Honestly speaking, Titanic although the design is more than 100 years old, but still have a classy elegance aura in it. Titanic's design look far more timeless and graceful than today's floating bathtubs like Icon of the seas.

While the Titanic is nice for its time, I'd much rather be on the icon. For having modern bathrooms....and far more amenities that the rich back then could only dream of.
This video to be honest is so wholesome. Imagine seeing First Class passengers on the Titanic while you're on the Icon of The Seas paying tribute to the fallen souls that passed away on that horrific night in 1912. Just seeing the Icon of The Seas paying tribute to the Titanic was a wholesome moment. ❤
Titanic is dwarfed by Icon of the Seas, which is itself dwarfed (although not as badly) by ships like the largest oil tankers. It's really not that impressive for a modern ship. It'd fit very comfortably into the old locks of the Panama Canal, while hitting the limits of those locks was for a long time where most cargo ships stopped.
Titanic was an Ocean Liner not a cruise ship. They serve different purposes. A cruise liner is a floating resort hotel, an ocean liner is a means of ocean transport. Sure you can’t enjoy a wave pool and zip lines on the Titanic but I’d love to see that cruise ship in a Force 10 gale in the mid-Atlantic.
@@PrinceBarin77 It wouldn't be pleasant, but cruise ships are a lot more seaworthy than they might seem at first glance.

Icon might not be quite as stable as the Freedom class, but I'd still bet on her making it through. Modern techniques make very strong ships... That said, you are of course correct about the difference between ocean liners and cruise ships, it's just that modern cruise ships aren't completely incapable of doing ocean liner duty.
This video just goes to show that it isn’t the size of the vessel, but what you do with it, that counts. Titanic still looks far better than anything that’s come since.

@@insertname9736 it reminds me of how the Eiffel Tower was considered a massive eyesore when it was built, and now it's universally regarded as beautiful and elegant. Weird how universal the tendency to ascribe the status of "classy" to anything old is.
If it sank and had over 2000 people die in the process, maybe. But that most likely won't happen and even if it did sink it would have enough room to save everyone seems a bit better than being remembered as a tragedy.
In a way I hope we won't. We don't talk about Mauretania or Bremen or Ile de France, which were arguably more striking advances in technology and design than Titanic. The famous ones are often not the ones sold for scrap after 40 years of safe and happy sailing.
Nobody talks about the SS Imperator either, even moreso than people don't talk baout Olympic or Brittanic (and lots of people don't even know Titanic was the middle child of three sisters!). Imperator, for the record, took the title of largest ship in history after Titanic. Titanic sank in April 1912, her older sister Olympic went into refit to add extra safety measures, and a couple months after she was done, in June 1913, Imperator took the record, being comfortably larger than Titanic and Olympic (not by as much as Olympic was bigger than previous record-holder Mauretania, but still more than 10% bigger). By 1935 Normandie showed up, and was heavier than Titanic and Mauretania combined! But, of course, most people don't remember Normandie, or Mauretania, or Imperator, because they don't have the drama that Titanic did - The other ships had fruitful, successful, and boring careers, and Titanic has a story. For the same reason, people will (hopefully) remember the Costa Concordia for longer than the larger and much more successful Freedom of the Seas, which is much larger (another former record holder of the largest passenger ship in history) and is still around doing her thing. People remember stories, and drama, and deaths, not beauty or technological advancement. If Titanic didn't hit that iceberg, and lived to see the scrapyard like her older sister did, she'd be entirely forgotten. Most pictures we have that claim to be of Titanic before sinking aren't even the right ship, they're mostly Olympic, because she was first and people cared more about that until Titanic went under (and couldn't be photographed anymore). Had she lived, she'd be the forgotten middle child, sandwiched between the older sister that came first and the younger sister that had a dramatic story of hitting a mine and sank with over a thousand people on board (having not been improved by lessons learned from losing Titanic). I do rather hope we don't remember IOTS in 100 years time. I hope she has a long, boring career, and has a quiet date with a scrapyard many years from now, having long been replaced and forgotten by people who complain about how ugly the ships they consider new are, and no one except ship nerds remember her name. Because the alternative is almost certainly a horrible, dramatic disaster happening to a ship that can carry over 7,000 passengers, and that's just not something I'd like to see happen in my lifetime if I had the choice in the matter.
