SOLAS compliance has changed so many aspects of her design, including the width of the hull to make her more stable.
After the initial flurry of interest how many people do you think will want to sail in her? How many people will want to go in Third Class with its lack of amenities? How many people will want to cross the Atlantic in November or February when it is cold and rough on a ship that has limited amenities?
