Gee, the ship looks so beautiful.  It is so sad to see human error cause a disaster that takes lives of people who only wanted to enjoy time with a loved one or friends.

"Sad" and "human error" are definitely some good theme words here.

Even while it is laying on its side in the water, you can tell it was a gorgeous ship!  You were fortunate to have been on it. . .In January 2008.  What a difference 4 years can make!  Gorgeous pictures too!

Nick & Trudy- yes, we cruised on her in January 2008.  The cruise left Italy and went to Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Cypress and it was a beautiful ship.  The trip itself was very life-changing for my wife and I and it's just so surreal to see it laying on its side in the ocean and knowing our feet were on that ship.

Glad you went, enjoyed and made it home safe and sound.  Sadly a different story for so many families now.

David, it looks like an absolutely beautiful ship.  Every one I know that has been on a cruise has loved the experience, and one person's error shouldn't detract from the industry.

Karen & Toni- I agree she looks better right-side up and it's better to remember the ship this way.

Wow David!  And four years later, in such a disaster!  It's really too bad.
