Would a modern cruise ship survive a collision similar to the Titanic? (Page 2)

[Mark987]

I owned a boat, and honestly speaking we just went boating on small currents and I hated it. I would never do a cruise on a ship no matter what.

[NewgodOmega]

Depends on a lot of things but there are chances it might survive with some damage

[David94358]

The Titanic didn't have enough life boats.. modern cruise ships do, and also the communication to send out sos for help, there is full cell phone communication and Internet on them as well.

There are stricter regulations now and the technology in terms of weather prediction (and tracking icebergs) is far beyond what was available in 1912. A food-related disease outbreak is far more likely than the ship sinking.

[Guanfei]

Probably, yes. Security has been greatly increased since. Not that they care much about your life, but lawsuits are costly.

[midnightmoon05]

I wouldn’t let that stop me from enjoying my life. Live with no fear.

[jahaims]

112 years of technological advancement with sonar etc. would prevent it

[handsomelad70]

Prevent it, yes, but should such an event occur today, a ship would likely still sink.

[LunarEclipse433]

If it was serious enough there would still be a huge loss of life

[handsomelad70]

Count on it, LunarEclipse433.

[JacobJordan]

Only ships that fair well vs icebergs are icebreakers. That is the name of the ship design

[Grond21]

Where would you go?

[desidoll]

I haven’t decided yet, but looking for some good deals.

[Grond21]

I went on one in the Caribbean and really enjoyed it

[Stacy0706]

Yes plus people now days more attentive today.

[dolemite58]

Cruises are nasty

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely 💯

[strateguy632]

yes.

[Amur8711]

There are cruise ships designed for Icy waters now
