BILLIONAIRE CLIVE PALMER BUILDING TITANIC II - FOR A ROMANIC BYGONE ERA VOYAGE - BUT WITH PLENTY OF LIFEBOATS AND TOILETS

NPR - THE TITANIC II - BEING BUILD FOR A BILLIONAIRE BY THE CHINESE - TAKE A LOOK!

EXCERPTS:  "There will be capacity for 2,435 passengers and 900 crew. There will also be lifeboats that can carry 2,700 and a life rafts with an additional capacity of 800...."Just like in 1912 there will be three classes of passenger and those with different tickets will not be able to move between the classes, though there will be more toilets for the lower decks than the original. Everyone on board will however be provided with early-20th-century-style clothes and undergarments in their cabins to get them in the mood. Whilst there will be air conditioning there will be no TVs and no Internet in a bid to get back to the 'romance' of a bygone age."

Ship board affairs and romances can still be had today,  though the grounding and flipping of the Costa Concordia and other boat disasters like the Korean ferry, are cautionary tales.  It may be difficult to get the whole truth from booking agents, but if you are a woman and you are hoping to meet a man on a cruise, be aware that some cruise lines/ships/itineraries cater to families and children, others to senior citizens (where the women outnumber the men greatly), others to singles.  Some vacations are more exotic than others with visits to various ports.  WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS TURN IT INTO OVEREATING THREE MEALS A DAY and disembark five to ten pounds heavier!   - Missy
