The inscription reads "Bon Voyage / 'The Love Boat' / A.S.P. 1981."Rather than standard cruise line merchandise or a consumer souvenir, these custom-engraved platters were distributed as exclusive wrap or guest-star gifts during the height of the iconic TV show's run. Notable television stars and series regulars received these trays directly from the estate or production office upon concluding their appearances. For instance, documented auction records show identical trays gifted directly from the production company to legendary entertainers like Milton Berle, Dorothy Lamour, and Jim Nabors from their respective estates.
