My friend and I stayed overnight at the Queen Mary the weekend of 5/18/24 and took a 2-hour ghost tour. During the tour, they let us inside room B340, and the engine room where a guy was crushed by door 13. We also went into a room where a piano plays by itself at all hours of the night. We only got a tiny peek at the pool, which I remember from an Unsolved Mysteries episode. Such a fun visit.
I’ve been on the Queen Mary and never did I feel any kind of haunting.
3am is known as the witching hour. The time when spirits are most active. I'm a "sensitive" and have experienced many spirits so I would not even go near that ship. I definitely would not go near the pool. More than likely, these are residual hauntings where they don't realize they are dead and they repeat the same actions.
My friend experienced a spirt in their room,,,,said it was real they almost jumped overboard
I would still go. It's a DOCKED ship lol I get sea sick
Well I have never ever had a supernatural experience and I've been wanting one so yeah I will stay over night there soon. And tht whole 3am thing, I don't believe it cuz I usually go to sleep at 4 or 5 am listening to horror stories and all and as I said nothing has happened.
Oh Bill and Lisa, you are such a lovely couple.
And as a former crew member aboard the RMS Queen Mary, I would like to thank you for the kind review and video.
You both did a beautiful job with your filming and presentation.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your UA-cam videos.
Our pleasure! The Queen Mary is a classic and happy to see her being restored and cared for now. Thanks for watching!
I used to work there...way back in the 1980 - 1993! And I can confirm it is haunted!
That dome used to house the spruce goose. I was born and raised in long beach and I have always wanted to stay on the queen mary I love this. Thank u guys for always bringing me a lil taste of home all the way here in Alabama
You’re very welcome! We’re happy the ship is being restored to her glory days.
Do it
I have booked for January for my 70th birthday. This is on my bucket list. I swore I would spend the night as soon as they reopened.
Enjoy your stay on the QM, Lou Ann!
Back in the day the Queen Mary was a troop ship during ww2 it also it brought British
War brides over after the war I was on the Queen Mary, May 1948 I remember the promade deck but spent my time in the hospital on the lower deck Thank for the tour & memories ❤
Thank you for being so sweet and taking a picture with me today at Sams! You guys are the sweetest, so nice to have met you today. ❤
Our pleasure, Linda! Tell your Husband to go shopping with you next time so we can all be in the pic. LOL!!
Good job, guys. I came here after watching the Amazon Great Ships show and QM was an episode. Did you know QM was nearly scrapped 3 times? After her first time being dormant for about 3 years it took 4 years just to remove the rust. That's insane. Thanks for the tour.
Didn't know about 3x, but knew it came close to getting scrapped. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Bill and Lisa for an extraordinary tour tour of the Ol’ Queen Mary. I read many articles on this ship and for you to show us around was amazing.
Thanks S! We're happy to see the ship getting restored back to her glory days.
I have fond memories of the QUEEN MARY back in the mid-1970s when I first went on board at the age of 7 when my family lived in Long Beach. I am a regular Carnival Cruiser and I always see the Queen Mary whenever I go on cruises but I haven't been aboard since 2012. I plan to visit again as soon as all of her restoration has been completed. I would like to see her in her full glory! I hope the City of Long Beach will go through with plans of developing the Queen Mary's dock area as a boardwalk entertainment center with several restaurants, bars, retail stores, and carnival rides for kids. This boardwalk development would bring more visitors to the Queen Mary and ensure income to keep her maintained for decades!
We're Carnival cruisers too and always see her before pushing off.. beautiful!
I love that u two are a married couple who seems to have do much fun together😊 I love watching your vlogs & watching u guys enjoy so much yummy food!!
Thank you so much!!
This is so exciting guys!..I always wanted to see the rooms of the hotel inside the Queen Mary!… what a treat to my eyes!… Thank you 🙏Guys!
You're very welcome!
The chapel is beautiful inside i was in a wedding there when i was a young girl.❤
I had a couple of ghost experiences also when i was in my 20's
Hey guys, GREAT review of the ship. Travelling to the States from Australia in May and think you have convinced us to spend a night in board. Oh, and thanks for the heads up on booking a tour early so we don't miss out!
Jason Queensland Australia 👋
Our pleasure! Have a great time!
Hi Bill and Lisa. I really enjoyed this one. So interesting. I have my Husband watching you now because I am always talking about your trips. You both keep people watching. Take care....
