Commemorative Menus
« on: Jun 09, 2011, 03:08 PM »
As well as co-ordinate all the special menus for the 40th Anniversary cruise (x 8 ), the Farewell Round Britain (x 10), the final esatbound and westbound transatlantics (x 12) and the Final Voyage (x 8 I think) I have also been responsible over the last 20 years for all the Commemorative QE2 menus - everything from Royal Visits to Anniversaries. I'll start posting a selection below.

However, one of the best things I think we came up with was this cover. It's the cover of a box that all passengers on the two Round Britains above and the Final Voyage received and it was for them to place their menus. I used to love seeing people clutch their menus after dinner. Incorporating QE2 with the ships of the past and using the tagline 'Taking her place in history' is something I am quite proud of.

Enjoy!
