Kris Grant invited me to join her aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach. What a magnificent brunch complete with a live singer, musician, and Santa—so good I forgot to get Eggs Benedict which is always a favorite of mine.
While touring this beautifully crafted ship, we loved the old wood found everywhere. Such variety used on this ship.
It was fun seeing families sitting together making gingerbread houses.
The state rooms are very large inside and even come with a sitting area to one side with a porthole to look out at the view.
The next morning before we left, we headed to the Starbucks onboard (because Starbucks is everywhere). When we entered the room, we glanced up at the windows and thought perhaps they were frosted glass. You couldn’t see through them. Nope, it was just fog which made us pause and sip our coffee.
A truly lovely Christmas experience!
