What could possibly go wrong...

Cruise to trace Titanic's route on centennial of ship's sinking - CNN.com

That's cool. Bring an extra life-jacket, though.

Why not?

Ships take this route all the time.

 

[RabidAlien]

Yep. And navigation/iceberg-avoidance has come a long way since then. Seriously....this is a cool idea.

...navigation/iceberg-avoidance has come a long way since then. Seriously....this is a cool idea.

...and back then, Titanic was unsinkable
Seriously, I wasn't being that serious, it will likely be a flawless and memorable trip; I'm not sure that I personally would be so keen to poke fate and history in the eye with a sharp stick though.

At least it looks like they are trying to honor the lives lost by the sinking.
It's not a cruise I would take though.

Well, this does sound pretty interesting. It is a great way to remember the sinking.
Although, just before it sails, I can see some yahoo holding onto the ropes as it casts off, yelling at the top of his lungs that the ship is fated to sink. Just my though, though.

Unlikely, sea traveling has come a long way since 1912.

My first thought was "that's cool". My second thought was "dang, what a propaganda coup for some psycho with a suicide vest and a cargo hold strategically dotted with smuggled explosives." I think the "cool, paying tribute and honoring the memories of those who died and unwittingly helped make advances in maritime safety" wins, though.
