Queen Mary


There she is, the good old lady. The RMS Queen Mary is maybe the most interesting point of Long Island, actually I don't know many other, though.

 Maybe modern cruise ships are bigger or faster or more high-tech, but nothing compares to the glamour of this old ship. 

 Nowadays it serves as a museum and a hotel. The hallways are incredibly long, I guess it's difficult to find a specific room here. Unfortunately there wasn't any door open, I don't know how it looks inside a cabin.

Communication central. Some guy was actually using the devices there, maybe doing some maintenance work..
 Nice view of Long Beach from a deck chair.

 They filmed a casting for American Idol there, strange choice of a location for a teenager show..
 Captain's living room, seen through a glass wall. 
 The famous dining room for first class passengers.

Long Beach lifestyle...would buy a jet ski, too, if I was living there.
