This liner replicating Titanic's disastrous voyage. Crammed with Americans dressed up in period costumes and having a "great time".

Accepting that there will be a number of passengers with a genuine reason for wanting to pay their respects to their lost relatives, or even celebrate their rescue, I just feel that the rest of it is sheer bad taste.

First I have heard of it, but sounds rather stupid unless most of them drown!
I mean, what's the point unless you do it properly!

Bound to get people trying to make a party out of it unfortunately, but it is the people who are there for genuine personal reasons who are of importance.

The others are of no consequence.

I can understand someone who has a connection with the Titanic undertaking a voyage of homage, but to get dressed up and have a good time seems very tasteless.
What's next, dress up in a Kimono and party on down at the Fukushima reactor?

I can see where they're coming from, I went to a Fred West party last night and apart from the digging it was a great night.

Rather distasteful in my opinion. There are better ways of remembering the event than making a party of it. It could only be the Americans
