I think the Disney and Oasis class ships are nicer than most cruise ships, but personally for me Titanic is the most beautiful ship ever. We can appreciate Titanic’s size even more when you realize she was 100% handcrafted.

I feel like a better comparison would have been Titanic vs Queen Mary 2, which is technically more along the lines of what would be the successor the Titanic.

[@vistavisionary]

Why are we comparing an ocean liner with a cruise ship? They are totally different.

[@maskedmarvel]

Okay, sure their specific purpose is different, but it's a totally fair comparison to make because they're both the largest passenger ships in their time. Saying they're nothing alike is nitpicking

[@BobbyT.]

Still wish they could find a way to make a luxury cruise ship that actually looks good like an old school ship

[@GGtheRealest]

why? it wouldn't be very luxurious. you mean you want a nostalgic ship with somewhat luxurious amenities. these other ones like the icon come with full blown modern luxury, they're just ugly ships to look at. like mentioned in the video, it's not about the look of the ship outside, it's about inside. and you can hate on the ship and critique all the things you want but... get on one of these cruises man. they're a fantastic time.

[@franks471]

@@GGtheRealest a lot of modern cars look like roller skates or high top sneakers to me. there's something to be said about aesthetics. Take music for instance.. the last 20 years have been pretty much all the same. Things may be better today, but it doesn't seem like it at times. I guess modern cruise ships are a bit ugly tho but I mostly wonder how those things stay stable. I mean look at them, must be sorcery ;)

[@GGtheRealest]

@@franks471 that's just the modern tech for you lol I'm amazed at how heavy they are and how much material is used to make em. Shits wild. Idk about the music or car thing tho lol me personally I only own/drive classic/old cars. But ya gotta admit, those new cars are crazy good on gas, they're fast, they'll save your life in a crash, they have all this tech in em to do so many things

[@camf33]

No one is denying or debating the amenities you can do nowadays, the argument is about elegance.. bottom like all we get is floating buildings on a hull. Case closed.

[@robertgaines-tulsa]

People like to compare them, but they don't compare. Titanic was and ocean liner. It had a very similar purpose to modern airliners. It gets you from point A to point B. Titanic just did it with comfort in mind because it took a few days to cross the ocean. It was by no means a vacation. Cruise ships are mobile vacation resorts. Cruise ships take you back to your starting point at the end of the voyage. Climate Change may even bring back ocean liners. It sounds like ships would use less fuel per person, and you can carry more people than planes with vastly more comfort. I mean, if you're not in a hurry to cross the ocean, maybe have a mini vacation a long the way. It sounds more interesting than being cramped for 12 hours. As for Titanic 2, they can't remake Titanic. From my understanding, it would be against maritime rules to have 3rd class, not that anyone would want it. The good thing is that they can put in more staterooms since they won't need the boilers. Passengers weren't allowed in the boiler and engine rooms anyway.

[@scaleworksRC]

That helmet thing may look ugly from the outside, but I bet the sun setting on the ocean looks nice from in there. Cruise ships are like 24 hour cities on the water. It's an amazing experience. You don't have to do everything either.

[@mrnapolean1]

You can step out on Titanic's boat deck and watch the sunset across the ocean. Or promenade deck if you're suite has one.

[@Coop1250]

The titanic is mid. What the hell were you supposed to do on there besides drink? A cruise ship you can do everything from mini golf to casino

[@mrnapolean1]

@@Coop1250 You know what else has? Mini golf and casinos? Las Vegas. But yeah I get what you're coming from. Modern cruise ships have more amenities, but the titanic would just be more for the nostalgic factor.

[@Coop1250]

[@SkepticalChris]

The key differences between Modern Cruise Ships like the Icon of the Seas, to Titanic are two reasons: technology, and purpose. Modern Cruise Ships are essentially floating hotels and entertainment complexes that take circular routes, they are not for transporting anything except their passengers. That's why they feature such grand and over the top entertainment facilities like huge dance floors, casinos, ballrooms, open spaces and atriums, they are to perform the role of multiple entertainment excursions within its own hull. Titanic was a transport vessel, not primarily made for entertainment. It was meant to take people from A to B, and it was also a mail transport ship and also some cargo. These vessels relied on transportation to make money while Cruise ships rely on entertainment to make money. And technology of course is vastly different, the construction of modern ships use more advanced, lighter and stronger materials that push the limits of the ships. Titanic was limited by the tech of the day, which didn't even include welding. Modern cruise ships don't even have rudders anymore, with their propellers as independent pods placed under the vessels. And Royal Caribbean has 26 active ships in their fleet, the majority of them include the "Of the Seas" in their names. Starting with the Sovereign of the Seas, (a ship I went on before) all their ships included that in their names.

[@mrnapolean1]

I have to agree with Depressed Ginger. Modern cruise ships look so ugly.

[@luisvelez1952]

Can the modern Cruise ships carries 25,000 passengers and workers in them?

[@larry4111]

Exactly, thank you. I tell this to people all the time. A cruise ship is an all-inclusive resort. It just happens to be floating and, as an added bonus, you can wake up in different countries every day. An ocean liner is a mode of transportation, like a plane. There's no comparison other than that they are both seaworthy vessels.

[@davidlafleche1142]

Titanic was a work of art. Modern cruise ships are nothing more than condos stacked on a boat. I would have loved to ride on the Andrea Doria or Queen Mary, too; but there is absolutely nothing interesting about modern ships.

