I must be 100 next year

I had to share this with all of you, my 7 year old daughter told her friends at school that I was on the Titanic!  I thought that was priceless.

Titanic Memorial Cruise

I mentioned the Titanic Memorial Cruise in one of my posts, here is the brochure which you can download about the cruise and the itinerary.  I will have more details here soon.

Titanic II

A British cruise company is organising a cruise to mark the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the titanic, the ship will trace the exact route taken by the titanic and leave on exactly the same day as the titanic as well as having exactly the same number of passengers (not sure if that would include any stow aways that they did not account for).

The cruise leaves Southampton on the 8th of April 2012 and will arrive at the exact point where the titanic sank on the 14th of April, it is "expected" to dock in New York on the 15th of April 2012 the exact date 100 years on that the Titanic originally sank, OR WILL IT?

Apparently tickets for the cruise start at 1,999 Pounds sterling and go up to 7,995 - I somehow don't think I would tempt fate, would you?

RMS Titanic - 15th April 1912

Today is the 97th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I don't think there are still any survivors alive today, but I could be wrong. I have just been reading all about it again on "Wikipedia" and of course it reminded me of the Oceanos - especially since a few nights before we sailed, the original Titanic movie (the old black & white one) had just been on TV and of course everyone had watched it.

My now husband, was joking with me after the movie, saying that I had better pack my water wings because the Oceanos too was going to hit and ice berg and sink, well I think the ice berg was a bit far fetched, but of course she too did sink.

The story of the Oceanos however is far different from the Titanic, as not one person lost their lives.
Here is the link to "The Titanic", worth reading.
