The dances are listed with generic titles like "Waltz" and "Two Step" rather than by song title, and the grand finale was a "Grand March Around Deck." On stiff cardstock, with a blue and white border decoration that includes Asian-style buildings and a two-funnel ship. The Cunard Line name at the top is embossed.
