Another of the CGT's greatest triumphs also turned out to be one of "Normandie"s greatest flaws: her decor. The ship's slick and modern Art Déco interiors proved to be somewhat intimidating and uncomfortable for her travellers, with some claiming that interiors gave them migraines. It was also here that "Queen Mary" triumphed over her French rival. Although also decorated in an Art Déco style, "Queen Mary" was more restrained in her appointments and was not as radical as "Normandie", and proved ultimately to be more popular with travellers.
