Ghosts of the Abyss
April 13, 2009 by Family Cruises · Leave a Comment
Walt Disney Pictures and James Cameron, the Academy Award(R)-winning director of TITANIC (1997), present the groundbreaking cinematic achievement GHOSTS OF THE ABYSS. Joined by his personal friend Bill Paxton (TITANIC) and a team of the world’s foremost history and marine experts, Cameron journeys back to the site of his greatest inspiration — the legendary wreck of the Titanic. During the voyage, you will explore the entire ship, deck by deck, room by room, encountering mysteries that have remained hidden for almost a century. Revolutionary underwater robots were designed and built solely for the purpose of allowing the explorers to peer deep into the remains of the once great ship and bring those surreal and haunting images back to the surface. Loaded with never-before-seen footage, revealing interviews, and innovative DVD bonuses, this unprecedented motion picture event is a must-own companion for anyone who loves TITANIC.

5 Stars Awesome
I’m pretty much obsessed with Titanic and other shipwrecks. This movie was very cool. Nothing was taken from the wreck and it provides a great view into something that we will not be able to see anytime we want.
4 Stars A fascinating trip to the Titanic
What made this so interesting was the march of technology - New was a huge light (requiring another ship) called Medussa that was lowered 12,000 feet over the ship. They also had digital recreations on the wreck of the original structure superimposed…
The bridge (among several areas) came to life when they used this digital recreation.
They also brought 2 remotely piloted robotic cameras named Jake and Elwood (Blues Brothers fans I would assume!) that took you into the interior of the ship.
There was some sadness even today when you saw a woman’s still laced shoe and realizing that the body was long gone…
This is one DvD that doesn’t stay in the shelf long - I have watched it repeatedly.
And I saw the tie in to Cameron’s 1997 movie when I realized that this Russian deep sea exploration ship was the same one they used in the 1997 movie…
5 Stars Excellent and informative.
Excellent and informative documentary. Underwater filming was beautiful. My daughter loved it.
5 Stars Amazing footage for the shipwreck that is the TITANIC
Follow director James Cameron as he dives into the deep ocean dephs to find the famous shipwreck that is the TITANIC. Cameron’s film shows footage that has never been seen before. Watch Cameron and his crew dive all the way to the ship that was supposed to be UNSINKABLE. Cameron takes you on a jouney that you will never forget! He and his crew take you to the Grand Staircase, Molly Brown’s State Room and other places that have not been seen before. When James Cameron and his crew are exploring the Titanic they end up loosing both of their robots that go inside the ship. They eventully find their robots and return to the surface from exploring the greatest shipwreck of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 Stars Ghosts of the Abyss
Great Film. The insertion of people walking the decks once again puts the Titanic in the first person.

5 Stars Very Helpful Book
This book was awesome and such a great help for our trip. The charts for each park that shows fear factor and height requirement was super helpful. We also bought the other unofficial guide to Disney and this one was by far the best. This one is easy to read and direct. The other book adds alot of unneeded jibberish.
5 Stars Great Help!
This book puts the reader right on track. It answered questions I didn’t realize I needed to ask.
2 Stars Waste of $$$$
Waste of money for me. If you have never been to Disney before this book may be helpful to you. I have been several times with husband, friends, and adult family. We have our first trip coming up with our new family member - our 18mo little boy. The focus of this book is “with Kids”. There was nothing of use to me in this book that anyone who has been to Disney even 1 time would not know already. Not much “kid specific” information. Disappointed. So if you’ve been to WDW before and are now taking your kids you should know everything in this book already. Good for 1st timers only.
5 Stars This book saved us time and money $$
I bought this book looking for insight as we had never done Disney before and were going to be travelling with 4 children. What I found was a huge wealth of information and money saving tips. This book saved our sanity and wallets!
5 Stars Don’t Plan a Trip Without This Book
As a single Dad, I found this book to be invaluable. It was a quick read. I was able to plan everything before I left so that I could enjoy Disney World with my children while I was there. Buy it, read it and follow its advice!
