We visited the Queen Mary this summer. It was a pleasant way to spend the day. We went on the walking tour and learned so much history that is associated with this ship. Our guide was very knowlegable and shared much information with us during our time there. Later we checked out head phones and took a self guided tour... more

I did not mind the Queen Mary like some of the other reviewers whose comments I just read; I thought it was pleasant enough just to go browse around, but I would not pay for the ghost tour because - even though I am interested in paranormal stuff - it was just way too expensive and I knew it was... more

Don't waste your time or your money on this "ghost" experience. We weren't expecting to see ghosts, but on the other hand, we weren't expecting to be treated like idiots. I would do anyway with the "experience" and simply have a costumed performer point out areas. I didn't need the fake blinking lights and deadpan stupidity of the guides. more

We had a hire car and drove to Long Beach and found the Queen Mary easy enough. We got there early, parked but didn't realise there was a parking fee ($12) until we were leaving. There were only a few visitors in the queue but it took well over 30 minutes to get our tickets ... only 1 window open... more

A gem of a day. If you can - take the FREE shuttle from town so you don't have to spend the $12 parking. We went for the First Class - behind the scene tour and it added on to all the knowledge that you learn during the day. You can venture all over the ship and it is a... more

I thought I would plan a special mother daughter day and take my mother to the Queen Mary for Sunday Brunch. For approx $40 per person plus parking, it left a lot to be desired. I get better food at other buffets for less than a quarter of price. The place was so run down, the carpet was so dirty,... more

We arrived at the Queen Mary to do the Ghosts and Legends Tour, we gave up a day at Knotts Berry Farm to go to the QM instead. Big mistake. Firstly we were told to join the ghost tour in the engine room at 11.15am. We waited for a while and wondered why noone was waiting there. We went back... more

When the Long Beach Naval Shipyard was in operation in the 1990's Several of my fellow government employees and myself were residents of the "Queen" for over ninety (90) days while we worked down the street at the navy yard. Coming from the east coast; we were thrilled to be able to stay aboard such a splendid ship. The staff... more

As a day trip/tour, the Queen leaves much to be desired. The self-tour was badly marked, sparse...and when we finally found someone who might have some information about which way to go we were greeted with a less-than-friendly attitude, as if we were imposing. This "self-tour" was "free" to Californians, and worth every penny (and less!). And it wasn't exactly... more
