Just wondering what people thought of this new Queen Mary 2. It seems to me that they’ve made a monstrosity to pack as many people in as possible. But having said that is there really such a huge market out there to fill such a mammoth ship ? Someone said I’d be surprised. But for me going on that ship & being trapped with a lot of people I might not want to spend my holiday with would be my idea of hell. The same would go for most modern day cruises. Somehow it dose not capture any of the tradition or elegance from the past other than being “the largest” liner ever built.
I love all the old liners like the Olympic, Aquitania, Mauretania but this has to be one of the most ugly things I have ever seen. The architect said he tried to incorporate some of the old characteristic’s of the old Queen Mary ? Yet no matter how much I tired to see it as beautiful it still looked more like a floating block of flats . Did not matter what angle it was photographed from it was still hideous to me.
Were the Japanese not going to build a replica Titanic a few years back ? Surly a Titanic 2 would be more of a winner so long as they followed the original Titanic design rather than a 70’s block of flats. My father seemed to think the Titanic replica probably did not happen because these firms want to make money and with the Titanic being so much smaller than QM2 they would not be able to pack them in, even if the Titanic replica were a bit larger than the original. But then they could just make 2? Having said that then I suppose there might be a lot of controversy of some people thinking a Titanic replica would be in bad taste but I am sure that would not stop the crowds of people who would come to look at it. And there would probably be a waiting list of 2 years to book up for a holiday on board.
Anyway maybe I am wrong and some of you think the QM2 is great. I’m sure one day they will get round to building a Titanic 2
