I would like to delete following words(exactly, outdoor) and add as follows: Upper Deck Pool has been changed to a disco named A Club called Dazzles

Here is photo of Swimming Pool on Pont Superieur/Upper Deck

Basically puting an outdoor pool in the cargo hatch would've saved money beccause it would've been the same shape of the norway pool, but it could've been implemented on the france when it was cruising.

Bergensfjord' s outdoor swimming pool was located on the Upper Sun deck adjacent to the Bar. while Oslofjord did not.

De Grasse's Upper Sun deck was extended.
At least, Rasa Sayang's outdoor pool was located farther aft than Bergensfjord

"Our" table was the one in which the second couple is being seated. On a crossing in the Fall of 1969, we shared it with a Senior Executive from American Express and his lovely wife. It was the scene of fascinating dinner table conversations and food that was to die for.

Great pictures from the French Line brochures/deck plans! France was very elegent and her sailings were always exciting. I used to visit her in New York when I was growing up. If I go into Norway's theater and close my eyes and take a deep breath, I'm 16 again! It still smells like the France.

Of course, a pool sat in the middle, and you can walk in a fiberglass tunnel around it and look at the pool bottom though portholes!

So true....we have become a nation of slobs, eh? People used to dress up for air travel but anymore planes look like a slumber party in a dorm.

On "other" cruise boards, there is no end of complaining about formal nights and people who seem proud to put their Tshirts back on after dinner.

I read this the other day "We just returned from 7 nights on the Legend of the Seas, and fully a third
of the diners each night were wearing shorts in the main dining room."

I just can't understand why the 'No Shorts are not permitted in the main dining rooms at dinner' is not adhered to; it's not too much to ask, is it? I have seen standard of dress enforced & people turned away from the dining room, with a polite 'please change' request, quite a few times over the years, and none of them were even wearing shorts!

Those cabins sold as 6 outside single cabins and 2 outside two bedded cabins around the Patio on board the France.
