This room was designed as a completely new space and along with the tacky design treatments added did not compliment the ship's original late Deco interiors.

Was it located next to salon or Smoke Room?

The Midships Bar replaced the ballroom after the 1965-66 refit. The new bar was forward of the 1st class smoking room and aft of the 1st class main lounge (or Queen Elizabeth Lounge) on Promenade deck. The bar was decorated in green leather, yellow and orange with simple columns supporting the simple high white ceiling. The curved green leather bar was positioned aft w/dark rust-orange bar stools. The primary color combination used in the other 1st class public rooms were blues, dark red/rust, cream along with plenty of dark wood veneers w/nickel accents and fixtures.

There was a Writing Room(Portside adjacent to Salon), a Nursery(Starboard next to Lounge), a Salon with dance floor in Bewtween 1st class Lounge and 1st class Smoke Room and also smokestake.

Did Cunard removed a salon only?

On the deck plans I have (one issued in the early 1960s and one in 1966) shows the 1st class lounge is followed by a writing room and ladies lavatory on the port side and a nursery on the starboard side. A starboard side corridor connected the main lounge w/the Midships Bar. The Midships Bar ran the width of that deck between the glass enclosed promenade decks.

The salon with dance floor replaced by Midships Bar and was extended to full width as like as Garden Lounges.

Do you find a dance floor in the Midships Bar and any more changes in your dck plans?

The QM1's Observation Lounge and Cocktail Bar on Promenade Deck is shown in the First class deck plan(1/53) though deck plans of Tourist Class(9/64) is shown the Observation Lounge and Cocktail Bar(on Promenade Deck) and Garden Lounge(on Main Deck).

The QE1's Observation Lounge is shown in the deck plans of 1st class(L.P. 39/181).

I read the twin level observation lounge which had for many years afforded a sophisticated view of great bow plunging into the waters of Atlantic had been converted in to a simple pub
