The Utopia looks terribly top heavy - I'd not want to be onboard her during a storm even if it was a free cruise. She'd wallow like a pregnant hippo no doubt.

Modern cruise ships lack any semblance of elegance, charm and aesthetic.

They are nothing but big floating amusement parks.

I totally agree with him, it would have been good if the US government stepped in to save this historic ship. I've been following the Conservancy for years now. All sorts of proposals were put forth. From a total restoration and use a cruise ship, to a hotel with restaurants and shopping. In the end, none materialized due cost.
