The most recent repairs have kept the ship on track for a re-opening in early 2023.
Some critical repairs on Long Beach’s legendary Queen Mary have been completed, city officials announced on Nov. 28, with a slew of others slated for completion in early 2023 — keeping the ship on track for a public re-opening in the next few months.
In June, the city approved a contract with Evolution Hospitality, LLC, to take over the Queen Mary’s operations and oversee the repairs, which included replacing the ship’s boilers, elevators and restrooms, plumbing repairs, and parking upgrades — all deemed necessary to ensure a safe reopening. That $1 million cost, though, will be covered by revenue generated through city-issued permits that allow filming and special events on the ship even while closed.
