The Queen Mary is such a treasure and you showcased it so beautifully. This makes the perfect background video for when guests are over, to beckon them to want to visit the ship themselves.
My wife and I are going to spend our 50th anniversary on board the Queen Mary this coming March. We were married aboard ship in March 1974. Really looking forward to a special time.
How special! Maybe you will encounter honeymooners while you're aboard! We honeymooned on her in 1984, and met a couple celebrating their 50th. Added something special to our stay. Happy Golden Anniversary!
No way! You stayed in the same exact room I did on December 23rd.. Two weeks ago! I have stayed on The Queen Mary several times and each time I discover something new. It is a magnificent ship! Thank you for your video!
I am so glad that you posted this update. I will be staying there in October. She looks like a lovely ocean liner that just needs lot of tender loving care and to be utilized for more events and hotel stays.
Of course there are no USB outlets. It's a retired ocean liner that was launched in 1934! I don't even like seeing TVs in the cabins. I'm looking forward to seeing her in April, she's my favorite ship. I'll be staying aboard her as well.
Yeah, but this is a British ocean liner that got retrofitted with American outlets. (My only gripe is that the outlets were all on one side of our cabin.)
Spent several days aboard Her,early 90's,as a Hotel guest,allowed to explore the lower deck Lounges,still 1930's,Bridge & Engine Rm,enjoyed the service of Bar & Dining staff,They will book tours,i went to Diesnyland,look forward to another visit,now she is open
Sad that the lifeboats are gone... I did leave my footprint in a teak board the last time I was there - staff had to help me - the deterioration of the desk has taken it's toll under my weight.
Thanks for taking the time to show the photo gallery. I've toured the ship twice and didn't have the patience to stop and read them all. Being old, I recognized most of them anyway!
Thank you for the memories. I stayed in her hotel February 2019, which gave me the idea for my bucket list crossing on the QM2 last month. I'm glad that they saved and renovated her.❤
Saw the ship at the beginning of October, she is a beauty, was going to stay on board but when I heard it was haunted my girl friend said no way but our time on board was great so I am hoping I can get her to stay on board in the future! Great video!
Planning to stay there pre-cruise in May of next year and this video was so helpful! I'm as excited to stay on Queen Mary as I am for the cruise that follows. Thanks for the vid.
I'm 7 and I really wanna stay at this place I'm really fascinated about the queen Mary I already know a bunch of about it I already knew it for 2 days and I know almost everything about the queen Mary
There were many changes added to this beautiful Ocean Liner.. The Queen Mary is the second biggest ocean liner in the world and QM2 is the largest Ocean Liner in the world.
Last night 1/13/24 my wife treated me to a night on the ship for my birthday and we were unpleasantly supersized that our deluxe harbor view state room looked nothing like the pictures on their website. It looked more like the standard room with wallpaper and not wooden panel walls. My birthday diner at Chelsea Chowder House was not worth the $130. I had the clam chowder which I give a 2 out of 5, a half dozen roasted oysters that were not good at all and a wedge salad that was good. My wife has the blackened salmon and mash potatoes that were good as well. The waiter was very nice but forgot things even that it was a birthday diner that was noted on the reservation...that OK we still tipped him well. This morning that meet with having to cancel the 90+ per person brunch due to not being able to take a shower due to no hot nor warm water, just very cold. We usually don't complain, we just don't return, but I want others to know what we experienced. My wife politely brought this to the front desk's attention, and they said that we need to contact Expedia and that the hotel ship will honor a partial refund. We see what happens.
I stayed aboard the Queen Mary at about the same time you did. We also had a deluxe harbor view stateroom, but ours had wooden walls .... The showers and bath had hot and cold water, and we managed to get to the superb brunch on Sunday. We didn't get to use the chowder house because of the need for reservations, so we headed "next door" to the Promenade Cafe which also served clam chowder (which was rather good).

