Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. For those that may be interested: Although a bit intense and a bit long (with a robot voice) this video gives a good general 'overview' of Titanic II design.
  2. I believe the design is now complete. Tank testing happened in 2013. Construction has not began yet. Tank test here:

  4. It's not a publicity stunt! Palmer really has spent money on this project and Deltamarin, the VERY respected naval Architects have been working on the design for years. The hull has even undergone water tank testing.
  5. QM2 has 30 ish knots, but rarely uses it. I belive a higher speed is not cost effective for such a big ship. Nobody travels on the QM2 for speed. She could do the trans in 5 days, but this is extended to conserve expensive fuel.
  6. It's a fine line between authenticity and practicality!
  7. The best way to make money from crusing is to build another floating resort!
  8. Palmer has 23 Billion ish and is 69. Maybe he not worried about profit from the ship!
  9. There will be three classes of dining rooms like the original ship. The steerage one is basic decor Irish stew etc.
  10. ...because it will look like the original Titanic, inside and out! 😉
  11. Clive has not revealed all the details yet: but I guess Titanic Ils steerage will be like regular cruise ship inside cabins, with private bathrooms.
  12. Would any modern cruise passenger share a cabin , with multiple bunk beds and six communal toilets and a couple of baths for hundreds of steerage passengers?
  13. Lol. Due to SOLAS regulations, you cant build a replica Titanic in this day and age. It will be a modern ship which looks like the 1912 one. It wont have proper steerage cabins either!
  14. Well you know the maiden cruise, but I believe it will sail around the world.
  15. If anybody want's more Info, there is a Titanic II news blog here: https://titanicll.wordpress.com