[@davinp]

Great explanation. The Titanic was made before airplanes were invented and that was the only way to travel across the ocean to another country. People immigrating to the US from Brittan. Today's ships are primarily used for vacation

[@Clay44444]

From what I read, cruise ships are basically a tour bus. They’re not meant to set sail across the pacific ocean like titanic which leads to these cruise ships being way bigger

[@MacXpert74]

The Titanic WAS the biggest ship when it was launched. But 'the largest' was measured in its gross tons displacement, not it size. The Olympic and Titanic are actually identical in size, with the Britannic also virtually the same size, only a few inches longer.

[@issytwo]

😮 I appreciate this video comparison. Did not realize Titanic was so small compared to the ships today.

[@oufukubinta]

Well the Titanic isn't that much smaller than most ships today - it's just that all the "Something of the Seas" series are ridiculously humongous

[@SeaGuy899]

The Titanic in the 1997 James Cameron movie is in fact, only 90% Scale to the actual Titanic that sailed the ocean in 1912

[@captainjake7417]

I love the design of MOST modern ships but nothing can compare to Oceanliners My favorite ship is the RMS Britannic.

[@davinp]

An Iceberg patrol watches for icebergs in the shipping lanes and warns ships. This is why sinking ships are very rare today

thats wut im saying it looks way more impressive and imo the design is a breathe of fresh air compared to the titanic. but that logic a pirate ship looks the best.

[@chrisserfass8635]

Before Britannic was launched, SS Imperator und SS Vaterland of HAPAG were steaming across the north Atlantic. They were Imperator-class trio. Note the size difference between these German liners and the Olympic-class.

It's how they did business back than similar to smart phones each year the record breaking ship would be surpassed by another ship 1in longer, a few pounds heavier, 1 knot faster or a little bit more luxurious depending on its purpose

[@mudman6156]

You seem to have forgotten that the Titanic was in fact, the largest ship afloat when she left on her maidan voyage. And since we rank the size of ships based on their weight, the Titanic still wins, because without a doubt, she’s still by far, the heaviest ship. Only she’s not of the afloat category. All that water inside her makes her considerably heavier than any other ship, however, the Costa Concordia was probably even heavier despite only being about half sunk, because that half that was was still larger than the entirety of the Titanic.

[@paulwoodford1984]

modern ships are atrocious to look at. They look like prison ships. Titanic is so elegant.

[@rodhayes7777]

I know.....but the Blue Star Line Titanic II will be so smooth! It'll still outclass the modern vessels. Looking forward to the return of the 1912 Olympic Class ocean liner!

How do you figure almost double the length? Titanic is 300ft smaller in length than the Symphony, not like 600 foot which would be almost double.

I used to work there Symphony of The Seas. I was a Maritime Security that assigned to that cruise ship a few years ago. Until I decided to quit because it was so boring for me, then I took the job offer from Evergreen Cargo Ship company same thing I'm doing Maritime Security for the ship, The company they got me a brand new FN P-90 sub machine gun, Walther pistol and HK MG-36 and we're doing some practice/drills everyday on dealing with Pirates. I would say guarding a cargo ship pays better than the passenger cruise ship. All of my friends still works on the symphony of the seas because they love creeping on women in their bikinis.

[@chace8354]

The ship is so big and so full of entertainment and things to do and not forgetting the ships massive stabilisers to give you that smooth ride that you probably will forget you are even on a ship on the ocean and just hanging out at the Mail or city center? So would the experience be really any different then being on land in town? With The Titanic I feel the Grandeur of it didn't hide the fact that you were at sea but enhanced the experience as it's design never took away the feeling of being on a boat you just knew it was very luxurious😆 "You were going too cross the ocean in style an remember it🎩 rather then forget you were crossing it by the entetainment it had on it "😈💳 Saying all that though the experience was probably rough for the lower class of people but I guess even they knew it was a grand boat so just being on it was probably just as good and a story too share☺

[@gordonayres2609]

The Titanic really wasn't that big like You said. She was only 1,004 Tons heavier than Olympic. Britannic was 1,838 tons Heavier than Titanic. Regardless if the Titanic didn't sink she would have lost her title of Largest ship to Britannic, who in turn would have lost it to SS Imperator. When SS Imperator entered service in June 1913 she came in at 52,117 GRT bs Olympic l's 45,324 GRT Titanic's 46,328 GRT and Britannic's 48,158 GRT. Imperator would have been surpassed by her sistership SS Vaterland. When SS Vaterland enterd service in 1914. So Basically the Titanic and her Sisters woul not have been the Largest ships for very long.

modern ships are way more dangerous IMHO. the way they are built their stability would suck in heavy seas, fire risk is terrible. I would not get on one ever. However, what these ships have the old ships did not is much much better weather reports. they can stay out of bad weather. I promise you, if these modern ships did get caught in really bad weather or ICE they would sink and be even more dangerous than the old ships. Again, what keeps; these modern ships floating is modern computers and data not build quality. Today the ships can stay away from heavy seas, and stay out of ice fields they have very good data reports at all times. They have computers controlling ballast. However, in an emergency, they would be chaos hell. a fire would kill everyone. I personally don't even understand why humans would get on to these things. it's like living in a nice hotel for a week, what kind of adventure is that? Now the old ships are Beautiful and classy, they are true ladies of the sea, IMHO

[@GorgieClarissa]

[@78FullSizeBronco]

The closest thing you can get to a Titanic experience today is a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 as she remains the only active ocean liner left. I agree with you, floating theme parks are NOT ships! They do look fun but there's plenty of land-based attractions like it that are safer. If I'm on the open ocean, I would be a lot more at ease on a ocean liner that was built to handle rough seas and unpredictable ocean conditions with ease. A enormous bulky cruiser would get battered to bits in no time if it was used in frequent transatlantic crossing like the QM2 and quite possibly capsize in a storm with high waves. No thanks!
