Hi Justin, I've been meaning to get back to you on this. I enjoyed reading your Queen Mary story. ... I'm not from Texas, but have lived here 15 years. ... We...
... Hi Sean, The only thing I know about Disney is what I've heard here: the damage done to the aft deck for the non-pool and the altering of the front part of...
Michael, You bring up some good counterpoints! ... Disney actually put money into replacing a lot of the tired and worn out things around the ship. Some...
I was a sporadic hotel guest during the Disney regime when they ran the QM as owners of Wrather Port Properties, Inc. They definitively spent a lot more money...
They definitively spent a lot more money on maintenance of the ship than either the Wrather regime that proceeded them or the RMS Foundation than ran the ship...
Bill and Sean-- Thanks for explaining more about the Disney era. I've not seen anything Disney that ever looked shabby, that's for sure. I guess your promenade...
Hi Michael, I've pasted below the text of a post I wrote a little while back about how Disney ended up with the QM in the first place. "In the beginning I...
Hello all! Â Â Â In one of my musings today I was fiddling with the idea of a computer center being onboard the Queen Mary. IÂ considered the third class...
See: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=64960459.blog Why is this initiative so successful? Because Cunard (or Cunardival) is giving...
Baxter, You bring up a good point about a private computer area. The ship currently has a "computer area" set up in the A Deck hotel lobby, although it is out...

Bill described a future succesful scenario where the Queen Mary offers visitors a wish enabling experience, but then goes on to finish with, "But will the...
Jeff, Thanks for the background. I didn't know Disney never wanted the ship and only ended up with it as part of a package deal. ... An backlot office barge,...
Jeff, Thanks for that post. You reminded me about some things I forgot about. Disney definitely had two factions at the time with the ship. Fix it up and do...
I'd have to say I prefer leaving this room more or less unused and locked most of the time. The paneling is so gorgeous in that room, I'd hate to see someone...
I was on the ship in early June, 1996, and there was no one on the bridge or anywhere else, except the radio room, answering questions. -Dave in Seattle...
Definitely true. When I caught a glimpse of this room when a guided tour was entering last summer, I was AMAZED at the condition of the paneling. Its almost...
Sean, you wrote: As for wireless internet, it was in and out when we were onboard last summer so we had to use the computers in the hotel lobby which were also...
Just for clarification, do you feel that the current hotel check in desk might be best suited under AV for concierge services and the travel bureau as a small...
... Thanks, Sean, but where's a photo of the inside of the Travel Bureau that everyone's raving about? [I took all the paid tours I could, and never was shown...
Well, it looks like it's back to the drawing board for me! haha Thank you all for responding, I was unaware of just how well the Travel Bureau is. I wouldn't...
