Beautiful time capsule and in urgent need of repairs My family has stayed several times on the Queen Mary. It is like stepping back in time - you expect Cary Grant to walk around the next corner! The lodgings and eateries are incredible! The staff is friendly and professional and goes above and beyond in all ways. But this is more than just a beautiful old ship with good restaurant and hotel service and good staff.. It played multiple key roles in the Allied war effort in WWII. This living chunk of history is in desperate need of our help! The City of Long Beach has recently re-acquired the QM, and its last owners did not do the needed maintenance and upkeep. When the City took it back over, they had a meeting to figure out what to do with her, and horrifyingly, there was a suggestion to either sell her for scrap or scuttle her for an artificial reef!!! This ship is where Churchill signed the orders for the D-Day invasion that secured an Allied victory in WWII, among other accomplishments in its long and storied career. During the COVID crisis, the QM has been closed, so I don't think you can walk aboard and talk to someone. We need to all contact the City of Long Beach and send money! Look up the address on their website as TripAdvisor wouldn't let me post it on here. The Statue of Liberty's torch was saved in the 80s by a mail campaign asking kids to donate five bucks each - I know - I was one of the kids who sent in five bucks. This site needs to be preserved for the future. Please help save the Queen Mary! The stunning beauty and historical importance of this ship cannot be overstated.

This was really fun We had a great time. We did the midnight haunted tour.... even if you don't believe, you will have a great time. The rooms were very comfortable. Its history is amazing, and you can really feel it. Staff is quite pleasant.

Time capsule We are reading some reviews of the Queen Mary and feel that they are very unfair. We booked two nights as our first stop from the UK on a fly drive through California We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel pricing was very reasonable and value for money. The beds were large clean and comfortable. People need to realise this is 90 year old ship undergoing renovations, Its not going to be perfectly plastic. The food was lovely and staff polite and helpful. We unexpectedly bumped into the hotel manager outside the swimming pool area and we’re given a free personal tour including locked areas. He disappeared as quickly as he arrived and to this day we’re not sure if he was for real or a ghost! If you love your history and want a unique clean value for money hotel we would thoroughly recommend. In addition the water taxi from the ship across the bay was a bit choppy but shout out to the brilliant captain who kept us safe And entertained. Bargain price too!

She's Closed! Since the pandemic, she has been closed. Getting near her to take pictures is an obstacle course. There is a covid testing site in her parking lot. According to the news, she in poor condition, in need of extensive repairs and at risk of capsizing. So sad for something so beautiful!

We love Long Beach and the Queen Mary! Erika_Stebbing has done several photo shoots here. Very large, historic ship. The hotels are great, fresh seafood, fun nightlife. We visit several times each year. Never disappointing and loads of adventure.
