I’ve always wanted to stay on The Queen Mary, and I genuinely appreciated the incredible historical aspect of the ship. Walking the halls felt like stepping back in time, and I completely understand that not everything will (or should) be updated—that’s part of the charm.
That said, our suite had a few issues that detracted from the experience. The sofa was completely collapsed in the middle, making it unusable for sitting comfortably, and the mattress felt very old and worn—it really needs replacing for a better night’s sleep. The mini fridge leaked onto the carpet, which wasn’t ideal either.
On the plus side, I loved that the suite had two separate bathrooms—a rare and very convenient feature.
However, I can’t imagine staying here during a hotter time of year. With no central AC, only fans were provided (and we definitely used them), but the room would be unbearable in real heat.
Overall, I still appreciate the historic value of The Queen Mary and the unique experience of staying aboard, but a few key updates (especially the sofa and mattress) would go a long way in making the stay more comfortable without taking away from the ship’s charm.