We dont talk about Titanic because of how the ship was designed or looked... we talk about it because of the STORY of how it SANK and took with it so many lives. If the Titanic had a really long and boring career then was sold for scrap, NOBODY would be talking about it today... NOBODY. If IOTS has a long career then is sold for scrap... nope, nobody will talk about it in 100 years... if it has a terrible tragedy and takes most of the crew and passengers with it to the bottom of the ocean... YES... people will still talk about it 100 years from now.
Icon of the seas, largest passenger ship in the world, this truly shows how big the titanic also is even today. The titanic is not too far off in terms of weight compared to japans largest cruise ship
@@daniels7907 it's still huge though. It's comparable to the largest passenger ship in japan. Been playing titanic honor and glory that let's you explore 50% of the titanic, and that took well over 2 hours
@@raiwserkoopa2221 - "Huge" is an overstatement. It's large, but just the fact that you had to reference a passenger ship from Japan for a comparison proves that it is actually only average by today's standards. Most luxury cruise ships are quite a bit larger now, and freighters (including Japanese ones) entirely dwarf the Titanic.
The Royalty, Class, Magestic stand, the style of funnels nothing compares as Titanic. Modern ships dont have life in it. Just mere floating stacked up cardboars boxes
Luxurious Titanic is still stylish and full of class despite coming from another bygone era! Surprised how big Titanic still is when compared to modern day titans!
I'm not sure why everyone here is bashing the Icon. It's designed for a leisurely cruise around the warm Caribbean waters, with amenities for families to have fun. The Titanic was designed for crossing the cold and rough waters of the Atlantic. One is a cruise ship, the other was an ocean liner. To say that the Icon couldn't handle an iceberg is like complaining that your car wouldn't handle a combat zone as well as a tank. That's not what it was design for. And complaining that Icon isn't as classy as Titanic is like saying that Disneyland isn't as classy as high tea at some posh English hotel. That's not the atmosphere it was meant for. A far better comparison would be with the Queen Mary 2, which IS an ocean liner designed for trans-Atlantic crossings, and which DOES have fancy, black tie dinners and events, like one would find on the Titanic.
i have not seen one comment regarding that, and people are saying titanic looks more beautiful which i agree with. they are bashing the cruise ship on design
Love this. I think you need to remember about WHEN Titanic was built - it's so incredible they could build this monster back then, and to that standard!
@@egrintarg230 With what’s going on in the cruise industry ships today, would it matter? I would still take the Titanic in a side-by-side comparison, not technological advantage.
These ships are NOT in the same class, category nor purpose... the IOTS is a CRUISE SHIP... the Titanic is an OCEAN LINER. Cruise Ships: Built to transport large numbers of passengers on slow, fancy floating hotels and casinos to exotic locations for pleasure at leisure Ocean Liners: Built to transport people at speed across oceans for reason of transport... there are no exotic stops, this is a trans-ocean transport They really shouldn't be compared to one another, they were built for completely different reasons and hence designed expressly for those purposes... it's like comparing a Greyhound Bus to a Lamborghini... they just aren't designed for the same reason and would completely fail if used for what the other was built (a Greyhound Bus can't do what Lamborghini does, and a Lamborghini certainly can't do what a Greyhound Bus can do). Why compare them?
No question, Titanic was a beautiful ship with graceful, elegant lines. Unfortunately, the Icon of the Seas looks just like a floating building....No comparison at all! Btw, I love the James R. Barker!
Titanic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and if ti and icon met each other in real life I’m sure that icon of the seas will beat him up #talking about titanic in one wap
2 different types of ships. In its day, people had to cross the ocean by ship because planes weren’t capable of doing it yet. It was luxurious of course but it was a necessity. Now people go on ocean cruises simply because they want to. It’s simply a vacation. The Titanic was designed with speed in mind, that’s why it’s shaped like it is. The Icon is simply a floating resort.
I’ll take a ship the size of Titanic over any of those floating cities any day of the week and twice on Sundays! I want a cruise that includes the sea not erase and ignore it.
After the events of the last four years. I'll never get on a cruise ship, again. Twenty years ago, Icon would interest me, now it is a huge warning sign.
It has a port starboard bow stern aft. It has the curvature of a boat.It floats..It's much more safe than the Titanic in any conditions. And most importantly, it has Internet. What do you want?
Great, simple comparison not considering gross tonnage and beam size not included here. Both are beautiful in their own ways and as others said, like comparing two very different use cases.
