message: There was a disastrous crossing by the Rex in 1937, in which the passengers refused to obey the "stay put" orders as he ship rolled severely and the end result was that there were a surprising number of injuries among people who tried to negotiate staircases and failed, or got thrown into furniture or vice versa- and there was also a death.
I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the article. Anyone know more about it? --75.170.41.9 (talk) 03:13, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Anchor in Ljubljana Congress square is not from Rex. It was made in Koper (after WW2) and put to the place to symbolize that Slovenia has got the coastline back (for some time there was Italian borderline already in Postojna - the coastline was under Italian jurisdiction). Some turist guides say, this anchor came from Rex, but it is just a gossip. In the moment, I don't have reference by to prove this statement, but you can find none to prove this anchor is from Rex. Because it's not. That's why I am deleting a sentence or image from the article(s). Žiga (talk) 06:01, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Anchor

message: It's not entirely sure from the text whether the liner was sunk on duty, or if it was just parked up; there's an implication that it was parked up. Were there any casualties? Why was it targeted at that point in the war? I assume there wasn't much else to sink at that point. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 23:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore, why did the Brits find it necessary to sink the ship in September 1944 – one year after they ceased to be at war with Italy? (See Armistice of Cassibile.) At that point the ship had little or no military significance for either side. Sca (talk) 20:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

message: There are too many false statements in this article which I will remove in the upcoming weeks.
- There is no concrete proof that she was ever going to be named the SS Guglielmo Marconi. Especially since Mr. Marconi himself was a sitting chairman of rival Lloyd Sabaudo.
"Both ships were dubbed "The Riviera afloat". To carry the theme even further, sand was scattered in the outdoor swimming pools, creating a beach-like effect highlighted by multicolored umbrellas." 
- This may have been done for Conte di Savoia but I have to verify if Rex got the same treatment.
"Both ships were decorated in a classical style while the norm of the time was the Art Deco or the so-called "Liner Style" that had been premiered on board the French Line’s Ile de France in 1927."
- While Rex was definitely designed in the classical style, her consort, Conte di Savoia was not and thoroughly a modern ship. The exception was her ballroom which has unfortunately defined her.
- While Rex is definitely the largest of the pair, she certainly was not the fastest. Conte di Savoia outperformed during her trails and had the first opportunity at the record. Her owners and the public expected her to capture the speed record. She nearly succeeded in capturing the Blue Riband from the Europa. I believe she missed is by .02 knots or so; it was very close. It just happened that the Rex ended up being the lucky one in the end.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.56.181.195 (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
