Wow, this was a really good exhibit! I loved every moment of it walking through and seeing all the artifacts. Reading about all the stories and the people were really interesting too. Just makes me wonder about the people who made "last minute" changes to their journeys to be on the Titanic and what came about.
I like the replica of the different class hallways and room. That first class room looked so amazing! Looking at the pictures of what the dining rooms looked like, the architecture, and even the plates down to the spoon was interesting. I loved the covered patio deck! It was cheesy with the lights but oh so romantic.
I think what would be really interesting is if they had built in a simulator of the hallway that showed partially of how the Titanic tilted over and how it was like (similar to the earthquake simulations at the ca discovery center)
My favorite part was the staircase. Oh how I wish I could take wedding photos on there! The husband merely glanced and said "the cruise lines today have even bigger, grander staircases" and didn't really care much for it but I thought it was gorgeous! I've never been on a cruise so I don't have anything to compare it to but just the shear architecture and detail made me giddy. The best part I think was the huge piece of the Titanic that they were able to recover. It really puts things into perspective as to how this "small" piece of the Titanic tells so much about the agonizing pain and passion but into building it, it's tragedy, and it's recovery.
Highly recommend for people on the fence about going to the Exhibit.
I think I'll go find that Titanic movie now... or wait for it to finally come out on Blu-Ray or HD... which won't be for a while... Sigh.
