And that is the sort of people that p&o are attracting these days..enough said really!

 

Thank you for upholding the stereotype of a lot of cruisers.

The OP was saying that she didn't quite know what to expect from casual nights. All I was doing was giving examples - oh and you seem to make the assumption that my husband and I are old!!!

 

I wasn't responding to your comment. Indeed 'chinos and a short sleeve shirt' seems to be the advice that is always given in regards to smart casual evenings for men.

Smart casual is open to interpretation. Some people never look smart whatever they wear. Others look fabulous in a t shirt and jeans! It's all about how you present yourself, not what you may, or may not be wearing! You either have style or you don't! :eek:

Very true. Some people confuse smartness with formality and assume that they are one and the same; they are not. It is just as possible to look smart in clean and well ironed jeans and tee shirt, bottomed of by a pair of "Chucks" as it is to look scruffy in tired dinner suit and dog eared dress shirt, bottomed by shoes inappropriate for formal dress.

Smart casual is as you say, open to interpretation. All the published code does is give examples of typical wear and stipulate particular garments deemed to be inappropriate. Within that framework it is up to the tastes of the individual passenger. All that is needed is a little common sense, and tolerance when other passengers tastes do not conform to your own. Do not read into the code something that is not there, just because you think that it should be or once was.

never judge a man(or women) by their shoes until you have walked a mile in their shoes. then if you don't like them you have their shoes and are a mile away.