Thanks so much! Hope your husband enjoyed the vlog. =)
I love you guys! What great tours. I feel like your my friends and have known you forever. Keep up the good work👍
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for sharing your day and night at the stately abd newly renovated QE. It brought back memories of past tours I've taken on board.
Our pleasure!
Omg first time watching your channel and was shocked to see all the performers that I love performing there.❤
Welcome to our channel, Yvette!
👍Let's partay!
What a fun July 4th!
Thank you for taking us along.
Not sure if I would spend the night as I have seen shows about the Queen Mary and the hauntings.
Personally, the recording sounds like you had another roommate you couldn't see taking a snooze. 👻😱
You and Lisa with the Partay! LOL!!! Roommate... maybe! As I commented here elsewhere, when I recorded that sound clip, there was no 'knocking' sound, only the snoring. Also, not mentioned was the 3 kicks on the door earlier that evening (looked in the door peephole, no one there).
@@billandlisa OK, this sent chills down my spine!
@@yvonneacosta2539 Us too. lol
I was just there in mid-June! I stayed on the Queen Mary for 1 night prior to boarding a cruise ship. It was so easy to walk across the parking lot. It was really neat to learn all about the history. I wish I would have had time to take a more in-depth tour but the general tour gives a great overview. I highly recommend staying!
Agreed, very convenient for Carnival cruisers.
I've toured the Queen Mary (a long time ago). The fireworks are 1 of the better shows out there.
Yes please the best ever hotel
Awesome one guys!!! And the “ghost” room was funny as hell. Lisa couldn’t wait to jam out!
No joke, she didn't want to walk towards the room with me. Did you make it to the end with the sound clip? Funny thing was, when I recorded the clip, there was no 'knocking'.
@@billandlisa I did. Anything ghosts and stuff, we’re there.
Wow very interesting about Queen Mary thank you very much for sharing this with us…..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bill & Lisa...thank you for the great tour of the Queen Mary! Really enjoyed it. You two are great tour guides! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your video… you guys did a great job. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Heard a while back they were going to cut it for scrap. So glad to see it has been restored! Would love to see you guys try the Champagne brunch.
2 of the Very best in the Business Cheers 🍻
Bill and Lisa, Thank you so much. The RMS QUEEN MARY is sooo special. Enjoyed this sooo much! ❤❤❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vlog.
You guys are so brave!!!
It’s sad how sensationalized all the negative things said about the ship while she was closed. She was not sinking. That was a plumbing leak. Still bad. But still very different from a hull breach. She’s been mistreated so long and it’s so wonderful to see her come back to life and be truly cared for.
I love seeing your experience aboard shortly after she opened. Look forward to checking out your Sunday Bruch video. Since last year, so much more has been done. And I love how you highlighted entering the ship like entering the Carnival cruise ship. I hope one day the entire land surrounding could transform into an Art Deco 1930s style British shipping terminal to REALLY immersive visitors into another world, another time, like they’re really about to set sail. It’s a lot of undoing previous neglect and recreating original features present during her sailing days.
thanks. love family
This was... different. 👻
Thanks for sharing guys. 🎆🎇 🚢
Lisa! Imaculant? You totally made up a new word that is utterly brilliant and makes total sense! Can't resist you chirpy little cuties. With love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
LOL!! Thanks so much!!
@@billandlisa hahaha! Keep being you two. It blumming works 🇬🇧
I stayed at the Queen Mary in January 2020 with friends. We had a great time.
**FUN FACT**
*After the movie TITANIC was released in late 1997, the Queen Mary had a surge in ticket sales to where the attraction doubled in ticket sales! The ship's cabins were fully booked by couples trying to relive the romance of Jack and Rose.
*The Disney Company once owned the Queen Mary in 1988 but it failed to attract visitors with its HAUNTED SHIP concept in the early 1990s. Disney later sold the Queen Mary when plans for PORT DISNEY were abandoned in 1992. Disney never wanted the Queen Mary but acquired it as part of a package when it took over the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim Ca. Disney never owned Disneyland Hotel until after the actual owner's death in 1984.
I had stayed on the Queen Mary when it was part of Disney. Have an amazing week. Cheers.
Yay I was just telling my husband I need to watch your channel cuz I have a feeling you would drop a new video and boom there it is ! My Sunday has officially gotten better ! Love you guys and thanks for the new video !!!
New videos drop every Wednesday and Sunday. Thanks foe watching!
Thanks for the tour of the Queen Mary. Great info. Thanks and take care.
