- I stayed on The Queen Mary before going on a cruise out of Long Beach, California. This video tour of Queen Mary shows most of the public spaces as well as my stateroom which was a Deluxe Stateroom.
Some of the spaces were closed during the time of the recording so I was not able to film every area. Hopefully this overview video will give you an idea what it's like to be on this magnificent ship.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

In 1986 my high school senior prom was on the Queen Mary. Toured her twice with my parents in the late 70's. Great memories.
Was IT scary
lucky you
my stepmom died there
Yelli Orenz oh jeez sorry for your loss I know how it feels I lost my uncle 3 months ago
Hey went on the Queen Mary in 1986 to. I wonder if they still have the old telephone booth on the ship!!
Queen Mary is a must when you are in California. This is more than a fantasy for ship buffs, this ship is a movie star, a war hero and a historical landmark.

The ship looks dated, needs updated carpet, furniture, and a wave rider pool with a super drop slide!
She is such an elegant old queen... I'd love to go there.
so is Joe Biden
It is haunted
I was a war baby born in England in 1945 to a Canadian soldier and his English bride. When they brought the soldiers home, Mom and I came over to Canada in August 1946 on the Queen Mary. I still have the immigration landing card at Halifax stamped the Queen Mary. I have visited the Queen Mary several times on visits to LA. It never fails to fascinate me. Too bad the promenade bar was closed as it was the best part of the ship.
@Allan Ritz What a great story! I wonder what ship my father can remember what ship he was on when he immigrated to Canada in 1952?
@@crazycatlady4023 Presuming he arrived at Halifax, google Pier 21, which is where immigrants arrived. I did a tour of the place ten years ago and was told they kept all the records of arrivals, and one can access them.
My grandfather was in World War II as a admiral of a Australian fleet but sadly he died of a heart attack (died) May 15, 1942 :(
In 2011 my wife and I rode our motor cycle out to see the Queen Mary. We took 2 of those guided tours, had a lunch in one of the cafes, then took the tour of the Marine park, like Sea world. By your that time it was 3pm & I hadn't even toured the ship yet, so I asked the wife, do you want to spend the night? She looked at me with big eyes, are you serious? Yep!! So we got a 2 port hole starboard side state room over looking the harbor. The wife took a nap, chronic fatigue syndrome, while I walked all over the ship. She called me when she woke up. I retrieved her & we went to a nice on board restaurant. The hostess asked if we had reservation's, ah no. Oops big mistake on my part, so she asked if I wanted to make one, well YA! OK, 9pm she says. Oh boy, it's only 6pm, so I took the wife to all of the places I'd looked at. We had a great meal @ 9pm. Then back to our room & to bed. This was Saturday, so Sunday morning we hear about this Sunday brunch in the first class dinning salon. I asked at the front desk. It was a little to pricey for me so I said we'd check out, to which the lady says, oh you stayed with us last night, then the brunch is half price, still a little steep but hey you only go around once, so we did it. Great vacation memories!!! I'd like to do it again someday.
Thank you. Queen Mary is one of my favorite places on Earth. There’s nothing else like it. I’m planning on sailing in the QM2 in Summer of 2023.
At 8 months old I sailed to England on the Queen Mary from NY. Not telling my age now ! Wish I could have enjoyed the ride !
Ann Nunley how tf do you remember tho did they showed you pics?
Really old
You could be 54-84. That’s cool. I always wanted to ride on the Queen Mary when it was still sailing.
In which year?If you don't want to tell plz say before or after or during Second World War
Aw Ann come on, spill the tea lol :-p
Enjoyed my high school prom 1984, best ever. This ia a huge part of history we have here in Long Beach. Talk about stepping back in time. Great tour, thnx!
Great tour
My Dad took my stepmother and surprised her when they went on a trip to California.
They stayed on the ship and loved it.
My stepmother said she had a dream that night about her late Dad who was serviced on the ship during the war.
Very special.
Thanks
My Grandfather made 42 wartime crossings of the Atlantic, in charge of taking taking troops over and bringing back the injured, dead, warbrides and mail, etc. Pretty sure he was on this ship.
Left New York with mom on that ship during 50s. Father was in military.
So nice that this beautiful ship has been preserved. Sadly the last of the "titanic" trio megaships was destroyed in 1935. How amazing would it be, if it was saved to visit on an harbor somewhere in the world?
*Olympic
This is the closest we have left both from connard and White Star
I like this ship because it sort of resembles the Titanic, and as someone who likes the Titanic this is a must see ship. Has very similar looks in the way it was built to Titanic, and how White Star Line ships were made
The first ocean liner ever and the very last ocean liner still exist . The SS Great Britain and the Queen Mary 2 . Also the Nomadic is another ship that has been preserved
This guy’s voice is soothing.
