Hopefully the first voyage will be in warm weather with no icebergs.

I think I’ll just wait for the Hindenburg 2 before I make my first transatlantic crossing... Such a difficult decision though... Freezing to death in the Atlantic, or burning to death in New Jersey.

I’d bring 497 1/2 feet of rope along just in case...

Should be renamed Titanic III. The title of Titanic II belongs to the unending Crooked Hillary presidential campaign.

Titanic II to set sail in 2022, retrace the route of the original ship

Can we guy up all the tickets and GIFT them to some selected dems?

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.

It doesn’t make any sense to replicate those in a modern cruise liner...

Of all the sins the gods despise, the greatest of these is hubris.

Hopefully, it doesn't retrace the route all the way to the ocean floor.

Hopefully no one will be challenging God this time “God himself couldn’t sink this ship!!”

If anyone says anything like that, get off the boat.

Better steel. Better nav equipment. Better watertight flood doors. Better lifesaving equipment. Better communications. Better decision. Making.

There are so many things to improve. That said, a retro new Titanic sounds fun.

Bigger rudder.
More Lifeboats.
No trying to set speed records.

It’s not a “replica”. It’s a restomod.

Now that’s a good idea. I wonder if they’ll travel at the same speed with the same departure time.

"Hopefully the first voyage will be in warm weather with no icebergs. "

They made a movie about that, too:

Extremely unlucky and unacceptable name for a boat.

Utterly irresponsible and unseamanlike to name a boat Titanic.

No decent captain or crew would serve her.

Disgusting.

No thanks. I’ll stay on dry land.
