At least we had A/C, when we did have. An IO cruise with three quarters of the cooling capability down is not much fun.

Didn't the America have transverse racks? I recall one of the First classes griping about that. Apparently they were no fun at all in weather.

IIRC, they were set up like a cubical, three port, three starboard, and three transverse.

I didn't even think of that...

eeewuuu...

... North Atlantic, Sonar spaces *right* above the cut-water. Rollers coming in felt like a REAL fast elevator going up, then bounced down 3 HUGE bumps.

Lather, rinse, repeat ... Endlessly!

Strapped into Stack seat, belts on, and 5-gallon bucket by my leg. Thought I was gonna die ... then worse when I realised I WOULDN'T, dammit!