@MrGriff305 the titanic was the safest ship of its time, a cruise ship would still sink today if it had suffered the same damage that iceberg cracked titanic open like an egg doesn’t mean she wasn’t a super safe vessel as we can clearly see in her sister ship Olympic
" Hello passengers, this is your Costa Concordia Captain Francesco Shecctino asking you to look to your right and see my lovely little hoor my wife doesn't know about. She will flash me and I will honor her with a loud screeching noise like your math teachers nails against the chalkboard, thank you very much. "
@@jonathanb.1215blud the titanic sank to iceberg, modern ships can break through ice like nothing, a cruise ship being as big as it is won’t even suffer half the damage the titanic did
You do know titanic sank on its maiden voyage right? you can justify it all you want, the fact is it sank its first time out and didn’t have enough lifeboats for all the passengers, over 1,500 people lost their lives, that is not safe in any time
@@jonathanb.1215The Olympic-class are safer than people give them credit for, especially after the post-Titanic refit (but it'd be unfair to give titanic credit for safety for a "Oh shit we just lost a ship we need to not be doing that" refit she caused). Icon is much better built, though. She's stronger, she has all the improvements we learned from things like the Titanic disaster, she has many more and better designed watertight compartments... I mean, just look at what Monarch of the Seas suffered - A rock tearing open a much larger gap than what killed Titanic, and she would have floated fine even if she wasn't beached. Modern ships would be heavily damaged by hitting a berg like Titanic did, don't get me wrong, and having it scrape open the side under the waterline is a worst-case scenario for any ship - But it's much more likely that a ship like Icon would limp home instead of sinking outright, and if it did sink it'd take much longer (being larger and having more compartments in the way to slow sinking), and while it did it has much better procedures and equipment on hand to safely get everyone out (better lifeboats and enough for everyone on board). I mean, Costa Concordia sank with a lot more people on board than Titanic, in roughly the same amount of time as Titanic, with a completely incompetent evacuation that mostly involved passengers being explicitly told not to evacuate while the engineers were already desperately trying to keep the power on as water filled the machine spaces, and still almost everyone got out. Granted, the ship not sinking entirely helped a lot, but I bet if it sank in open ocean we'd have seen a few hundred deaths, not the nearly 3000 we'd expect if she was equally good at keeping her passengers alive as Titanic was. Titanic was a very well-built ship that fought hard and did really well given the circumstances at keeping people alive - For the time in which she sank. She doesn't hold a candle to modern shipbuilding.
Interesting thing is that Titanic had 48,000 horsepower driving 3 propellers and the Icon has only 81,000 horsepower driving 3 Azipods. The Icon has 4 times the tonnage and carries 3 times the passengers.
The Titanic sunk how was it so amazing? It also had two identical sister ships so it wasn’t one of a kind like so many misinformed people think it was.
Some people are judging purely on looks whilst ignoring the functionality (i.e. emotion over logic), same reason why some managers are dreadful at hiring suitable candidates through job interviews, or some people choose romantic partners who have dreadful compatibility. Form over function, often not a good idea.

If it sank and had over 2000 people die in the process, maybe. But that most likely won't happen and even if it did sink it would have enough room to save everyone seems a bit better than being remembered as a tragedy.
In a way I hope we won't. We don't talk about Mauretania or Bremen or Ile de France, which were arguably more striking advances in technology and design than Titanic. The famous ones are often not the ones sold for scrap after 40 years of safe and happy sailing.
Nobody talks about the SS Imperator either, even moreso than people don't talk baout Olympic or Brittanic (and lots of people don't even know Titanic was the middle child of three sisters!).
Imperator, for the record, took the title of largest ship in history after Titanic. Titanic sank in April 1912, her older sister Olympic went into refit to add extra safety measures, and a couple months after she was done, in June 1913, Imperator took the record, being comfortably larger than Titanic and Olympic (not by as much as Olympic was bigger than previous record-holder Mauretania, but still more than 10% bigger).
By 1935 Normandie showed up, and was heavier than Titanic and Mauretania combined!
But, of course, most people don't remember Normandie, or Mauretania, or Imperator, because they don't have the drama that Titanic did - The other ships had fruitful, successful, and boring careers, and Titanic has a story.
For the same reason, people will (hopefully) remember the Costa Concordia for longer than the larger and much more successful Freedom of the Seas, which is much larger (another former record holder of the largest passenger ship in history) and is still around doing her thing.
