derekthesailor Posted March 28, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Can anyone confirm that souvenir menus are not provided in the speciality restaurants.:( It seems to me that with a fixed menu these would not be too difficult to produce and would be a nice reminder of the extra $$$ spent.

I have never seen a souvenier menu but you could ask the Maitr'd and maybe they would give you a real menu and that could be your souvenier:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spender Nui Posted March 28, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I can't answer specifically about specialty restaurants, but when we started cruising in the 70's, menus for the entire cruise were always presented on the last night, with a written sentiment and signature from you waiter. Just another of the many things that don't happen anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fblack Posted March 28, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Spender Nui: I too remember the "old" days when they gave us all copies of the menu. They used to give us a passenger list too. On RCCL, they do have small copies of the menu for Portofino. Too bad they don't do the same for Tuscan Grill or Murano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacramento_Kat Posted March 29, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I just found a box with all the menus my mom saved after a two week trans-Pacific cruise we took in 1970, when I was 10!! It brought back great memories. That would be something I would really enjoy having as well. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAV Posted March 29, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Crystal still gives away their menus, primarily because each night's menu is dated. They are also printed with the port you were in that day, or if a sea day, print the name of the next port the ship is sailing toward. A nice momento to take home with you! They also print a passenger list, however in recent years have given passengers the option not to be listed if they so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I can confirm that they do have them. They are all over the ship as advertisements for the specialty restaurants on most, but not all, the cruises we've been on. Sometimes full size and sometimes smaller copies. Here is a link to some current (March 2010) and prior ones on my photo site: http://simon-pics.smugmug.com/Cruises/Cruise-Ship-Rooms-and-Features/Menus-and-Information/4467773_J9pi2#822368006_5YeeN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekthesailor Posted March 29, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I think Celebrity, and other cruise lines, are missing a "Selling Opportunity" here. I am sure many would pay $20 or so for a souvenir book of menus from their cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
