Don't worry if you haven't made your New Year's Eve plans just yet. Most of us are busy trying to get through Thanksgiving, then Christmas.

For those who like to plan ahead and save a spot, an annual event complete with an ocean setting, elegant history, and fireworks to light up the night, celebrates its annual tradition to ring in 2011 like it has so many times. Queen Mary in Long Beach was built and launched in the 1930's and for nearly all the years of its existence guests have dined, danced, and romanced on New Year's Eve, either on the high seas, some exotic place, or in the romantic port such of Long Beach.

This year the annual New Year's Eve celebration invites you to trip the lights fantastic aboard the regal "Queen" that has brought joy to celebrities, royalty, and us common folks through countless celebrations on board the luxury, historic ship. The night of entertainment includes dining, dancing, music and midnight fireworks displays, all available in special packages providing accommodations in the ship's renovated hotel with rooms that have brand new decor and amenities.
