The Titanic Scene Reality
The reality of attempting to recreate either of the classic Titanic bow scenes is very different. To begin with, there is a lot of equipment and other items at the front of the ship (which is generally closed off to guests anyway), preventing the unimpeded view and clear platform shown in the film. Furthermore, the statement on the ship’s rail is less “romantic feeling of flying and being king of the world” and more “dangerous feeling of losing balance.” Beyond that, it’s a popular notion, implying that the bow is less of a lonely sanctuary and more of a compact space crowded with a slew of passengers all trying for the same picture.

Tender Expectations
Many customers want the cruise ship’s tender, which is a small boat carried by the larger vessel and carries passengers back and forth to shore for boarding or port of call excursions, to be as opulent and luxurious as the main vessel. They believe this mini-ship will transport them from ship to shore in comfort and opulence reminiscent of the huge ocean liners of the past.
