What's wrong with Titanic?

Obviously I mean the movie versions, not the actual ship, we all know what was wrong with her!I was channel surfing the other night when I came across a really interesting program about all the historical inaccuracies in the different Titanic movies filmed since the disaster.
Unfortunately I only caught the last 10 minutes or so and I haven't seen it repeated yet but the bits I did learn where fascinating!

Did you know?

Do you want to hear something really strange?
I was shopping for a birthday present for my son Harry the other day, (he turned 3 today), when I noticed a book called 'The Wreck of the Titan' by a man called Morgan Robertson.
Nothing strange about that you may say. No? Well read on.

The greatest meal never eaten

I was watching a re-run of Heston Blumenthal Feasts on TV last night when I caught an Edwardian episode about the Titanic that I had missed the first time around. I wont go too much into details on the show, I’m sure you’ve seen it before and this is meant to be a blog about cruising rather than TV, but it got me thinking about how much dining had changed onboard over the last hundred years or so.

And before I get lynched by a lot of angry cruisers, I’m in no way saying the quality of the food has changed, just the style. But how much of a difference does the style/presentation of the cooking really make? Is a steak just a steak?
