Whitjaw 0 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi we are going on our first cruise aboard Brittania in July and wondered how we find out when the formal nights are onboard. We have checked the personal organiser page and it just tells you how many there are but not when is it too early? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ahoy 170 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 You usually don't find out which nights they will be until you are on board as they can change from day to day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afcandrew 369 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 But to give you some sort of idea, they are normally held on Sea Days. The first is likely to be on your second or third night on-board with the last often on your penultimate night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sea Cruiser 89 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Usually on your sea days this was like it on our caribbean cruise Davybe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seven Seas 147 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As already mentioned above you generally don't find out until you're on board and they usally fall on sea days giving guests plenty of time to get ready at their own leisure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cruise addict 164 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As stated above the actual days for formal nights are usually on sea days. You will not know until you are on board which days they will be. You should however already know how many formal nights there will be on your cruise. Have a fantastic cruise.

Countrygirl 237 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 If you go to the help section on the P&O web site and type in "what will the dress code be when I am onboard" it will take to the section that will give you an idea of how many formal nights to expect. It won't tell you which nights but will give you an idea of how many to expect. As previously mentioned formal nights are normally sea days, enjoy.

iknowlescourier 207 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We are on Britannia going to the fjords on 9th July. If that is the cruise you are on I'm predicting the formal nights will be Monday (sea day) and Friday (Bergen) as the other sea day is the last night on board, so it will not be formal night then. Have a lovely time wherever you are going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Countrygirl 237 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Sorry KcG, but Sea days are not always Formal night on our 24 night cruise in Sept with P&O we only have 7 formal nights and we are having at least 14 sea days while onboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with Countrygirl. Formal nights are not always held on sea days. A port intensive itinerary would not allow for such a plan to take place so unfortunately, there are formal nights on port days on many itineraries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitjaw 0 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thanks for the replies we are going on the 14 night cruise on 22nd July. So can I pre-book a formal night before we go or do I have to wait until we're onboard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So can I pre-book a formal night before we go or do I have to wait until we're onboard? You will have to wait until on board to know exactly which nights will be formal, as mentioned before they are usually are on sea days but I wouldn't trust that too much as on our last 14 night cruise we had 4 formal nights and 4 sea days and only one of the formal nights was on a sea day the rest were all port days.

Ahoy 170 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 But I have always found that the 2nd night is usually a formal night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By and large yes Ahoy but I have known it to be on the third night occasionally. Especially if bad weather is expected on the second night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kimberly 0 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi, if you search on "P&O dress code which night" the P&O ask forum will bring up a list of ships , choose your ship, then hey presto the dress codes for every night. Have a great time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J.I.S. 4 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Easy. When you go on board visit the spa shop and enquire at the hairdressers. They akways know in advance to accommodate the ladies booking hair appointments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
