Queen Mary guests will also enjoy a dusting of snow, holiday carolers and steel drum band, and cookie decorating onboard every day and evening from Dec. 9 through Dec. 30.

Holiday celebrants are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to donate to the Long Beach Fire Department’s “Spark of Love” Holiday Toy Drive.

The lavish buffet-style breakfast takes place in the ship’s elegant Grand Salon, the ship’s original first-class dining room. Brunch hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and prices are $39 for adults and $12 for children ages 5 to 11. Parking is $5 with validation. Call (562) 499-1606 to reserve.
