I did not get to experience the Queen Mary. Upon arrival all cars were asked to turn away unless they had access to a music festival that was taking place around the location. The Queen Mary was not open to the general public or anyone who made reservations through Viator unless they had access to the festival. I did not know this nor was i informed about this when I booked my tickets.

We did the self guided tour. In hindsight a tour with a guide probably would have been a better choice. We spent 3 hours on the ship, read everything, saw the movies but somehow it felt lacking. The day we visited the shop was empty, so that was nice to have her almost to ourselves. There was a bit a parking/shuttle issue which washed time.
I'm glad we visited as I have read si much about the Queen Mary.

The road to the ship was super heavy. 20 minutes to get out of cruise port terminal traffic When parked at Queen Mary lot, guest services are very friendly and knowledgeable. Love to see the original parts of the ship. The engine room area was fascinating.

It's a lot of history. Really neat tour. The staff is really friendly. You can take your time to explore the queen mary ship. I'm so glad my husband and I did this tour.

The 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!

Didn’t realise the ship was a taxi ride form the centre of long beach. Once on the ship iit is to wander around and end the visit with a drink in the bar.
