🇺🇸 Queen Mary Ship Hotel

📍 Basic Info Name: The Queen Mary (retired ocean liner converted to hotel) Address: 1126 Queens Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90802 Highlight: First launched in 1936—same era as the Titanic but larger and more luxurious (now a hotel + museum). 🚢 Stay Experience Retro Suites: Celebrity-Named Suites: We stayed in the "Windsor" suite (full of history!). Space Paradox: 3 rooms + 2.5 bathrooms (so spacious you might get lost!). But the beds are tiny! Two kids squeezed into one single bed like sardines 🤣 (check bed sizes when booking). Onboard Facilities: Free Museum: Original cabins, engine room, captain’s logs (kids loved the steering wheel simulator!). Playroom: Retro arcades & board games—kids couldn’t get enough! Oceanview Deck: Gorgeous sunsets—every photo looks like a scene from The Legend of 1900. 🍽️ Dining Recommendations Observation Bar (Bow of the Ship): Stunning night views + mocktails for kids! Chelsea Restaurant: Pricey but delicious—British afternoon tea is Instagram-worthy. 👻 Hidden Adventures (For the Brave) Ghost Tours: Queen Mary is dubbed "America’s most haunted ship"—nighttime ghost story tours (kids clung to us in fear!). Submarine Tour: A Soviet submarine docks nearby (extra fee)—must-see for military enthusiasts. 📌 Practical Tips Money-Saving Hack: Book directly on the for free museum tickets! For Families: Bring jackets—ocean winds on the ship are chilly! Nearby Gems: 10-minute walk to Long Beach Aquarium (shark touch pool is a hit!). 🌟 Final Ratings Family-Friendly: ★★★★☆ (minus one star for small beds!) Photogenic: ★★★★★ (vintage film vibes everywhere!). #QueenMary #LosAngeles #LongBeachTravel #HotelRecommendations #CruiseShip #UniqueStays #LuxuryHotels
