A giant plastic iceberg popping up in the water one night would be my contribution as the cruise’s director of entertainment. It’d be a hoot.
The makers of the Titanic II aren’t boasting about it being “unsinkable”—but they do promise it will have much better iceberg-detection technology than the original, along with plenty of lifeboats. Blue Star Line Cruises says the replica ship, which was delayed for years by a financial dispute, will make its maiden voyage in 2022, USA Today reports. The company says the ship’s maiden voyage will be from Dubai to Southampton, followed by a journey across the Atlantic, retracing the route its doomed predecessor followed in 1912.
The replica, which will cost an estimated $500 million to build and is being made in China instead of Belfast, is going to have 2,400 passengers and 900 crew, almost exactly the same number as the original, and a very similar cabin layout.
Testing fate. Probably will get blown up by a torpedo from an anonymous rogue nation.
With any luck, the most annoying Celine Dion will be on the maiden voyage and will hopefully go down with the ship.
Built with Chinese steel, what could possibly go wrong?
“How long can you tread water?”
Good Lord, let that ship rest in peace.
Have the ship identify as homosexual. When it hits an iceberg, it can sue as a hate crime.
The chamber pots will be a hoot
2022…just in time for the National Review Conservative Cruise during Trump’s second midterm. Better get hopping, Kaptain Kristol. Those deck chairs aren’t going to rearrange themselves.
What’s the compliment of Chinese made Lifeboats ?
A newspaper with the headline “The Chink Sinks” just flashed before my eyes.
Well, then, the Russians will have to discover its sunken carcass all over again. Ballard did not discover the original, by the way, in spite of the BS in our lying media.
Uh, no…not for me.
I don’t do water.
Sand, rocks, dirt is my domain.
And Ford, in a similarly wise markieting move, will introduce the Edsel II.
More great fun on board Titanic II.
Fill the swimming pool halfway with ice, for passengers to practice. Haw Haw.
Serve a cocktail named the “Capt. Smith”.
Hire Ice T as a passenger greeter: “Get yo’ ice on board, baby”.
First Port of call: Iceland.
Call the lower decks “Steerage”.
Halfway across the Atlantic, announce that “The wireless is broken”.
Find Lord Astor’s current relatives and let them cruise for free.
