amajaa Posted May 12, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2016 We are off on Aurora soon. Two of my formal dresses are all covered in sequins, will this be too dressed up? I have worn one of them on Ventura and didn't feel overdressed. Not sure what The Aurora is like, we have 6 formal for a 18 night cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj777 Posted May 12, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Amajaa, just avoid the problem and wear your dinner jacket like the other chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted May 12, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sir, Aurora is going to be slightly more formal than Ventura in my experience. If you were comfortable with your attire on Ventura you will fit in even more discretely on Aurora. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted May 12, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thanks and yes indeed my husband will be wearing his DJ. With 6 formal nights that means 6 white shirts needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florry Posted May 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sequins will be fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted May 13, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks Florry, I have them so I really want to wear them. As the two previous posters were joking about me being male with calling me Sir etc I wasn't sure if they were joking about being OK to wear as well.

Clodia Posted May 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Aurora is one of the most formal ships. I've always been comfortable in my most sequinned dresses there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyjubbly Posted May 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2016 First time with P&O and we have a black & white night. Will I be forced to walk the plank if I wear black/cream or is it strictly B&W? Any advice please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the english lady Posted May 18, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2016 First time with P&O and we have a black & white night. Will I be forced to walk the plank if I wear black/cream or is it strictly B&W? Any advice please Black and cream will be fine. I once wore black dress with a silver grey wrap with silver dragonflies on it..didn't notice any looks. A lot of ladies wear black dresses (short or long) with white/cream accessories. I have yet to actually find a black/white dress that doesn't cost the earth, that I like, and looks ok on me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyjubbly Posted May 18, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thank you English Lady, my panic is now over :) I've spent the last few weekends looking for B&W but to no avail. I've got a white flower hair accessory so hopefully that's my nod towards the 'white'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysticalmother Posted May 18, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 18, 2016 now...rightly or wrongly (I am sure someone will tell me!:D) I have always interpreted the Black and White night as wearing any combination of black and white....so...all white, all black...or a bit of both! The missing element is any other colour! (Except cream..or even very dark grey.that is just as acceptable in my view...after all there are 50 shades of black, and 50 shades of white too!)

Mind you I tend to not go all white as being somewhat "cuddly" it does not do anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see a few ladies that turn up in colours of the rainbow, but most on that night stick to the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy as long as I'm not the odd one out :eek: Better commence the packing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
