Growing up in the 90’s, when the movie Titanic came out, I became an obsessed fan! James Cameron captivated a generation in the story of this unsinkable Titanic! And truly is a movie I can watch many times, and it never gets old. I still weep pretty much in every scene of the last half! Wanting to know more, and learn all about it. So being that we were just about 100 yards or so from it, you bet we had to check it out. I had the boys watch the movie with me the night before, and the documentary with Cameron James to showcase what inspired him to make the movie and the whole Jack and Rose end scenes. Needless to say, besides the love story aspect of it, the boys were intrigued and very much excited to go check this attraction out.

We dove into the Attraction/Museum of The Titanic with full blown excitement and anxious anticipation! We entered being given a card with a name and story line of real life passengers. We walked thru viewing artifacts, reading stories, looking through some of the only photos in the world of the everyday life of people on the first 4 days of their voyage on Titanic. As we toured through the museum, we would learn of more stories of survivors and passengers aboard the Titanic, including stories of ourselves. Kaycen and Rhett portrayed two real brothers but a big difference in ages. Because Kaycen’s passenger was a 9 year old boy that looked much older, he was denied a spot with his mother and siblings in the first few rescue boats that were released into the sea. Not having his dad, as he was already in America, the poor boy was left on the boat to attend on his own… but did he survive? That was the big question. Blake was a passenger that jumped off the boat and swam to the one of the recuse boats but was forefully pushed off and pushed away and was told he could not get in the boat-leaving him in the water in hopes to survive. I was a first class late 40 year old lady, that I assumed most likely survived the terror and Raylee, well she happened to be the youngest child on the ship. The ultimate question is whether our person survived or not, but it wouldn’t be disclosed until the very end.

We walked through replicas of a first-class hallway, third class bunk rooms, the ultimate famous grand staircase and ended with the new, one and only Jack and Rose exhibit. We were able to see the captains view, spin the steering wheel, attempt to move the ship in the 37 seconds to see if we could have avoided the iceberg in that amount of time they had to avoid impact. Experience the slopes of the ship going under and touch water that was as cold as the water was, when the passengers were stuck in it when the ship sank. This was quite the experience, and absolutely worth it! I loved they kept it pretty interactive for the kids, to keep them entertained throughout as the adults were glued to ready and listening to all the history!