Love the horror stories of this ship!
You did such a good job narrating and filming; you have a great voice.
Such a beautiful ship I'd love to go see her someday
I went to stay a night on her🚢
@@yourlocallunamoth3098 isn't she haunted?
She's haunted 😂
I’ve stayed there before
@@abi7736 Myths?
Man, I wish They could make this ship to sail again!
What a fantastic job you did showcasing this remarkable ship . Thank you
I see her daily on my morning walks around downtown Long Beach. Nicely done ✅
Omg... You are amazing... Your voice is excellent for this.. Thanks so much for the information and for sharing...😉
(1930s) Wow, this ship is amazing! Should we go to the dining room for this evening? Nah let’s get some Starbucks 💅🏼
I’ve done a couple visits to the QM, one in 1974 then again in 2006 and enjoyed them both. It’s interesting to compare the original with the QM2 which I’ve sailed on, on four occasions. I must admit the QM2 decor wise is much more pleasing on the eye, though there is lots of wood, it’s so much brighter and spacious, the cabins with their modern furnishings give you much more feeling of space, also helped by having balconies which give the rooms so much more natural light. It’s a bit like comparing chalk and cheese when touring both liners, but the grandure of the old Mary has a lovely feel about it, however when sailing across the pond I know which liner I’d prefer to be on, yep, the QM2.
i used to visit the whole ship along with a special friend back in 2001 for my birthday. great memories
What a beautiful ship!!! 😍
I went there with my family 2 yrs ago. We took the haunted tour and saw the room that could be rented for a lot of money. It’s sad that the Queen Mary is closed due to Covid-19. I’m glad we got to go when we did.
I was aboard back in April 2016. Very nicely layed out inside and reliving history, to think all those dignitaries were aboard. I actually did the ghost tour which was interesting. I suppose you keep an open mind, but thought the food and service were exquisite. Would love to re'visit someday.
The only ship left with funnels. Love the old ship designs
Modern ships have funnels too. They’re just smaller.
Sometimes I wonder why they changed the funnel design
Ss nomadic is older than queen Mary and is held in Belfast
@@TheMyolkMan because ships nowadays don’t use coal to power them
SS United States, PS Waverly, TSS Queen Mary, SS Nomadic
Really enjoyed this presentation. I was five, and my parents took us to Vancouver. I still have the china set in my home. It was 1945, I believe ..
Great job with your commutation!!! I was a flight attendant for 32 years and that was layover hotel for us
Great video!!!! This is my favorite tourist attraction!!!! I have been there many times when I lived in OC. It has been six years since I have been there last. So I am due to visit this famous ship again. During July and August, it is a beautiful place to watch the sunset. I have been on many tours as well. Thanks for letting me share.
Great video awsome ship with plenty history i wish one of the Titanic sisters was around for this reason.
The Olympic was retired and after it did was token apart and used for scrap that’s why there’s no titanic sister left the either sank or scraped
@@noahjames4035 I know
I wonder if the Olympic and Mauretania were scrapped because of the Great Depression. So many were sad to see them go, including President Roosevelt. I know the idea of preserving ships probably wasn't as prominent because they needed more and newer ones out of necessity. But I wonder if they were at all considered to be saved. Was that done at all back in the day when ships were the only way to cross?
Plans to turn the Olympic into a hotel in Southern France were proposed but fell through. There were many other ship hotels that didn’t last long either.
White Star may not have made reliable ships, but she made beautiful ships.
I would love to tour her some day it is on my bucket list for sure,thanks for sharing this video.😊👍
I got to go inside of the bridge back in may, 2013. Time flies...
Great tour! Thank you for this amazing video both the quality and the sound
That was an amazing video! She's still big and still well locked after and loved!
About as close i can get to living back then and as close to the titanic living nowadays, thanks for the video upload
The S.S.Nomadic served the Titanic in Cherbourg. Nomadic was completed 1 year before Titanic. In the 30’s Nomadic also served Queen Mary and Normandie
@@iloveclocks3988 SS. Nomadic also has elements that are similar to that of RMS Titanic. She has some wood paneling that was created by the same craftsman who built Titanic.
We are staying there during the Great LA Air Raid event coming up. Also, one of our WWII vets sailed across the Atlantic on his way to Europe during WWII. He said it was very crowded. Can't wait to step back in time.
Be sure to take several of the tours of this ship. It really is a wonderful experience stepping back in time on Queen Mary.
