I told myself, "This trip, I'm just gonna enjoy the Queen Mary. No rushing around trying to film all the hallways. No stressing about cameras or equipment. I'm just going to relax in a fancy stateroom for a few days."
....and then I found an unlocked door....
This is the Capstan Lounge, former 2nd Class overflow lounge turned Beachcombers Club turned Italian restaurant turned event space. Nothing but the deck equipment is original in this room. It was all lost during the Long Beach conversion before she reopened as a hotel. Similar to the 2nd Class Main Lounge on the deck above, this room was expanded into the covered promenade deck on the port and starboard sides and completely enclosed. As far as I'm aware, this is probably the least used event space onboard the ship. I've never seen events take place here, and as you can see in the video, half the room is used for storage of Christmas trees and tables.