People remember stories, and drama, and deaths, not beauty or technological advancement. If Titanic didn't hit that iceberg, and lived to see the scrapyard like her older sister did, she'd be entirely forgotten. Most pictures we have that claim to be of Titanic before sinking aren't even the right ship, they're mostly Olympic, because she was first and people cared more about that until Titanic went under (and couldn't be photographed anymore). Had she lived, she'd be the forgotten middle child, sandwiched between the older sister that came first and the younger sister that had a dramatic story of hitting a mine and sank with over a thousand people on board (having not been improved by lessons learned from losing Titanic).
I do rather hope we don't remember IOTS in 100 years time. I hope she has a long, boring career, and has a quiet date with a scrapyard many years from now, having long been replaced and forgotten by people who complain about how ugly the ships they consider new are, and no one except ship nerds remember her name. Because the alternative is almost certainly a horrible, dramatic disaster happening to a ship that can carry over 7,000 passengers, and that's just not something I'd like to see happen in my lifetime if I had the choice in the matter.
We dont talk about Titanic because of how the ship was designed or looked... we talk about it because of the STORY of how it SANK and took with it so many lives. If the Titanic had a really long and boring career then was sold for scrap, NOBODY would be talking about it today... NOBODY. If IOTS has a long career then is sold for scrap... nope, nobody will talk about it in 100 years... if it has a terrible tragedy and takes most of the crew and passengers with it to the bottom of the ocean... YES... people will still talk about it 100 years from now.
Icon of the seas, largest passenger ship in the world, this truly shows how big the titanic also is even today. The titanic is not too far off in terms of weight compared to japans largest cruise ship
But Titanic has less than 1/5 the tonnage of Icon. People looking only at its length from bow to stern aren't considering volume.
@@daniels7907 it's still huge though. It's comparable to the largest passenger ship in japan. Been playing titanic honor and glory that let's you explore 50% of the titanic, and that took well over 2 hours
@@raiwserkoopa2221 - "Huge" is an overstatement. It's large, but just the fact that you had to reference a passenger ship from Japan for a comparison proves that it is actually only average by today's standards. Most luxury cruise ships are quite a bit larger now, and freighters (including Japanese ones) entirely dwarf the Titanic.
@@daniels7907 i know, but it's still huge. Not compared to modern cruise ships, but it isn't small either
@@raiwserkoopa2221 - Yes, and in its day the Empire State Building was the tallest in the world. Now it's somewhere down the list in the 50's.
I love the Titanic
Excuse me Captain I know this is the icon and all. The sea told me to tell you it's still undefeated🚬
Idea for video: Titanic runs through icon of the seas
Like comparing a sleek sedan to a schoolbus.

The Titanic was a beautiful ocean liner and not a party barge cruise ship like the icon .🎉

Oceanliners look so much more elegant and beautiful
Titanic Meets Costa Concordia please 😃
Comparing the Icon to the Titanic is like comparing a bloated SUV to a classic automobile.
The Royalty, Class, Magestic stand, the style of funnels nothing compares as Titanic. Modern ships dont have life in it. Just mere floating stacked up cardboars boxes
Titanic over 100 years old still looks impressive size compared to biggest ever so far
Titanic: I’m the biggest ship in the world!
IOTS: No! I am!

Luxurious Titanic is still stylish and full of class despite coming from another bygone era! Surprised how big Titanic still is when compared to modern day titans!

I'm not sure why everyone here is bashing the Icon. It's designed for a leisurely cruise around the warm Caribbean waters, with amenities for families to have fun. The Titanic was designed for crossing the cold and rough waters of the Atlantic.
One is a cruise ship, the other was an ocean liner. To say that the Icon couldn't handle an iceberg is like complaining that your car wouldn't handle a combat zone as well as a tank. That's not what it was design for.
And complaining that Icon isn't as classy as Titanic is like saying that Disneyland isn't as classy as high tea at some posh English hotel. That's not the atmosphere it was meant for.
A far better comparison would be with the Queen Mary 2, which IS an ocean liner designed for trans-Atlantic crossings, and which DOES have fancy, black tie dinners and events, like one would find on the Titanic.
Well stated, agreed!
I was thinking this too. Thank you for saying this. 👍💪
i have not seen one comment regarding that, and people are saying titanic looks more beautiful which i agree with. they are bashing the cruise ship on design
Thank you exactly
The Icon just needs the James Cameron treatment.
Love this. I think you need to remember about WHEN Titanic was built - it's so incredible they could build this monster back then, and to that standard!
