QM2 easaly. speeking as a marein enginer the titanic had alot of front and pomp about it claiming a ship to be unsincable is just show boating. whereas the enginering feats that have created the Qm2 like the incredibly complex wireing systems powering her aipods or the fact she has 2 large gas turbines in her funel. the titanic was nice enough but she never realy pushed any boundarys with her enginering.

@fighter4rent at the time of the titanic it was a marsterpeice in technological marvell but yes the QM2 is still one of the best in the world

Titanic is more Special because it looked so perfect and it was all new, it was the most expencive ship back in those times, and the way that it sank in its first maiden Voyage made it quite historical and still one of the most tragic accidents in the history of the seas.

Sorry about spelling.

@Timberwolf8998 I have to agree. Asking which ship was "better" is just a rheotical question. Define "better"? They were both the largest and most advanced ships - in their time! Either way, people are trying to compare apples to oranges here. Titanic is just better known mostly because it was one of the all time greatest maritime tragedies, many people don't even know it had 2 nearly identical sisters. Olympic served a fairly "normal" career, hence, no one ever paid much attention to it.

queen mary 2 isnt the biggest anymore the world largest cruise ship is made in germany at meyer werf (meyer shipyard) look at youtube or wiki for more information but wel the disney dream looks alot like a newer version of the queen mary 2 i have seen disney dream for real :) its bigger then any ship ever made.

@fighter4rent I'm not going to troll or anything, but thats were you're wrong. the titanic was a liner years ahead of its time, it pushed just about every boundry there was. it was the first ship to contain a swimming pool for instance. And the accomplishments of it's sister ship (R.m.s olympic) proved my point. The olympic was the first and only vessel to split a german u-boat in half, and carried hundreds of soldiers to and from a warzone, how does that not push a boundry?

yeah the classics just look the best, that is what real luxury is

[SWSimpson]

Oh, my mistake... I was thinking of QM.... I dont' know enough about the QM2.... I do love these beautiful ocean liners... I do not care for the ships that look like a floating Las Vegas hotel. I like the more classic designs so I can't really answer your question with any valid response... I would love to see QM2 up close and personal... that would be nice.

it was the original queen mary that served in the war not the QM2
