While a bit pricey, the Queen Mary is a So Cal must see. Explore the engine room, private quarters, old staterooms of this ship that is larger than the titanic. Take a self guided or the elusive guided tour around the 40's era legend. The ship is rumored to be haunted and is marked with plaques all around about its numerous ghost sightings. There is a ghost tour full of Disneyesque special effects and for the morbid, walk down to the isolation ward to learn about all of the different deaths on board, and view the embalming equipment used on these late passengers. The restaurants range from casual to fine dining and staying in the hotel is a creepy treat, though somewhat expensive. Ask for one of the recently remodeled rooms.
