The historical Queen Mary...

4.00The historical Queen Mary is a sight to behold. She holds her own as she gloriously rests along the Long Beach shoreline. Breathtaking on approach, the wind was quickly deflated from our hopeful sails when the person working the front podium exuded such negative and unfriendly vibes, we nearly turned around and left. Once aboard, though, we were happy to have persisted as EVERYONE else was extremely welcoming and gracious, particularly Marvin in the gift shop and Leo, our waiter, as well as the female bartender in the Promenade Cafe. We didn’t have a great deal of time to explore, but we left at sunset for a pleasant and relaxing stroll back to our hotel, which was less than a mile down the walking path by the water. After hearing about the possibly haunted areas of the ship, we probably wouldn’t stay overnight, but for the paranormal enthusiasts, it’s a must do!
Its fabulous!

5.00Took the 1 hour Haunted Encounters tour and our guide Roger did a fantastic job of storytelling! I don’t think the tour would have been the same without it.
I love exploring the Queen Mary

5.00Roger was our tour guide and he was awesome! The way he would tell us stories about the ship definitely added a more creepy element to the already uneasy room. He also would tell us all sorts of facts about the ship. Answered all our questions with knowledge. He was truly one of the best guides I’ve experienced. 10/10!! Definitely will come again.

I've done this tour before bit saw different parts of the ship this time and learned new things as well as revisited the old amazing sites.