We booked our room directly with the hotel. Our room was a tad chilly... I note that the room is equipped with historic climate control/heating that might no longer be working... I also note that the ship is better heated in some parts than in others.
They're still pushing that Haunted tour. I used to go see this ship every weekend in the 70s, knew many of the employees aboard, been in every nook and cranny of this ship, several times, never have I had a haunted encounter once. This haunted stuff didn't surface till the late 80s and 90s. But I'm sure it brings them alot of money.
I didn't realize the 1970s movie The Poseidon Adventure was inspired by the QM in the 1940s actually almost capsizing. I thought a rogue wave was more fiction than reality. Derp. I wonder if images shown on the QM1 of celebrities aboard the QM2, built in the early 2000s, were encouraged by Cunard? Regardless, it gives some publicity to their business. Easy to forget that in the long stretch of time, it wasn't too long ago when travel between the US to Europe was totally dependent on ships, not planes. Jet travel was originally treated like riding in a limousine. Nowadays it's more reminiscent of being in a bus. lol. The QM2 looks fancier than the QE2, built in the late 1960s & now a stationary hotel in Dubai. If the QE2 were in Long Beach instead of the QM1, its looks & history would be too much like something from era of The Love Boat. But the QM2, even though it's even farther from the early 1900s (& the Titanic), might make more sense if it too is eventually preserved. The QM lasted from around 1934 to 1967, a similar span for the QM2 would be from 2002 to 2035. Tour guides on the QM point out it has been in LB longer than it was sailing around.

Congratulations on your upcoming 50th anniversary. My parents were married on the same year. Hope you both enjoy yourselves.
MY GOODNESS! CONGRATS!
She's been a hotel longer than she's been an active liner

Thank you, Matt for sharing with all of us.
Your very welcome!
Thank You Very Much, last saw her in 1967 at Ocean Terminal Southampton.
No way! You stayed in the same exact room I did on December 23rd.. Two weeks ago! I have stayed on The Queen Mary several times and each time I discover something new. It is a magnificent ship!
Thank you for your video!
I enjoy the Queen Mary a lot. I'm planning in coming back soon.
I am so glad that you posted this update. I will be staying there in October. She looks like a lovely ocean liner that just needs lot of tender loving care and to be utilized for more events and hotel stays.
Thank you for your comment. I plan to be back soon.
She's getting that tender loving care as we speak.
@@wildsmiley She is it's just a long list because of 30 years of neglect!
This was great. Thank you for taking us with you.

Lol that's an ancient crap teevee
Yeah, but this is a British ocean liner that got retrofitted with American outlets. (My only gripe is that the outlets were all on one side of our cabin.)
We didn't really use the TV in our cabin.
My favorite part was your amazing narration
I'm glad!

Loved this! Stayed there in 2018 by myself. Spent a lot of time exploring and took it all in. 😊

Many thanks! Hope to visit one day
When I go on my cruises I always stay on the Queen Mary. She's right across from where my ship leaves. She's so beautiful and fun too.
The black and white bathroom is the best part. LOVE IT!!!
Looking so retro, immersed in pure history, love it !!
Really good video, showing lots of detail. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much.
I COULD JUST IMAGINE THE WATER COMING FROM THE ROOMS AND FILLING UP THE HALLS REAL QUICK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEZING COLD OCEANS!!
I'm 7 and I really wanna stay at this place I'm really fascinated about the queen Mary I already know a bunch of about it I already knew it for 2 days and I know almost everything about the queen Mary
According to legend, this ship is haunted.
There were many changes added to this beautiful Ocean Liner..
The Queen Mary is the second biggest ocean liner in the world and QM2 is the largest Ocean Liner in the world.
On my bucket list!!!
Enjoyable.
wow so interesting
During her refit there was USB Outlets, flat screen TV & electronic door locks added to all the state rooms.
What USB outlets? Flat screen TVs and new locks, yeah. USB? Nope
Please checkout more of my new videos.

Since I was satisfied with my stay, I'm not asking for a refund.

I believe in at least some of the hauntings, but my interest in the QM is that she's a legendary ship.
This was iikely a second class cabin. First class cabins were fully paneled in highly varnished wood veneer.