This truely puts in perspective how beautiful and elegant those old ocean liners are!
The Titanic was an experience, the other ship a floating city. Give me the elegance of the Titanic and the craftsmanship.
I'll take the navigation systems of the Icon thank u ☠
@@geert574 I’ll agree with that, but if both ships were similarly equipped, I would still go with my option. The other ship is like a small city.
One is top of the morning to ya. The other is bottom of the ocean. Which one do you think I would pick.
@@egrintarg230 With what’s going on in the cruise industry ships today, would it matter? I would still take the Titanic in a side-by-side comparison, not technological advantage.
@@autoguy57 Well there is that, plus you can use fresh iceberg ice in your drinks, win win.
I bet the passengers on Titanic were near deaf after hearing that behemoth roar
Titanic infinitely more spectacular and beautiful
Titanic most beautiful
These ships are NOT in the same class, category nor purpose... the IOTS is a CRUISE SHIP... the Titanic is an OCEAN LINER.
Cruise Ships: Built to transport large numbers of passengers on slow, fancy floating hotels and casinos to exotic locations for pleasure at leisure
Ocean Liners: Built to transport people at speed across oceans for reason of transport... there are no exotic stops, this is a trans-ocean transport
They really shouldn't be compared to one another, they were built for completely different reasons and hence designed expressly for those purposes... it's like comparing a Greyhound Bus to a Lamborghini... they just aren't designed for the same reason and would completely fail if used for what the other was built (a Greyhound Bus can't do what Lamborghini does, and a Lamborghini certainly can't do what a Greyhound Bus can do). Why compare them?
I’d take the Titanic everyday of the week, hands down!
Icon of the seas 2023 and Titanic 2023 ❤❤
titanic passengers : Hi Wonder of the seas!
Titanic : 😡
Icon of the seas :😏
Titanic: snooooooooop

soop!!! REEE
Why do people keep comparing ships to the titanic?
Good question. As a professional Mariner I have no clue.
Because it's famous for killing people, pretty stupid tbh
Movie and media hype hype hype. They do it with some many things and people eat it up🤪
Icon of seas lifeboats are like 2.5X bigger then titanics lifeboats
No question, Titanic was a beautiful ship with graceful, elegant lines. Unfortunately, the Icon of the Seas looks just like a floating building....No comparison at all! Btw, I love the James R. Barker!
Both ships are Beautiful
Titanic has a better Stern though.
@@The_Harvester.bro he said both ships are beautiful
Titanic ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and if ti and icon met each other in real life I’m sure that icon of the seas will beat him up #talking about titanic in one wap
The icon of the seas looks bloody horrendous
@@AlexBamZbro has an Xbox 360 default pfp, I definitely wouldn't take your advice on what looks "good"
I actually like both of them. One is a luxurious ocean liner and one is a cruise ship for vacations 🤷♂️
In fairness, titanic holds her own here, even given height comparison ❤
But only one of them became a legend.
the name Titanic is much bigger than the entire size of the Icon.
Nicely put!
2 different types of ships. In its day, people had to cross the ocean by ship because planes weren’t capable of doing it yet. It was luxurious of course but it was a necessity. Now people go on ocean cruises simply because they want to. It’s simply a vacation. The Titanic was designed with speed in mind, that’s why it’s shaped like it is. The Icon is simply a floating resort.
That's exactly what the icon is a gigantic floating hotel 😊😊😊😊😊😊personally I think the icon looks awsome but I also like the old look of the titanic
I’ll take a ship the size of Titanic over any of those floating cities any day of the week and twice on Sundays!
I want a cruise that includes the sea not erase and ignore it.
After the events of the last four years. I'll never get on a cruise ship, again. Twenty years ago, Icon would interest me, now it is a huge warning sign.
be sure to mask up forever 🤭
I don't like these new cruise ships, the passengers are stacked on top of each other like a battery of chickens.
Gotta give Titanic credit where it’s due. At least she actually _looks_ like a boat. Icon just looks like a big white and baby blue brick
It has a port starboard bow stern aft. It has the curvature of a boat.It floats..It's much more safe than the Titanic in any conditions. And most importantly, it has Internet. What do you want?
Great, simple comparison not considering gross tonnage and beam size not included here. Both are beautiful in their own ways and as others said, like comparing two very different use cases.
Icon of the seas is the best ship so far...
Best ship about what, was about size or about modern or about beautiful(icon not beautiful) what I mean is you need reason.
