This was from a special luncheon onboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator for travel agents and press while in port in Vancouver 2010. The Compass Rose restaurant is an elegant dining room, with gourmet cuisine. The cover is designed in the shape of the waiter's dress uniform, gold buttons and all.
What can I say? Cruise ship menus can be an art form in itself. Back in the day, they had works of art on the front, and inside was printed the menu for that day, catching a moment in time. Now, ships have so many restaurants you can't try them all in once cruise, and the menus don't change. Celebrity's Eclipse even has a menu on an ipad! Here, I've shared some of my collection of ship menus - if you have any to share, please do!

Floating through Europe
This is a handwritten copy of the "farewell dinner" on our very first "cruise," a 13-passenger barge floating through Holland to see the tulips. Dated April 12 and 1
3, 1984. We booked this trip not really expecting much, and we had the best time. We're still talking about it 30 years later - the passengers, the crew, the food. The most amazing thing was that a menu like this was created in a galley the size of a phone both.
