Commemorative Dinner

[Summergee]

Could anyone tell me the difference between dinner and a Commemorative Dinner. We have 2 on our cruise next week. If it makes any difference we are Grills this time.

We've only done one Commemorative Dinner, as part of the Jubilee celebrations in 2012.

 

We had a special menu with photographs of the ships and their connections to the Queen, I'll see if I can dig out my copy.

 

Are you on the Lusitania voyage ?

[Summergee]

Yes, we are on the Lusitania cruise. We have one dinner on 6 May for how Cunard helped in WW1 and one on 7 May for the Lusitania centenary.

Enjoy and please report back.

When we went Round Britain three of our menus were presented inside a commemorative booklet. I seem to recall that the booklets told the history of Cunard as one of our ports of call was Liverpool - the spiritual home of Cunard. We actually arrived in Liverpool at midday and I can honestly say that we've never experienced a welcome like it - it was amazing. I envy those going to Liverpool, by road or sea, at the end of May - you will have a truly amazing time. I presume the booklets that we'll receive on the Lusitania Remembered cruise will tell the story of the Lusitania.

We were on one of the QM2 10th annivesary crossings last May. There was a commemorative menu on one night. It was the same special menu in all restaurants and, even though we were in Princess Grill, the usual à la carte menu was not offered that night.

Here is the three-page menu for the 11 July 2013 Celebration Dinner in honor of QM2's 200th transatlantic crossing. Sadly, only one page for the food choices.

Hmm, doesn't look any more of a celebration meal than any other day.

I dug our Jubilee one out, the food part is very similar to the one posted above.
