Gives me a sinking feeling

Any cruisers out there? If so, this post might just be for you...although it's a little eerie.

In memory of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the infamous Titanic, two cruise lines are shipping off to commemorate the occasion, including excursions to the sinking site, memorials and diving expeditions. (Kind of creepy?)

A CNN article (check it out here) shares how the Titanic Memorial Cruise and Voyages! Titanic 2012 cruises will be sailing in memory of the Titanic, which sunk on April 15, 2012.

The Titanic Memorial Cruise will hold a memorial service at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, according to the article, to mark the exact time the Titanic sunk. It will also include the exact same number of passengers as the Titanic--1,309 to be precise. Check out the Titanic Memorial Cruise itinerary:





Is anyone a bit taken aback by this? Pardon my insensitivity, but we don't have camp to remember the Holocaust, so why is it acceptable to have cruise excursions to remember the Titanic? There are better ways we can remember this tragic event than to replicate it.
