They are buildinga Titanic II? What the heck!?
I know that the odds of something happening to the Titanic II are infinitesimal but, who wants to be reminded of a tragedy every single minute of your leisure cruise? Will they have a marathon of Titanic movies during the voyage? This sounds like a stupid marketing ploy for Titanic buffs.
