Titanic II To Set Sail 2016

I recently read an article online about the idea of creating another Titanic ship.  Australian billionaire, Clive Palmer, is trying to recreate the famous Titanic ship for people to cruise on once again.  The ship will cost around some $2-4 hundred million dollars to recreate.  As of right now, they plan to have the Titanic II set sail in 2016 from Southampton to New York just as it did back in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank.

Already 40,000 applications have been submitted to be part of the maiden voyage.  The estimated cost for a ticket to ride the Titanic II will probably be somewhere from about $50,000 to $100,000, but for the first ride across the Atlantic, the first tickets may very well cost $1,000,000 each.  It will have a crew of 900 looking after some 2,500 passengers.  The rooms, decorations, and even meals will replicate the original ship.  They are even going to have a First, Second, and Third Class just like 1912, where the passengers are only allowed to converse with passengers of the same class.

I think it's a really cool idea that they are trying to recreate the ship.  I think it would be really neat to see what it was like with all of the decorations and meals exactly the same as they were before.  I certainly wouldn't, and couldn't, pay $50,000 to $100,000 for a ticket.  I can't believe some people are willing to pay one million dollars! Do you think it's worth it to recreate and build the Titanic II?
