Lewing Posted April 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Someone suggested that apart from the 'formal', 'informal' and 'casual' nights on Aurora there may e a 'black and whie' night and a 'tropical' night - can anyone elaborate on this and bearing in mind we are in our 60's what does one wear for a 'tropical' night please????

jenny wren Posted April 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Well I just wear a flowery 'summer' dress and John usually wears a brightly coloured shirt (bought in the Caribbean but could easily be bought here) and casual trousers (chinos) !:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewing Posted April 19, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Oh thats not so bad then - is there any other nights like that which there might be please??? Thanks for replying Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraLass41 Posted April 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2010 There maybe a country & western night and 60/70's as well, but not many people bother with those, just take something for the tropical night and black & white. B&W is easy for men, just wear the tux! -Its a formal night, usually the last formal night of the cruise. Ladies wear black and white dresses, or black OR white dresses with opposite colour handbags, or wraps for example. I 've just come off Azura for the naming ceremony where we had a black, white and gold evening - just for a change.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniwreni Posted April 19, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2010 There may also be a pirate evening, I noticed that the gift shop sold little items that you could use to "pirate up" an outfit. As for tropical evening, yes, plenty of shocking dayglow shirts can be bought in the duty free areas just off the ship - dont think I can honestly say that DH has ever worn his shirt since that night!! Dont get me wrong - I'm not complaining!!! Enjoy your cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewing Posted April 20, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks for all your replys and its made interesting reading - I am guessing we will know beforehand just what evenings like that we will have on our cruise. Its good to be forewarned as not always easy to find things for these different 'temed' nights at las minute. Many thanks Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted April 20, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2010 We were on a 17 nighter with Aurora once, which attracted the older end of cruisers. I wore a Caribbean kaftan, which I'd taken specially, and OH wore a Hawaiian shirt, and out on deck we went.....and were the only 2 who'd bothered! So I took lots of the day's cocktails, and entered into the whole event, more or less on my own......:cool: Jo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewing Posted April 21, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yes was definitely interested in the shirt from Matalan so will go and have a look - noticed yesterday that Primark had lots of garish hawaiian shorts in their windows for men also. Thanks for that Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harber78 Posted April 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Think I will take a look in Matalan and Primark myself too. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkfamily Posted April 25, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We have been on two P and O cruises and like you expected to be told of all the party nights. When our information came it only mentioned Black and White and Tropical night. We then got on board and found there was a Country and Western and 60/70 night. As Libralass states there were not many who had dressed up. I think the main reason, having spoken to lots of guests was they did not know in advance. On the second trip the same information arrived yet when I phoned the P and O office they knew the extra nights were planned so we were prepared. Again many were not as they did not know.

Lewing Posted April 25, 2010 Author #13 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi Paul That was interesting to hear - no wonder many did not dress up then - one cruise we went on we didn't dress up for all the themed nights as some were in the 'disco' which we didn't want to go in but many were not and the best night was a fancy dress party late at night as we left one of the destinations which was magical. So do you suggest us contacting P&O nearer the time to find out just what themed nights there are? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkfamily Posted April 25, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi Lewing I would suggest you do contact them if you want to join in. The Tropical night on both cruises we have done has been on deck and a great night. :) Some others are done in bars so you may not be as bothered. Last year on Oriana there were quite a lot dressed up for all evenings. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewing Posted April 25, 2010 Author #15 Share Posted April 25, 2010 ok thanks for that it was definitely worth knowing about Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted April 25, 2010 #16 Share Posted April 25, 2010 We are on Azura on 10th May.......cant seem to find anything about special nights. Can we expect a tropical night then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraLass41 Posted April 25, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 25, 2010 When you get you final paperwork with luggage labels the info on dinner wear will be in the booklet. This usually comes 3-4 weeks before departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
