After the novelty wears off will it survive in today's ear of cruising?  Arcade, bowling alley, ice skating rink, racetrack, rock climbing wall, water slides, golf simulator, casino, ice bar.... at least some of these are needed!

This will for sure be a short lived novelty if it ever happens. A ship with no modern amenities sailing a weekly transatlantic voyage. Too limited a market to be successful for more than a couple years.

If it is true to the original build, then I agree it will probably only make two or three sailings before being permanently stationed at a port as a tourist attraction where it mostly sails on events like New Year's Eve.

 

I don't think the general public realized just how much advancement has been made in personal comfort on these liners.

Not to mention the entertainment.

I will be interested if they have AYCE free lobsters every night and throw in an all inclusive drink package for free. 

 

 

 

OK, who knows what AYCE is?

I will be astonished if this thing ever gets built. The idea of providing passengers with period clothing is enough to make it logistically and economically unfeasible; aside from the fitting problem, how much will it cost to clean these garments each week? Will there be armed guards to shoot the third-class passengers if they try to come upstairs? Etc. etc. etc.....
