The queen mary Review

HANDS DOWN one of our favorite hotel experiences. For those who haven't stayed on the Queen Mary (or at least visited), you're missing out on a unique experience. Imagine if the Titanic hadn't sunk, and was preserved as a (reasonably priced!) hotel. It's a floating museum that dubs as a hotel complete with restaurants and preserved bars. Add to that a "Shining" vibe in a very cool old spooky kind of way (if ghosts do exist, I imagine they could be found on QM). Please, PLEASE
keep the Queen Mary afloat and in business. My wife and I still can't believe how so many people aren't aware of this gem. It's so freaking cool

Sadly, this is really not opened to the public. Lots of Hollywood trailers in the parking lot. We parked on some remote parking area and rode our bikes along side. The Queen Mary and adjacent area feels like a ghost town. Enjoy lunch at Fuegos and enjoy the outdoor patio and the view from afar.

This is easily one of the coolest places I ve ever been. I am a huge fan of ocean liners and the golden age of the old transatlantic voyages. It was so cool to see the ship and be able to explore while learning about her history. The tours were absolutely incredible. What s more, I am a huge fan of The Poseidon Adventure , which was inspired by this ship (and the 1972 movie adaptation was partially filmed on it). I came back here several times during my trip. It s really cool at night. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested, it is totally worth the price of admission. Plus, they have bars and restaurants on board. I don t know if they still do this, but you used to be able to go aboard in the evening (not sure what time this started) and the cost you had to pay at entrance (just to go aboard, tours cost extra) can be put towards your bill (I think that was how it worked anyway). It was really cool.

Don't stay here. Chose a near by hotel because the rooms are hilarious. Our professors regretted it when they walked into the B&B yachts we stayed at across the way.

None the less, go here and explore. Explore every inch. It's beautiful especially for those who love that period and antiques. The bar was so pretty and I got pretty drunk, the drinks are not watered down. It was busy but thr ambiance was perfect for a small table of friends or colleagues to chat.

I went to the restroom and pleasantly got lost! They say it is haunted and maybe it is. I did not see anything creepy. The deck is really cool too. What a beautiful place.

Firstly, this is not Titanic! This ship has its own history to bring to the plate! I love learning history and experiencing old worldly things that were made 100s of years ago! This ship is said to be one of the top 10 haunted places in America and what s to think about in spending to see for yourself what was considered royal at a time??! I would like to plead to the owner though, please keep up with the maintenance of this beautiful gem!

We love this place! Such a unique place to be able to visit. While it is not a sister ship to the Titanic, the resemblance is certainly there. It s wonderful to be able to explore the ship and see what it has to offer.

When we visited we were able to stay overnight on the ship which was also a lot of fun! It wasn t the most luxurious accommodations, but our room was certainly comfortable.

It was sad for me to hear that the ship is currently closed. I hope that it s able to reopen one day! It s such a special place.

Had to jump out to take a couple quick photos before the "security" guards chased us away. Apparently the bankruptcy assets must include any close images! Ha! Anyway, it was cool to see the port as we drove in, and then went to the aquarium side to get good pictures of the Queen and the Soviet Scorpion sub. If they ever open her up, I look forward to actually seeing her.

This historic floating hotel is one of my favorite points of interest! While it normally hasn t been included when I take my group around LA, it s an awesome sight to see and even stay at, when going down to Long Beach!
If and when the ship is open for tours once again, it may be well worth the time and effort to see while in the area. Until then, perhaps I can relate some of my experience here.
Taking the Queen Mary tour is like having a look back in time. From the helm with it s obsolete equipment, to the wood-grained hall s and stairways, this ship is a relic!
The old bridge navigation equipment was on display, along with the brass helm wheels and relay levers.
Downstairs engine room operations were were also displayed for visitors.
I was impressed viewing the captains quarters, tho sympathetic of the much smaller passenger room, or lack thereof! Nowadays, these tiny spaces are more of a novelty to sleep in.
There s a modern cruise ship station just beyond the stern of the Queen Mary. People I ve taken on tours while in port from there, mention having been or wanting to tour the old ship.
There s a seaport village dockside, with quaint British styled shops. Parking is plentiful with the time stamped ticket stub to pay when leaving.
Public buses from elsewhere, including the Long Beach Transit Passport, make regular stops thru the parking lot as well.

I like it the tours and the old fashioned thing and th merchandise is awesome
