THAT WAS THEN… THE LEGENDARY QUEEN MARY
Named after King George’s wife, the maiden voyage of the Queen Mary set sail in 1936. It pays to marry a king! At that time only the rich and famous traveled transatlantic by ship. Your fellow guests were Presidents, Kings, Queens and movie stars. Cunard represented an era of timeless elegance and class all its own. Remember to pack your best cocktail dresses! Whether a couples vacation or a singles cruise everyone must do this once!
Retired in 1967, and converted to a hotel in Long Beach, The Queen Mary Hotel is now everyone can experience. A Queen for a day! An extraordinary exhibit on display is “Diana – Legacy of a Princess” an extraordinary collection of Princess Diana’s gowns and memorability. Value hotel stay! A perfect weekend getaway!
THIS IS NOW – THE LEGEND CONTINUES WITH THE QUEEN MARY 2
Celebrity Style
Queen Mary 2 – What a way to travel! Elegant, refined, exciting and steeped in history. The flagship of Cunard. Launched in Jan 14 2004. At that time it was the largest, longest and most expensive luxury liner ever built. Remodeled in 2011. It’s the only transatlantic cruise liner to sail from Southampton to New York. One of the only ships that require formal dress every evening. How sexy is a man in a tux?
With a continuous wrap around promenade deck, (unusual) the 1st planetarium at sea, champagne bar, G32 nightclub, Canyon Ranch Spa, a Winter Garden and over 5,000 works of art what more can you ask for? (is there a more perfect romantic vacation?) One major difference? It’s the only three class ship at sea. Choose from Queens & Princess Grill, (special dining room, concierge and amenities) or Britannia. Where you dine is based on accommodations. Some love it, some not. The Wear Girls of course love to bring swimsuits and high heels! Just don’t forget your sunhat!
