Oh
Rad

I used to know a bunch of technical facts about it. Tho most of those have faded after a while.

I still know some tho

Did you know one of the four funnels were fake?

I do now.

It was used for some smaller things, like ventilation from the kitchen and such.

But mostly it was just decoration

I recall seeing a story about a crew mate that survived the sinking of the Titanic's sister ship.

The Britannic?

Most of those onboard her survived.

Ah, yes, I've heard of this one. I'm not sure if you should call that being extremely lucky, or extremely unlucky.

At least it was Violet's dream job. Such a disaster, though

I probably wouldn’t board the third ship after the mishaps w/ the first two.

It’s like a universal sign or tempting fate.

You wanna know something interesting? The company that owned the Titanic later merged with its competitor Cunard. Which is now a subsidiary of the Carnival corporation.

And that's kinda funny when you take into account all the other shit that has happened to Carnival operated ships in the past few decades.

That company is cursed. I wouldn't step foot on one of their ships.

Actually funny because the three ships I've ever been in were carnival

And had pretty good experiences on all of them

RIP

But yeah I'd probably use someone else next time

Better go with one of their competitors. Royal Caribbean or Norwegian.

They're both Norwegian founded.

I wanna sail Norwegian yeah

They seem fun

Not to brag or anything

Lmao

I was on Norwegian Escape back in 2016. It was fun, although I stayed mostly in my cabin during daytime, like the hermit that I am.

It was fun, but yet just does what he does now at home 🤣

"What country are you from?"

- "(sigh) Norway."

"Heeey, you own the ship!"

- "Yes. This is the 8th time we've had this exact conversation."

...which I definitely couldn't do at home.

I have responsibilities here, unfortunately.

I wasn't fan of the annoying bartender at the Lido deck that cracked the same joke every time I was there

I went on a cruise ship for my graduation celebration, but it was over a lake.

That must've been a really big lake

Or a very small ship
