Don't confuse this with the newer cruise ship, the Queen Mary 2. This is the original!
I love everything about transportation (both current and past). But this news just breaks my heart. The majestic and loyal ocean liner that transported British royals, celebrities and WW2 war troops is such a magical place. I have stayed there and visited it since the late 80's when I moved from LA to Long Beach. If you are interested in ocean liners and their illustrious past I'd suggest you go and visit the ship soon.
News reports suggest that The Queen Mary it is not long for this world. I truly hope this is not so.. See this article which says that the beautiful piece of history needs $300million to renovate: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4340748/Queen-Mary-ship-urgent-need-300M-repairs.html#comments
I was on that ship once, several years ago. It was a learning experience in that I never knew ships "bowed" downward from stem to stern.
