SAMPLE DINNER MENUS

Captain's Welcome Dinner, English Dinner, Italian Dinner, French Dinner, Captain's Gala Dinner, & Farewell Dinner

(Keep in mind the menus change from cruise to cruise.)

The menus changed dramatically on my last cruise so I have made the changes where I had the information.  I did not get copies of the menus for the Captain's Favorite Dinner or the Captain's Gala night so I have used the old menus.
