I think the idea of this memorial cruise is a bit weird because I cannot understand why somebody would take a risk to follow the same route as Titanic. Even if there was no risk at all I would not be willing to be present there and especially when some of your relatives died in that disaster. Firstly, it would probably be too painful to remember everything and secondly, I would probably just be scared. I think it is a nice gesture in some way but in my opinion, it remains weird.