Our pleasure!
This would be a great place for raves or cyber jazz
Ahh, I'm hoping to visit the Queen Mary in August, and am so excited. I recently stayed on the QE2 over in Dubai, and was actually quite disappointed - excited to see how QM fares!
Happy Sunday 😊 and Let Party Party. 🥳 and Thank you for Share your video ❤ and Have a Amazing week ahead. ❤
Thanks so much!
Beautiful fireworks and your smiles tell how much you enjoyed. Thank you for sharing ❤
You're very welcome, Linda.
Nice to see again, Had dinner and saw "Ike and Tina Tuner review", and in the other ballroom danced to "Les Brown and his band renown", over 50 years ago, time flies when your having fun. 🙏🏼
Wow, 50 years ago! Very cool.
I dont know if I could sleep there but your stay on the 4th of july looked really fun
Thumbs up good watch ⌚ 👍 👌
Great tour of The Queen Mary! Nice food and fireworks 🎇
Thank you! 🤗
Aloha Bill n Lisa Modelo time ,that was the best part of the video.Hey that was one OBAKE you heard snoring, Yikes!! lol👻👻🤙🤙
For reals! No joke!!
Awesome this is amazeing thank you ! I wanna go one day 🥰🥰
Thanks for the trip on Queen Mary
Our pleasure!
Love the video keep making more.
Very interesting video on the Queen Mary! Thank you for the shoutout! 🎉 Happy Belated 4th!
You're very welcome!
So enjoyable
Cool🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩!
The video: an overnight stay aboard the Queen Mary
'shows a picture of the Belgenland in the thumbnail' 💀
Jokes aside, this was one of the best in-depth reviews of the Queen Mary that involves purely her hotel accommodation and not her reputation as a ghost ship like most others talk about. Glad you enjoyed your time back on her! I'm still waiting to go just once.
As for B340, I'll be that guy. That was never an original room aboard the ship back in her service days. Before her remodeling when she arrived in Long Beach, that area as well as some of the other surrounding cabins was made up of about two smaller Tourist Class (Third Class) cabins. And most of the ghost stories aboard the ship were apparently made up by previous management such as Disney to promote her as a haunted ship. Not to say there aren't ghosts aboard or that B340 isn't haunted - by all accounts there are - but just a bit of trivia. :)
Good info! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the anniversary and birthday shoutout! This was a fun (and not scary!) video! ❤
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
How exciting ❤ I went on the ship in the 70's and it was serving dinner then ❤
Hope more of the upscale restaurant and options (like the Sunday Brunch) open again soon.
We may book to stay next March before our cruise. Interesting our Dad sailed on this ship in December 1941 when he was in the Army going from US to the South Pacific. He said by the end of the sail they were rationing water so no showers. He returned to the US after four years of service. I think it would be cool to walk the same ship he did over 80 years ago.
That would be very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! U guys really get around!!!! Lol!! Love it!!!
That sandwich looks amazing
I haven't stayed at the Queen Mary Hotel since the early 90s. And yes, I remember the thin walls.
i would be so nervous standing anywhere in that ship. in the 1970s i went there as a kid and the tour guide said there are areas of the deck that are just boards now and below you is a deep part of the ship
Wow Bill and Lisa! You are aboard the Queen Mary fantastic!! What a great Revue! I have always wondered what it would be like to be aboard that ship! It's great that you could still spend the night there! Probably the most Historic ship ever built, beside The Titanic! Thank you so much for showing us around!♥️♥️🍹🎶
Thanks so much!
Another great video in my hood! 😂😂😂 havent been there since i was a kid!!!! Cant remember what it was like but im glad you showed us a tour of the queen mary!! Thank you 😊😊😊 the chicken and pizza line looked crazy!!!!! 🎆 🎇 🧨
Thanks Beverly! We heard from the staff they were sold out at 3500 people for this event. There was another line for hot dogs and hamburgers and that was just as long. So glad we ate early! lol
Hey Lisa- thanks for saying hi to us the other day in trader sams!!
Lisa said thanks for stopping by!!
Love the fireworks!! Ships are fascinating with all that history! Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!😱
Bloody Mary... You're bringing it back, Winnie! lol
Good gosh l love this ❤❤❤❤❤ do more
I stayed on there in 1986. Then you could tour the whole ship on your own. The engine room and indoor pool. They also had a window where you could also see one of the props.
