If the Titanic sails again in 2012 would you be on it ?

Question

The 100 Anniversary of the Titanic is set for 2012.
Would you have the nerve to take this very upscale voyage ?
(funny thing Noah's Arc made it, the Titanic did not).

Many people will pay top dollar to be a part of history. If money were no problem would you be curious enough to go ?

Answer 1

Nope. I think that I will stick with Carnival.

Answer 2

I would surely want to see it. Sail on it, well since we know the fate I would have to pass on that. I have sailed on over 100 cruises though and I love and adore cruising.

Since the sinking of the Titanic back in 1912, there is a seat on a lifeboat for every passenger and crew member so it did affect cruising forever.

Don't forget in those days cruising was the only way to go from Continent to continent though. Today concept of cruising is very different from what it was in those days. That was truly grand class cruising!

The company that sailed the Titanic was White Star Lines.

It merged with Cunard Lines, another Brotich Cruise Line in 1934, creating Cunard-White Star Limited.

White Star contributed 10 ships to the new company while Cunard contributed 15 ships.

In 1947, Cunard acquired the 38% of Cunard White Star it didn't already own, and on December 31, 1949, it acquired Cunard White Star's assets and operations, and reverted to using the name "Cunard." From the time of the 1934 merger, the house flags of both lines had been flown on all its ships, with each ship flying the flag of its original owner above the other; after 1950, only Georgic and Britannic, the last surviving White Star liners, continued to fly the White Star burgee on a regular basis, below the Cunard house flag. All other ships flew the Cunard flag over the White Star flag until 1967.

The French passenger tender Nomadic, the last surviving vessel of the White Star Line, was purchased by the Northern Ireland Office in January 2006. She has since been returned to Belfast, where she is to be restored by her original builders, Harland and Wolff. She is intended to serve as the centerpiece of a museum dedicated to the history of Atlantic steam, the White Star Line, the company, and the ship they made, the famous Titanic.

In 1998, Cunard became one of a number of lines owned by Carnival Corporation, now Carnival Corporation & PLC. In January 2005 the business, assets and liabilities of Cunard Line Ltd were transferred to Carnival plc, ending the Cunard name as a business entity - the name still appears on the side of Queen Mary 2 and sails under the Cunard brand, but it is controlled by Princess Cruises in California.

Carnival Cruises owns Princess.

You can sail on the majestic Queen Mary 2 First Class transatlantic, like the Titanic attempted to do. You could find a cabin for around $1,500 per person for the 6 days sailing, or you could take the Grand Suite for $25,000 per person as well. Your choice! Remember though, you got to fly home one way or better yet, turn around and sail it back. Same price though!

Noah's Arc? I would have to pass on that one all together! Been on enough cruise with monkeys and animals! LOL

Answer 3

If someone built a replica of the titanic, built exactly as it was built back then I would not go on it. But if someone built a ship using current technology and named it the Titanic, YES I would go if you gave me a free ticket. The key for me is "current ship building technology" which would include not only better hulls, better radar and sonar, but also better life boats and provisions for emergencies.

Remember that the owner of the Titanic eschewed having enough life boats because he was positive that the ship would never sink. And, ships being built these days are huge compared to the Titanic.

Answer 4

I would have to say No. All these people are saying that if the ship sank, they would just send out technology (whatever that means) and the life boats are safer. I don't give a ****, there is still wildlife in the ocean, sharks come mind. And say your the only person that gets screwed and doesn't get a boat. Well you sir our drowning

Answer 5

the company that owned it is still sailing ships, Cunard
and they are a luxury liner and cater to the upscale crowd so I would not count on it well beyond my price range
for 4 night $1000
and $2900 for 35 days (this one is sold out too!!!)

Answer 6

Well im upsessed with the titanic, movie and real one.
So yes i would, because in this day if it sank no one would probably die because they would just send technology out to save people, and people would not panic as much.

Answer 7

I would go on a replica of the ship that has the latest in safety technology.

Answer 8

Sure. Now we have Radar and early warning collision alarms.

Answer 9

It depends, is Jack going to be on it? Then yes I would! lol

Answer 10

Only if I can bunk with Leonardo!
