tinsoldier Posted September 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hi Do black tie/formal nights mean that the dinner menu is always the Gala Dinner menu or do some black tie nights have the 'standard' dinner menu? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAB1 Posted September 18, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2015 On Oceana last April we had the gala menu on the first formal but just the standard menu on the second 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We really enjoy the MDR but IMO the Gala Dinner really isn't anything much better. The only add on is usually a sorbet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAB1 Posted September 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I think that the MPW Gala Menu is very nice but I was disappointed that there wasn't the usual better menu on the second formal night. Don't know if this is because it was Oceana. There were lots of other little things missing such as no flower in the cabins. Not much in itself but noticeable cutbacks.

blumfette Posted September 18, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm another who was disappointed by the menu on the second formal night especially as we really enjoyed the MPW menu. This was on Azura in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a flower in the cabin on Britannia in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAB1 Posted September 18, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We had a flower in the cabin on Britannia in July. Maybe it was just Oceana then. Could see in the other cabins on our deck while they were being cleaned and they didnt have a flower either. Thought at first the cabin steward had just forgotten. Think they may just be costcutting on Oceana then. Only choice of bread in MDR was white or brown rolls, no leis on tropical night, no deck parties etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted September 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 18, 2015 We had a flower in the cabin on Britannia in July. Trouble is with having flowers in the cabin you have to put them on the floor somewhere they are not going to topple over if the weather starts to get rough.

Put some gin in the vase, it usually stops me falling over in rough weather :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, the dilemma of what to do with the flower in the middle of a rough night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted September 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 19, 2015 We've always had a flower in our cabin on all our P&O cruises, including on Oceana earlier this year. I would guess it was an oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
