Thanks for all your replies - CPS though good are tad expensive compared to others. I know a lot offer their driveways to park but always sceptical about this especially if owner asks to leave the keys with them. Looking at some of the others you have mentioned.

Apologise if this has been asked before but trying to find reasonable car park price for Southampton. Have looked on many site from companies that offer car parking to parking on someone's drive.

Can anyone offer any tips or recommendations?

Thanks

Firstly I have read all literature about dress code hence I asked the question.

The smaller lines where you could go casual apart from Gala night was the CMV, Fred Olsen and MSC lines and if you didn't want to go to Gala night you could still "doss" round in jeans and t shirt and trainers - comfortable wear and go watch the shows. Some dressed like us others in full attire.

The booking was made as a surprise and only found out recently but even dress code sounds a bit poncy still very happy choosing this line.

Stares ? Stand out ?? Really... ? Do I want to be a sheep ? cause everyone else who is going to buffet and Brodies want to wear their posh frocks and bow ties... Not really.

Some said might be refused certain parts I wont be allowed into ? I assume you mean the restaurants ?

I will dress appropriately if attending one of the formal nights or whatever but if I just want to relax surely I want to relax in something I feel comfortable in.

How about smart jeans, a nice blouse and smart shoes or again its a no no for jeans cause I might stand out.... really sound playground ish and you are obviously ones who care what people think.

Baaaaaa

Going on first p&o cruises after doing the smaller lines. I am slightly confused by the dress code. On the p&o site mentions during the day where what you want but at night men can wear open shirt smart jeans and ladies either dresses or 2 piece no trainers either.

Now the confusion is do you really have to wear this attire at night ? Even if was going to eat in the buffet or go to Brodies ?

On previous cruise lines was a case of wear what you want apart from formal nights and gala nights in a restaurant.

So can we doss round at night wearing jeans t shirts and trainers or will we be thrown overboard ?
