The Queen Mary Hotel
Many of the festivities took place on the Queen Mary. Once the most luxurious cruise ship of its day, it is now perminantly moored in Long Beach Harbor and is used as a hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Engine Room
On Saturday morning, we went and toured the engine room. We met one of the people who worked in the engine room back when the Queen Mary was still travelling the Atlantic. He had some great things to say about the ship and its workings.

Sunday Brunch
The formal dining room has been used for the Sunday Brunch. The dining room is as beautiful as ever. The wood is all perfect and the murals have been beautifully preserved or restored.
