Is there anything included with the stay ?

How do you mean, Tony? Meals or special events? Tours? I don't think so, but I just wanted to get the cabin booked as it is a 'must do' whilst we're in California. Will probabaly look into specifics in a few weeks. Can you suggest anything we should consider?

I hope you have a great stay on board

I am sure they would have told you what is included so I guess it is just the room.
Is there a website you went to ?

Yes, Tony I think it's just the room. They have special events throughout the year, but we will be there just afterChristmas/New Year so it may be quiet at that time. I booked it via www.queenmary.com would you believe!! The golden age of sailing and the modern technological age coming together in a website. The original travellers wouldn't even have used that word - website. Imagine that. Anyway - take a look - it looks magnificent.

Thanks Nauti Not very expensive either, for a piece of history.

Looks like there are some dockside events at certain times.

Wow Norman, she looks like a pretty good ship for her age. I did not expect to see a lot of pictures when I created this thread.

No matter how expensive the restaurant is, I want to eat there. Of course, because I am not taking a Carnival cruise I want to sleep near San Pedro, not Long Beach. However, I do want to tour her. I told Mom I want to board the QM and she agreed.
