Do you think the QM2 has the funds to bail her out? I didn't even know there was a problem with $$$$$.

QUEEN MARY In The Dock?
Reports from Long Beach, California indicate that QUEEN MARY is in default on her lease and the City of Long Beach has demanded USD$3.45 million from her operators, thus ending negotiations on rent credits and clearing the way for a possible court battle. For the last nine months, Long Beach has negotiated with Queen's Seaport Development Inc., which leases the ship, over rent credits the company has claimed since 2000. This dramatic turn of events marks the first time Long Beach has declared a default in QSDI's lease since J. Prevratil took over QUEEN MARY's operation in 1993. The city has demanded $3,452,098 in unpaid rent from January 2000 to December 2004 to be paid by March 6.

Grrrrrr!!!! Long Beach should be happy to have the Queen Mary!!!! Demanding money like that is extortion!!!! The Queen Mary is historical doesn't have to be a money maker for the city or for the owner. :o
