'The most expensive Grand Duplex cabins,..'
I just wonder who could afford this expense and what these people do. Not jealous just curious.

I read long ago that the Queen Mary, in ww2 as a troop ship, had bow decking pealed back "like a sardine can" by a freak wave during a winter crossing; maybe her successor will fare better ! In the 60s I watched the 'Mary leaving Cherbourg for her last transatlantic crossing before going to Long Beach.

I've been wondering what kind of security measures they took to screen passengers, crew, etc.

If the huge, towering ship rides out the storm . . . IF??? Oh, man, the Luddites in the lamestream press are smacking their lips and hoping for the worst. Must be cozy in that bed with the islamists.
Beautiful ship. Wish I could be on her.

Believe it or not, from talking with some people in the cruiseboat industry, the highest class luxury cabins are always the ones to sell out first.

I hope no one quipped "She's unsinkable."That's ok, but if anyone said "God Himself could not sink this ship!" jump overboard.
