Creator's Key Takeaways

I know I wouldn't choose to stay here again, and I'm their exact target guest.

With all that said, you should absolutely come and see the ship yourself. It is absolutely spectacular.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Consider staying at a modern hotel in Long Beach instead for better value and comfort.

✓If you do stay, be prepared for no air conditioning in rooms and potential noise from nearby port operations.

✓Support the ship's preservation but be aware of the current hospitality shortcomings.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Room quality and maintenance — Be prepared for dated, poorly maintained rooms; consider the museum aspect more than the hotel comfort.

Lack of air conditioning — Bring portable fans or plan for warm nights; open windows but expect noise.

Value for money — Compare prices with modern hotels in Long Beach; the Queen Mary may not offer good value.

YouTube Video Description↓

I have always wanted to check out the world famous RMS Queen Mary, permanently retired from transatlantic service and dock in Long Beach California as a museum and hotel. I have therefore always been intrigued about the hotel aspect of the experience and the thought of staying aboard this grand liner has always been a really cool concept to me. However, I have always been aware of the rough operational history of the hotel and reviews haven't been too kind. So join me today in this sobering (and pretty rough review) to check out if it's any good and if it's worth the money!