I love ur channel because cruise fever and I’m with this guy I’m a history geeek! I love this crap
And u use to be able to stay in the most haunted room in it but it got closed down
Just subscribed, you give detailed tours of these ships, so I know actually what I'm getting into. Keep up the good work
My prom is going to be at the queen Mary in 1 week! 😬 very curious to explore the paranormal side of it..
You should.. it's very interesting
sooo....did you get to go to prom? xD
@@Lonystal yeah, it was awesome. Didn't find any ghosts tho...
Love the Queen Mary so much went there 3 times, 3rd time brought my mom it is worth the visit
This is a great video, good job and thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TOUR.Got too old to muster it in live so really appreciate it.Good job
6:52 It's Queen Mary ... obviously
I visited the Queen Mary in 1994 and 2014. Great video.
Great tour. Thanks.
This is a very nice presentation. Thank
My parents took us aboard this ship the 3rd weekend it was open to the public and we were able to see the ship in Battleship Gray while she was undergoing renovations to become a museum.
I ate aboard in the Verandah cafe and Sir Winstons in the early 80's and back then the food was fabulous and in my stomach worth every doolar spent!. I was last in Los Angeles 2018 and very disappointed at the state the ship is in. Even the SS United States is fairing better but cannot go aboard. Great Video
Awesome! Thanks so much!
When I was on there I did a haunted tour and my 8 year old self was scared shitless. The only reason they have the hotel is so you can experience how haunted it is.
Great tour, very well hosted!!
Great video thanks!
🌺Very nice tour thank you...
Wonderful place to stay. We stayed on her twice. If I could do it again I woul
Thanks for sharing this tour. :)
What an interesting and well done tour you gave, even if brief! My late father was one of the American troops who rode “the gray ghost” to Europe during the Second World War, and I grew up hearing stories of his experiences while crossing on the Queen. Because of the vast number of soldiers crossing on each trip, the passengers were limited to staying in certain areas, to not upset the balance of the ship (failure to comply could result in time spent in the brig, or she ship’s jail!), so my dad would have enjoyed seeing this (and other) tours on UA-cam that exhibited the parts of the vessel that he had missed. At any rate, I have enjoyed seeing them on his (and on my own) behalf. Thank you for taking the time to make and post this, and I hope that you enjoyed your cruise! : )
This ship doesn’t go anywhere.
@@danielledewitt1
When I said “enjoy your cruise” I was referring to the comment of the original sender that he had toured the Queen Mary prior to going on a cruise on another ship. I have long been aware that the QM no longer is operative, but is a tour site, and a piece of history.
@@janetryan9779 Fair enough.
Excellent photography, great pan shots without making the viewer dizzy. The only thing better would be if you could have had access to the whole ship. Thanks.
Awesome video
Nice Vlog, Thank You for sharing this. I have always wondered what this Vessel was like inside.
The last tie I was on her I was 9, just a few years after she docked in Long Beach. I'm planning a cross country Amtrak trip and am going to be staying for at least 3 days aboard her before flying back home. I'm hoping to do all of the tours and quite a bit of exploring on my own. I remember being in total awe as a kid with the Queen...
Thanks for sharing
I stayed there a year ago with my friend before we left on a cruise. It was nice but it was super hot , no air conditioning
I have walked all over that ship many times over many years. It looks like they have added some things since I was last there. I would encourage people to just walk it yourself. Spend hours so allow all day.
I would love to stay in this ship at least once.
Old friend, passed last year, 95. He was taken to Canada to train as a pilot. He said after basic training and flying selection, they were told to board train to Scotland. Then to coast to board small boat. He said they didn't know where they were going. Soon though the small boat docked along side Queen Mary. He said he had never seen anything so big. Apparently the ship was too fast for U-Boats to catch up.
My grandad was on queen Mary in the early 60s
My grandpa was on there in the 1940’s for World War 2. Visted there too in 1990’s when I was 6.
That’s kinda cool
I’d love to see this. I never been to California, I’ve never had any knowledge on Ships, I’m just learning a little history.
Beautiful room
Wonderful video
Seriously THE QUEEN IS ON TOP OF THE WATER
Still floating shes been floating since 1936!
Got chance over NYE 2019. Only stayed one night before heading to Catalina. Was great experience. Clean quiet room, loved the deco. Limited dining over holidays but still had grand time. Looking forward to going again.
FYI inspoted to visit this website today while watching episode of Scorpion, they did show on board.
Great video. We were booked in to stay in April... but ya know... covid.
