I believe you can see where the stabilizer compartments were. But I believe they were sealed externally in the LB conversion. [Non-text portions of this...
Most of the conversion work was done at Pier E , not in the drydock. In 1968 the QM was in drydock briefly to sandblast and paint the hull, add the propellar...
Welcome...=) The first time I went to the ship I was 16 and Disney was running it. I was so frustrated becasue I could not find any of the rooms I wanted to...
I have heard the city of Long Beach is VERY difficult to deal with. Disney may not have been the best thing for the ship and the theme park around the Queen...
We see recommend the following: Hold # 1 - use it as the first stop on the tour of the lower decks. It would be reached from R deck forward by utilizing the...
I am really impressed with the forward B Deck museum. I've spent a lot of time looking at things there and the ship would really benefit from more of these...
I agree with you Dan. They could take the area they developed for the new cruise ship sign ins (I've seen it used ONE TIME) and display things there. There is...
Has anyone ever toured the White House or Mount Vernon? When you toured the White House were you looking at exhibits in the hallways and rooms -- or were you...
Bill, I've yet to tour the White House, not having been out to DC yet, but hope to soon before it's all gone (thanks to W). I've often wondered how much is...
Yes, that space would be better served as museum space, but in addition to the current space on forward B Deck. I've been through forward B Deck one time...
LOL! Why even bother making the doors watertight? I think that is the only watertight bulkhead not compromised, am I correct? -Mike wcyclops@... wrote: ...
Dan, The QM need not be a static museum. In AV we suggest functional uses for all of the major rooms that are in keeping with their original design and...
Hello wcyclops, Yes, I have been on a tour of the White House. Are there any specifics your interested in? June wcyclops@... wrote: Dan, The QM need not...
June, The point I was trying to make is that when you tour the White House, you see the principal rooms looking as they should. And the rooms are used for...

Hello, I haven't added my thoughts in a while, so I figured I'd do so now. It is interesting to hear everyone's views on the historical displays on the Queen...
Hold # 2 - the larger and most impressive hold is now obscured by the large elevator installed for the Ghosts and Legends tour. We would have its G&L elevator...
It's great to see after all the personal attacks and childishness that conversation is now turning back to where it rightly belongs - quality discussion of the...
The guided tours on the Queen Mary are both informative and entertaining and the tour giudes do a comendable job. I recently had an outstanding experience...
Let's leave the captains quarters alone, it's one of the very few preserved spaces on the ship. Open it up to guests and it's just another hotel room. Bzzzt...
I don't know that I would take out the elevator though. Right now there is only one functioning elevator on board for visitors. What about those who have...
Bridget, Recall that we would fit a lift/elevator in the hatch of hold # 1. The tour would proceed aft on the same level to the stern and exit by the...

Hi Matt-- I share Dan's concerns about maintaining the historical integrity of what's left of the deck officers' quarters (such as it is!). But I think that...
Bill, The after elevator took passengers down to the cabin class swimming and gymnasium. Removing them was another travesty. I spent quite a few hours...

I thought I'd heard just last week that she has since been repainted a much more dignified color scheme. I'd love to have a chance to sail on the Waverly,...
