That’s going to take one mother of a 3D printer to complete!
The maiden cruise of Titanic II will host the inaugural ball of Odinga’s third term.
What, no one’s laughing?
I sure hope its not an exact replica of the Titanic.If it is it will have the same structural weaknesses that caused the original to sink.
Somehow I don’t think that’s the case.
Is the ship’s crest a hand with its middle-finger extended towards Heaven?
But for a two week voyage? Give me one of those ugly new floating hotels with hundreds of reasonably priced big, comfortable outside cabins, every single time.
I would rather not tempt irony that much. The first Titanic was “unsinkable” which was tempting enough. Now we have the second which will be ‘really unsinkable”. Thanks but no thanks.
I wouldn’t sail on it. I’m not superstitious but... That’s just tempting fate, or flipping it off, a little too much. The sea doesn’t have much of a sense of humor, particularly for mankind thinking we have power over it. Remember, most of our ships and aircraft to this day still run and hide from storms.
Will there be a Titanic (1) museum onboard?
Hopefully there will be some on board off-center ballast tanks to give an authentic list during mid-cruise.
As far as sub par steel the first one had high suplphur steel, Chinese steel isabout as good, so it will have basically the same quality steel, marginally better.
being quite macabre.
Wonder if they’ll hire ladies and gentlemen to stroll the first class area dressed in 1900’s splendor. THAT would be creepy.
Heck, I’d pay good money to eat gruel and sleep in a in steerage bunkhouse... ok... /sarc
It will doubtlessly have modern staterooms, but the problem is that modern windows and balconies that cruisers expect would make the ship look all wrong.
