Great. Many thanks for the advice. The dinner suit goes back in the wardrobe!

I get confused by what formal means. To me it means black tie for men. However I have seen formal defined as a jacket and open-neck shirt, which to me is semi-casual. From a Seabourn cruise perspective what is the norm please.

My wife has booked us on a cruise from Dubai to Southampton in April 2017 on the QM2. I assumed that once the ship entered the Med it would stop every day or second day at interesting ports, but unfortunately there are only three stops versus seven days at sea. I remember both P&O and Carnival cruises where on sea days there was nothing to do - I get bored witless sitting around. Can anyone convince me that there is an abundance of engaging activities to do on this seriously expensive voyage!
