AllenF Posted December 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is there any place on the QM or close by that you can buy a bottle of wine. We will be taking the super shuttle there from LAX for a pre cruise stay and dont believe the SS will stop for us to buy wine or will they?

snipper2 Posted December 29, 2008 #2 Share Posted December 29, 2008 There is a free shuttle that goes all around Long Beach. There is a stop at the Queen Mary. We stayed pre-cruise at The Coast and took the shuttle to Long Beach, found WalMart, CVS, etc., to purchase items for our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan to visit the QM next April (won't be staying there overnight) while visiting CA and would love to hear about your stay when you return.

Wineaux Posted December 29, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 29, 2008 If you are looking for a really nice selection of wine in Long Beach see if the shuttle with take you to Vin de Pays on Elm Street just south of 3rd street. http://www.vindepayswines.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumballz Posted January 2, 2009 #11 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Our room on the QM was quite a bit larger than what it appears smoothdancer had. Here's a photo we took standing in the small hallway that led to the two porthole windows, looking towards the beds (the bathroom is past a vanity area if you walk past the second bed). On the opposite wall from the beds (to the left in the photo) is a wall of closets and a mini fridge. And here is a photo of the two portholes. To the left is a sealed off room that is probably the size of a small bedroom or large bathroom. We were on deck A. If you're planning on staying at the QM, it's worth it to ask for a larger room. I have a review of our stay floating around somewhere on CC (unless it's been removed) with more information about our stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiyana4 Posted January 4, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for sharing your pics. We had only planned to visit the QM but we may look into staying here pre-cruise. Your pics are pretty amazing and the close proximity to the pier is definitely a plus. Just out of curiosity, is parking included in the price of the room? I know to visit it is pretty pricey to park for 1/2 day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumballz Posted January 4, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 4, 2009 No, parking is not included. It's $15 a day regardless if you park in the parking garage or in the QM open lot. We just parked in the garage so the car was there and waiting for us when we returned. (that was the rate when we went in October) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
