The public rooms are luxuriously appointed and inviting.
All staterooms are outside, splendidly furnished and equipped with beds-now berths. Each room has hot and cold running water, also fans, wardrobe, thennos bottles and reading lamps. Private bath, and showers in connection with many rooms perfect the travel comfort of tilese giant passenger liners.
The Cuisine is world famous. The deliciously prepared menus will delight you, And how the orchestra adds zest to your dining.
The decks are spacious. The Glass-enclosed Promenade always popular. Deck sports, open air swimming pool, movies, evening dances, everything has been done to make your trip a happy one. Unexcelled anywhere is the courteous and efficient servies accorded you by the trained personnel aboard the President Liners.
