Disney Cruise

Posts Tagged ‘Titanic’

Although many films based on cruise ships were filmed on sets some were filmed on the ships themselves. These are just a few that are recommended to you before you go on a luxury cruise

Titanic

This has to be the biggest film that is based on a ship. It is also one of the biggest money earners of all time bringing in a massive .8 Billion. 0 million is how much the film cost to make, which in turn made it the highest costing film for that time. Two fictional people are at the centre of this movie. There are a few characters in the film that did actually exist so it is part historic part fiction.

Speed 2

This was actually a box office disaster as many of the films original actors did not return to make the sequel. Keanu Reeves really felt that the script was awful so did not actually return. The villan of the previous one did also not want to return. It really shows as the majority of the film is very poor indeed. You have to watch this film because it has such a good ending.

One of Comedy’s Best- Carry On Crusing

The Carry On series is huge and this is just one of those films. This was the first in the franchise to be fimed in colour. It is on the list simply because it is my favourite film in the entire series and needed to be here because the whole of the film is set on a cruise ship.

So whether you are on your way to one of those cunard cruises or even a Silversea cruises make sure you check out these films first. Thinking about it, these films all spell diaster for cruise ships but do not worry as they are just movies right?

2012 is of course going to be the 100th Anniversary of the Titanic sinking. A company is setting up a trans-Atlantic cruise to do the exact same route.

8th April 2012 is the date that the ship is departing as it is exaclty 100 years since the Titanic set sail. It is also leaving from the exact same port as the original which of course is Southampton. Once it has left the port it will then stop at Cobh in Ireland in the same way that the real thing did to make the experience even more life like.

The ship is going to arrive on the spot where the Titanic sunk at 11.40 which is when it hit the iceburg. 2am is around the time the ship will carry on with its journey to New York.2am was the time in which the ship sunk.

This is certainly not going to be a disrespectful trip as the vessal is set to have a short memorial service during these hours. There will also be lectures on board as well as food and music from the era.

The ship will contain 710 cabins and will hold 1,350 passengers and a crew of around 150. The prices are of course not going to be cheap so watch out for that. This is truly going to be the luxury cruises of a life time.

Of course most of the cheaper cabins for the price above have already sold out so perhaps if you are interested in taking a cruise you should think about taking another cruise like one of those Rhine River Cruises or perhaps Silversea cruises would be a better move to make.