I stayed there about 7 years ago, prior to going on a Carnival Cruise. I took the night tour, it was fantastic! My room was originally, no amenities. No hot water... Boiler wasn't working. Loved all the history. I'll have to come check-out the changes!
We had hot water, but no AC. lol
Love your Queen Mary vlog. Wife and I are having a wedding anniversary on 8/7. 28 wonderful years. We wish a shout out. Thanks Nelson & Gigi. We watch you both all the time.
Thanks so much! And, absolutely! Look for it in a couple weeks.
Wow!! The Qyeen Mary is so beautifully refurbished. I hope to take the haunted tour one day. Thank you for your tour!! So awesome!!
You're very welcome!
Good Morning And Happy Sunday Bill & Lisa ❤
Happy Sunday, Christine!
As a Long Beach resident, I'm glad they decided to restore this beautiful and historic ship. I stayed there for two nights before the pandemic.
My goodness, 2 nights? Why on earth could you have found to do on there for two nights?
Stay again ☺️
Love the Queen Mary we stayed June 30th we just missed you got on carnival July 1st. Love your videos. We will be back on her September 9 then of to Alaska for 2 weeks
Have a great upcoming cruise, Linda!
Lovetheship
looked fun ty
Wow awesome video of queen Mary’s ship. Looked like a mansion inside and all the preserved artifacts make it memorable for tourists. Music and fireworks were fantastic. Great job !! Love seeing both of you every Sunday ❤❤🥂
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!
I, would love to spend an weekend there😍!
We stayed in the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas, which is part of the battlefield during the Alamo, that was probably the spookist place we stayed at. My wife's stuff was moved around, while we were out.
Yikes! We visited SAT once, but stayed at the Crockett Hotel.
Never knew you could stay on the Queen Mary. Looks very interesting. glad you had fun. Hope all went well at the dentist. Can't wait for your next travels. Stay safe.
Worth the stay if you want to check it off your list. Dentist went well, thank you. =)
I didn’t know you could go this. Loved it! Thank you
You're very welcome!
Lol! Bill and Lisa said the magic word “Haunted” and my other word “Ghost”…I’m going to have to research the sightings…thanks for the idea of staying there overnight before catching cruise ship next door! Should do this closer to Halloween! That’s great they found people to preserve the ship and those photos look great walking through time. I’m thinking when it’s cold and foggy would the ghost sightings happen. I’ve only seen videos of the buffet there. That’s awesome to see a fireworks show! I think since they renovated they may have released the energies of the spirits that were trapped on the boat from a long time ago. So hopefully their souls are peaceful now…take care!
An absolutely spectacular video of the Queen Mary today, great job Bill and Lisa. Speaking of haunted places, have you stayed at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego? Heard that place has a lot of haunted history as well.
Not yet! Maybe one day (If I can talk Lisa into it lol).
The Queen Anne Hotel definitely is hUnted. Several of us found out first hand and it really scares us. It was even on the haunted house tour.
Ahhhhh, Bill is so daring 😱
I’m glad they put in better lighting in the hallway. It used to be so dark, turning in the hall to go to your room, of course we had the furthest one 😮 I was so scared! The bathroom had the big open vent 😳 You are brave to stay again, at least there were quite a few people. When we went, after the ship was closed for the day, there were only a few people here and there. I wouldn’t stay again but I can say I did!
We remember the old lighting and lack of it down the halls. The white LED's do light up the aisles and halls much better.
Thanks for doing this review really useful am staying on board in November the room tour and food offerings were particularly useful ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed this my friends awesome channel
See you again stay safe and healthy always 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much!
Enjoy yourselves! 👻👻
Mahalo Bill and Lisa for the tour of the Queen Mary. This makes me want to visit out of curiosity. I might encourage my friends to check this unique tour and experience the whole thing. Keep safe you two and I truly enjoy your channel 👍🏼😉🤓🌷🌈.
Thanks so much!
That was fun. Thanks for sharing. Glad the ghosts didn't bother you.😁

Great video!! Recently my friends mentioned about all of us staying there overnight. Looks like a great place for a staycation. Thanks for sharing!!
You're very welcome!
What fun! And the original wood and etched glass throughout is just stunning😘
It really is! A timeless classic for sure.
Lisa didn’t want anything to do with that haunted room. 😂
Nope! lol
Thanks for the tour. I once took the ghost tour many many years ago. Kind of spooky. Not snoring. You encounter a ghost. Ha ha ha
If so, hope it was Casper. =)