Reason : 1 Safety
2 more than enough lifeboats
3. more things to do
4. finest of the oasis class @@felixnababan8290
@maddoxrodriguez6362A ship that didn’t have enough lifeboats?
@@jayminyoel7911almost no ship in that time had enough lifeboats. Ships nowadays are so safe because a ton was learned from the Titanic disaster.
which one?
Titanic it's beautiful.
There best friends
I’ll take Titanic over a floating city.
nice vid
Titanic by a mile....what a beautiful ship
That horn is not as loud as my toots 💀💨💥
"Iceberg! Right ahead!"
"That's no iceberg sailor, it's a boat."
one of these ships is beautiful, safe, largest in the world, and luxurious and the other is icon of the seas
@MrGriff305 the titanic was the safest ship of its time, a cruise ship would still sink today if it had suffered the same damage that iceberg cracked titanic open like an egg doesn’t mean she wasn’t a super safe vessel as we can clearly see in her sister ship Olympic
" Hello passengers, this is your Costa Concordia Captain Francesco Shecctino asking you to look to your right and see my lovely little hoor my wife doesn't know about. She will flash me and I will honor her with a loud screeching noise like your math teachers nails against the chalkboard, thank you very much. "
@@jonathanb.1215blud the titanic sank to iceberg, modern ships can break through ice like nothing, a cruise ship being as big as it is won’t even suffer half the damage the titanic did
You do know titanic sank on its maiden voyage right? you can justify it all you want, the fact is it sank its first time out and didn’t have enough lifeboats for all the passengers, over 1,500 people lost their lives, that is not safe in any time
@@jonathanb.1215The Olympic-class are safer than people give them credit for, especially after the post-Titanic refit (but it'd be unfair to give titanic credit for safety for a "Oh shit we just lost a ship we need to not be doing that" refit she caused).
Icon is much better built, though. She's stronger, she has all the improvements we learned from things like the Titanic disaster, she has many more and better designed watertight compartments...
I mean, just look at what Monarch of the Seas suffered - A rock tearing open a much larger gap than what killed Titanic, and she would have floated fine even if she wasn't beached.
Modern ships would be heavily damaged by hitting a berg like Titanic did, don't get me wrong, and having it scrape open the side under the waterline is a worst-case scenario for any ship - But it's much more likely that a ship like Icon would limp home instead of sinking outright, and if it did sink it'd take much longer (being larger and having more compartments in the way to slow sinking), and while it did it has much better procedures and equipment on hand to safely get everyone out (better lifeboats and enough for everyone on board).
I mean, Costa Concordia sank with a lot more people on board than Titanic, in roughly the same amount of time as Titanic, with a completely incompetent evacuation that mostly involved passengers being explicitly told not to evacuate while the engineers were already desperately trying to keep the power on as water filled the machine spaces, and still almost everyone got out. Granted, the ship not sinking entirely helped a lot, but I bet if it sank in open ocean we'd have seen a few hundred deaths, not the nearly 3000 we'd expect if she was equally good at keeping her passengers alive as Titanic was.
Titanic was a very well-built ship that fought hard and did really well given the circumstances at keeping people alive - For the time in which she sank. She doesn't hold a candle to modern shipbuilding.
Interesting thing is that Titanic had 48,000 horsepower driving 3 propellers and the Icon has only 81,000 horsepower driving 3 Azipods.
The Icon has 4 times the tonnage and carries 3 times the passengers.
Very nice 👍
Titanic meets a ship type that's something totally different from her.
Ocean liners are to busses as cruise ships are to party limousines
Titanic:Has no waterslides .Icon:A game changer
It's kinda hard to imagine John Jacob Astor and Isidor Strauss splashing around on water slides.
Titanic,” I am the biggest ship of all!l
IOTS,”No! I am!”

There is only one Titanic. She was a classic!
Just like her Sister Ships.
Why am I seeing so many titanic fanboys hate on the Icon of the Seas? They're both amazing ships!
Icon is an abomination.
The Titanic sunk how was it so amazing? It also had two identical sister ships so it wasn’t one of a kind like so many misinformed people think it was.
Some people are judging purely on looks whilst ignoring the functionality (i.e. emotion over logic), same reason why some managers are dreadful at hiring suitable candidates through job interviews, or some people choose romantic partners who have dreadful compatibility. Form over function, often not a good idea.
@@adamlea6339 You're not wrong there.
