| - I think I actually felt the story and history of Titanic, the "ship of dreams" with all my heart during my visit. I wanted to visit this exhibition so bad because it was our one year anniversary and 100th anniversary of Titanic, it was just such a touching and romantic thing to do!
The tickets are $32 each for adult, they have photographers take photos for visitors with 3 backgrounds. The scene in the very front of the ship from the movie, the portrait of the big piece of Titanic, and the re-creation of the Grand Staircase. You can decide if you want those photos after your visit. They don't allow cameras inside, all the phones have to be turned off as soon as you enter the exhibition.
The 25,000-square-feet exhibit was fantastic! I loved it how they re-created the first and third class rooms. We could actually walk through it, even the furnishings were by original manufacturers. Lots of recovered artifacts from Titanic, lots of detailed descriptions about the ship and passengers, even the stories about survivors and victims.
I was surprised first class suite cost that much money per person for this voyage, more than $50,000 a suite in today's money value! In the movie Kate's fiancée must be so wealthy to book 3 suites! And how luxury the first class areas were, only they had running water, and everything was as luxury as Ritz. Wow.. Amazing!
I almost lost words at The Grand Staircase ... It was just like in the movie! My favorite set! We got to walk up and take a photo, my dream came true! The actual big piece of Titanic was so surreal to me, I couldn't believe it was an actual piece from the ship! And the rest of the ship in the bottom of North Atlantic Ocean is going to disappear in a decade or two from decaying.
It was very educational that they showed us when Titanic hit the iceberg, why, and how she had no chance but to sink....and why many passengers died from the cold so fast in North Atlantic Ocean, the water was even colder than the iceberg they put there for visitors to touch and feel, it was freezing! Most passengers suffered psychological and physical panics in the water, their body temperatures dropped very fast, so that they died even faster in the water..... so sad.....And they re-created the moonless night on the deck when Titanic hit the iceberg. I swear I could feel something around me, I hope they were not spirits or something...
This exhibit was just too touching, too real, I had tears in my eyes, I couldn't imagine how people went through all that, such a great tragedy... I even told hubby that I would never get on a life boat without him, just like Kate & Jack in the movie! Well, I am just a hopeless romantic!
They had a visitors book for us to write our thoughts about our visit. A gift shop to get something to take home of this amazing Titanic artifact exhibition.
Absolutely loved this exhibit, can't even describe how much I enjoyed it, it was really a romantic thing to do for couples, I highly recommend it!