Kind of reminds me of the Overlook Hotel... maybe its your photography
0:50 and 11:47 Could you imagine how beautiful a sunset like that would be from the stern if they hadn't put that cruise ship terminal right there?
Seems real experience in this with revits, stiffeners, Promenade decks and The engine thank you..
Went on this amazing ship during Christmas time of 2017 and it had a lot of paint work being done. Half of the ship was painted and the back wasn’t! Had a very fun time exploring the ship and idk why people say it’s haunted when I never got that feeling on the Queen Mary.
C.F. ,, GREAT WONDERFUL VIDEO!! I HAVE STAYED ON THE Q.M. MANY OF TIMES AND DIFFERNT ROOMS THE SHIP IS GRAND ,WE LOVE IT .. SO SAD THE SHIP IS CLOSED NOW !! AND THE CITY IS NOT TAKING IT SERIOUS.. BUT THE PEOPLE LIKE MY SELF ARE.. ALEX ,, PUTS OUT LOTS OF GREAT VIDEOS ON THE Q.M. ALSO,,..I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO VERY MUCH ,AND HOPING SHE WILL OPEN UP SOON IN 2023, LIKE THEY SAY BUT WILL OPEN FOR HALLOWEEN BUT NOT TO SLEEP, THE Q.M. IS NOT HAUNTED.THANK-YOU!!!
A beautiful old British ship.
Beautifully done, very nice music, thank you! The "Royal Salon" would probably have been used as ball-room. The modern phones, hairdryers, ironing boards, and vending machines are a big no-no for such a well preserved historic space.
@Railfan 765 Good to know! Greetings from Switzerland!
Thank you
That’s cool, the USS enterprise also earned the nickname grey ghost because of how many times the Japanese reported her sunk
Thank you for doing this video my God mother travel on this ship in the 1950's from Southampton to NYC,. I am imaging how in awe she must have been.
My dad was in the army air force and he was on the ship going to England for WW11.My husband and I spent our 25th anniversary.
Awesome. My dad served on the Queen Mary during World War II. I would love to visit it one-day.
Hi first of all I love this video. Second of all has the Promenade Cafe been renovated are you showing us a before-and-after shot?
I Remember When I Stayed Here ❤️🚢
45 years ago me and my sister was on the queen marry looking all around it.
It looks really unique and amazing beautiful basically the Titanic feel I'm going there August I just booked vacation for this and Los Angeles then going to drive 5 days later to San Francisco Sacramento area stay there for 5 days bringing the mavic 2 pro drone To get all types of epic shots especially Lake Tahoe I can't wait to stay here though
Who asked you?
@@Moreno2774 shut up
4:26 there’s a wood panel there in some of the rooms that slides up to hide where the porthole is (they might be really dusty because apparently the hotel doesn’t know about em)
I’ve stayed on it , very nice it was , very spooky seeing the first class pool and a full tour of the ship
I love the queen, I hope to have my venue here for if I get married some day!!!
best ship ever
I stayed there for a few days in 2006.
It was definitely spooky.
I am sure they have done a bunch of renovations since then.
worked on this ship. very rough in winter on the n. Atlantic. little sunbathing.
If you get the chance, navigate your way down to the museum in the forward part of the ship after taking the Glory Days tour. The museum is in the former third class lounge, and the difference in ceiling height between classes is quite noticeable.
Sending love from Iran 🇮🇷❤️
I did that too I go to that hotel and then go carnival inspiration
We're staying for two nights April 2020 always wanted to check out this ship thank you for your tour it was the best by far 😊
I’m currently aboard. So far so good, I hope you enjoy it.
That's awesome Xavier have fun if you have time let me know how it goes
I'm pretty sure there is a model of the Titanic there too, it had two grand staircases. One is only three decks towards the stern, and the six deck staircase between the first two funnels.
Yes the Titanic also had an Aft Grand staircase. Alot of people don't know that.
Yes, it’s was not as nice as the forwards staircase, and it did not feature “honer and glory crowning time”.
SS Normandie caught fire in NY while being converted to a Troup ship. She couldn't be saved so she was scrapped. Still today, The Normandie is considered the most beautiful liner ever built.
Spent our wedding night on the QM in '86, planning on returning for our 40th anniversary.
She is back in city hands now and closed for critical repairs that leasers did not take care of. We stayed on her in the 80s for two nights when Disney was managing her. Booked an original first class stateroom and enjoyed it so much we decided to book another night. The 2nd room we got was some sort of weird remodeled interior space. 95 degrees and no thermostat!! I went back to the desk, and after some friendly persuasion they gave us the Winston Churchill Suite! The Queen is a one of a kind treasure and we need to take better care of her or loose her forever.
