Titanic Belfast Grand Staircase

I attend at the Museum on tuesday 1st May having travelling from England specially and was disappointed that there was no sign or anything about the grand staircase. It was not until we were in the taxi going back to the air port that the taxi driver told us that you do not show the grand staircase to jo public but ony for corporate events and that we should have insisted on seeing the staircase in which case it would have been made available to us. Why is this, we feel we have been somewhat cheated particularly as the museum was fabulous ansx we had a wonderful day it was very memorable for my sons birthday as he has always been interested in Titanic.. We have a very enjoyable day out and also visiting the dry dock which was not mentioned . Why is it that we were not allowed to see the staircase as we understand is is finished and why if we had to pay extra to see it was it not offered to us?

I am bringing my two Grand-daughters from England to see the exhibition in July, will we not be able to see the Grand Staircase as part of the tour?

According to the news tonight, the grand staircase may be "one of the key features" but it is not part of the tour. So your expensive ticket will not get you to where the staircase is. Personally I would prefer to see the replica interior included for visitors, and not just for functions.

This is NOT a "recreation"...???

Having reviewed the website, it appears to confirm my suspicions. The replica staircase is part of the corporate suite and will not be seen by the general public visiting the building.

Sorry but theres nothing " Near Replica " about this, its a terrible shame and a waste that they didnt do an authenitc replica of the real staircase instead of this bizzar shaped staircase. the only likness with this and the original is that it is made of wood, designwise its like comparing a Car and a Bike.

i have always been intrigued by the real stories of the Titanic, the people, and the events. I do also admit that I am a fan of the fictional movies. Thank you for sharing your recreations and facts.

Saw the stairs last night on the news being lifted up six storeys. My heart almost stopped, I can imagine what it was like for you guys. I work in the industry myself and can appreciate the level of craftmanship that you guys are producing. Keep up the good work.

I think the staircase is coming along very nicely, and it's being built in the country where the original was more than likely crafted. This one is being crafted by equally hard working and handsome guys!! :)
