Landfall Ball?

[Essexlass2]

Can anyone please enlighten me as to what a Landfall Ball might be? Our cruise has formal nights and the usual Black and White nights as well as 60s-70s and Tropical Nights, but we've never heard of a Landfall Ball before. Do we need to dress differently for this, what on earth is it? :confused:

Just a name that means nothing. The same ships can have them or not, it varies from cruise to cruise. They are not landfall anyway as they are followed by a sea day?

I have never heard it called "Landfall" before either but I believe it is exactly the same as a formal night so we should be ok wearing what we wear for that

The majority of PO cruises we have been on have had a landfall ball. It is always the last formal night of the cruise.

 

No different to any other formal unless you are dancers when the dancing is usually to a band rather than CDs.

Band, music :confused:

 

Where is this dancing, I have only ever had dinner and then off to a show or casino, never a dinner/dance, have I been missing something ?

Not sure which cruises you have been on but on PO Cruises there is always some ballroom/Latin dancing on board.

Adonia between shows in the show lounge

Arcadia in the Globe after the early show until midnight ish

Azura in the Atrium often pre dinner and post early show

Oceana in the Atrium various times

Oriana in Harlequins after 1st show

Ventura now in the Atrium after the refit but no been on the ship since refit so can't confirm

Oh I see I misunderstood, sorry, I thought you meant the dancing and band was during the meal like a diner/ dance, we have freedom dining so probably miss the dancing in the atrium.

 

We tend to take hours over our meal each night but we do sit in the atrium and have a coffee there if we can get a seat watch whatever is going on, I would like to watch the dancing

Aha! That makes sense - the last formal night of the cruise before landfall at Southampton I guess. Also, we are on a Strictly themed cruise so lots of dancing too methinks. Thanks folks! :D
