    I personally don't think I could knowing the history of the Titanic. Though perhaps irrational, I'd be thinking to myself that this thing is going to sink in the middle of the ocean at any moment.

    I certainly would journey on it there'll be a lot less icebergs in the sea because of global warming so the same disaster is less likely to happen again.

    Would love to, but I thought the whole Titanic II project was scrapped several years ago?

    Can't see it happening. It appears to be the pipe-dream of a bat-$hit crazy guy.

    Even if it did - what's the point? The purpose of the Titanic was to transfer people from US to Europe and vice versa. It's a hell of a lot cheaper and faster to just take a plane.

    For those who enjoy cruises etc, Titanic II will be very dull. After the first hour or two, the thrill will wear off and you will realise that you miss the bars/clubs/pools/casinos/games etc that modern cruise ships offer.

    I would - but will bring my own inflatable dingy. One of the wee ones from Lidl should do it.

    Titanic II was an even bigger disaster than the first movie

    No. Keep your money for pints of Smithwicks from the bar.

    A cabin door will do the job. I saw it in a documentary.

    well the titanics sister ships were ok, granted another sank but it was during the war and hit by a mine so yes i would for sure.
    The captain was to blame for the titanic, not the ship

    I'd totally sail on it. Assuming all the staff are CVD19 free and there were no ports of call and enough essentials on board to sail us right out of 2020 and into a glorious future full of vaccinations and ethical elections and economic happiness, I'd stay on the damn thing indefinitely.
