Titanic II: Meet the worst sequel ever

This time design the bulkheads so they go above E deck.

The Titanic was an ocean liner, not a cruise ship.

My iceberg will go on....

Can 'ya get any more negative about an idea than this article. If the man wants to spend HIS money building a ship, let him. With today's tech the only iceberg he is going to run into is the stupid press.

I heard that a replica of Titanic was going to be built about 7 or 8 years ago.....and that the original ( planned ) route would be retraced.   At that time, they were saying the reservations were booked solid.   This must be the same guy....but there was a delay or something.

Go for it! 

That's great, what will passage cost, anyone know.Would you like to be on the first complete crossing,I would.These writers always think their right ,I wonder how many things they wrote were turned down and later became good copy.If they keep everything to the period and don't try cheapo period copy out of bad materials it should be a grand crossing for the lady.

Actually there will be more icebergs being calved, not fewer. There is no "benefit" to global warming at all! And it was unusually warm in April 101 years ago; ships' captains had to plot courses farther south to skirt the worst of the bergs, pack ice & growlers.
There are more than a few criticisms about this whole fantasy, none of which have to do with jinxes or karma.  One is this: this bloke does NOT own the rights to the name Titanic, much less the design. At last recollection, the name at least is owned by RMS Titanic Inc., who own the actual wreck site. The design for the Olympic-class ocean liners is most likely still kept by Cunard Line, who bought out White Star Line after the Olympic's disastrous crash into the Nantucket Lightship forced them into bankruptcy. Besides, the design is flawed; not just the most obvious ones that killed Titanic, but others not many people are familiar with. The Olympic through her entire existence suffered cracks in her superstructure, and experienced "panting:" a heaving in and out of the ship's hull. This is why Titanic and Brittanic both had closed & glazed Promenade decks: to address these structural shortcomings. But modern ship architecture has left the Olympic-class a century behind. Modern ships have bow thrusters, a bow bulb that more efficiently cuts through water, azipod-style main thrusters instead of the old propellers & rudder design; the CGI graphic I saw has none of these modern elements (and you can have both the knife-edge bow of the Titanic AND the bulb, and still keep the homage!). On top of this--literally--the​re will be three dummy funnels instead of one, as this guy is also trying to replicate the four-funnel profile of the original!
While there will be novelty-seekers willing to dish out $1 MILLION per bed for the "privilege" of sailing her maiden voyage, there will be NO WAY he can run that ship long enough to justify the enormous costs involved, both with construction and operation. I've heard he intends to have it built in China for the slave labour there... which turns me off permanently from him on those grounds alone! And the shoestring operation needed to offset the construction costs? Recall the Oceanos near-miss; all passengers managed to get rescued... but no thanks to the captain & crew, who took all the lifeboats and abandoned them all on a sinking ship! No guarantees that WON'T happen here in case of an emergency!
One other thing: he isn't the only one who floated the idea of a Titanic-replica. This idea has been kicked around for an excess of 30 years. Each time they decided it wasn't worth the costs! Should say something...

I was think along the lnes of the article when I first a article about the rebuild. Seems like they are just tempting fate a little too much. You would have to be some king of nut to get on a ship modeled after one that sank, wear the same style clothes on the same route. About the only way I would get close to that thing would be if Kate Whinslet was acutally going to be on it.

If  had the money, I'd sail  on this ship. Finally a ship that's designed to look like a ship and not some huge amusement park.
