Re: Largest Cruise Ship in the World

You obviously aren't familiar with the whole Titanic tragedy and why 1,500 souls parished. Only ~800 people survived from the Titanic because there was only room in the lifeboats for that many. Not to mention, had the boats been loaded full from the get-go, they could have saved more.
I'm not going to say any more then that though... if the HUGE advances in radar, communications, water tight-compartments, and safely laws been established, then perhaps I'd agree with your "Titanic II" statement.

aannndd, i know the thing isnt going near ice, but what about a reef, another ship, or sand??? i mean, the Tricolor (carrying the volvos and such) sank in 30 minutes after colliding with another boat...and a few days later a German cargo ship hit the wreckage. i guess radar doesnt work in the fog
thats all, points made from both parties
