Dress code on Oriana

We are taking our first P&O cruise on Oriana at the end of May, and have read some differing views on dress code for formal evenings.

I am not into ballgowns or even cocktail dresses, and wonder if an elegant maxi dress would be acceptable.

Any advice you can offer would be much appreciated.

Maxi dress would be fine. I am not a person for very fancy dresses and have a few maxi dresses I wear. You will be fine.:cool:

Had an enjoyable cruise on Oriana last November.

Formal wear for ladies ranged from full length evening gowns to pretty short dresses and black trousers with glittery tops. You will certainly fit right in, in a maxi dress. I have found I can get away with very understated black trousers or skirts with a black top by the simple addition of a brooch or a fabric corsage, maximum impact for minimal effort and no need to buy fancy evening wear that you won't get much wear out of.

Hope this helps

Thank you both for your replies and helpful advice re dress code on formal nights - only 4 weeks to go and really looking forward to our first P&O cruise
