Judging by the collection of public rooms in all corners of the ship, three classes were melded together for cruising.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe array of First Class public rooms on Promenade Deck leads from grand Social Hall to nifty little cocktail bar tuckered into a stern corner.  A small Verandah Cafe above on Boat Deck looks like a nice place to watch the seas roll by.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cabins, even in First Class, don't have private bathrooms.  If you booked a cheapie cruise in one of the eight abreast closet-sized cabins on D Deck, you would have to hike up a deck and through a busy foyer to find the loo. Chamber pots undoubtedly were popular on D Deck.  The outdoor swimming pool is mounted forward of the superstructure with a small smoking room fitted in front as a wind block.  Judging from its position, the pool must have been fitted on top of a baggage hold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ship, alas, was lit on fire and scuttled by the crew in the opening days of WW2 to avoid capture by the British.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to very good condition with a little separation at the folds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52901072863513,"sku":"8619","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2236\/1411\/files\/8619.jpg?v=1785182711","url":"https:\/\/nautiques.net\/en-ca\/products\/columbus-1923-big-full-ship-cruise-plan-from-1931","provider":"Nautiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
