Feeling lucky? Following the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic (which took place yesterday, 97 years ago) the NY Post reports that people "are lining up to reserve a spot on a cruise ship that will follow the Titanic's ill-fated route in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the liner's trip to the bottom of the Atlantic." The ship will depart in April of 2012, and is expected to make it all the way to New York this time (fingers crossed!). How much does a spot on the ship cost this time around? $3,000. Quite a deal considering that if they followed the original prices today, it would cost anywhere from $172 (third class) to $69,600 (first class)! The ticket price includes food served to "match the sumptuous menus on the original voyage; the entertainment will include music and dancing in the style featured in those glorious times and there will be a chance to hear first hand from historians who have studied the Titanic story." Let's hope they have enough life boats this time around.

Sounds a bit tedious to me. Are they planning a Hindenberg II ?
A HIndenburg II would be great. People who make fun of the old zeppelins generally know nothing about them other than the Hindenburg went up in flames. Passengers who actually rode one told of serenely floating in the sky, standing at large windows looking out and downward. There were private staterooms and lounges and some said it was like being on an ocean liner in the sky. Sure beats being belted into an aisle seat with a big guy next to you and the seat in front reclined into your knees.
What are the odds they'll try to get Winslet and DiCaprio to sail on the cruise? Winslet is still fairly busy, but DiCaprio isn't exactly packing them in at the box office anymore. Disappointing that it's on just another cruise ship, though. Some company proposed building a replica of the Titanic (with modern equipment and engines) a few years ago, but I guess nothing became of it.
Hopefully this ship is pirate-proof. Icebergs aren't much of a problem these days.
Will they be navigating with 1912-era equipment as well?
Hardly any rats? I hope.
Umm....no thank you.
Please tell me they will reenact the fatal iceberg crash.
Brilliant!
