Farewell Dinner

 

Farewell Dinner

 

Your last night aboard ship . . . soon the cry will ring out ... "We dock soon, Sir!" It is the sincere hope of the United States Lines that your crossing has been delightful . . . that every expectation, as you gaily strode the gangplank, has been fulfilled. How much it would mean in the furtherance of our service could your innermost thoughts be plumbed ... could we share intimately your likes and dislikes . . . as you sum up your voyage! Radiant indeed would be a tapestry of service woven solely from the fabric of your likes . . . embellished by the highlights of pleasant surroundings, associations, new friends, new faces, new experiences . . . things we trust that have made your crossing a memorable one. Unless there is a an of regret in your leave-taking . . . as tomorrow's clocking hour looms . . . we shall have fallen short of our ideal . . . the perfect interlude at sea!
