Rare ScratchTheRat Posted July 7, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hi all. Ive read the dress code pages of P&O’s websites. just want to check my info is correct. daytime is cruise casual - wear what you like. evenings are smart casual so jeans and smart t-shirts/polo shirts and shirts okay. on a 7 night cruise on Iona there will be ONE gala night where it’s black tie. does that sound right?

majortom10 Posted July 7, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Sorry it might upset many but I would not wear jeans in the evening on any ship just personal choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydee6969 Posted July 7, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes, that looks okay. P&O FAQ for casual:- Evening Casual Stylish resort or leisurewear is ideal for Evening Casual nights, for example casual separates or dresses for ladies and open-neck polo shirts and casual long trousers (not shorts or 3/4 length trousers) for men. A jacket and smart trousers can be worn but are not compulsory. T-shirts are also acceptable but should not have any offensive symbols or language on them. Smart dark denim is also fine, but not trainers, football shirts or tracksuits. Please see below examples/ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was what I’m allowed to do on the ship, which is nothing to do with your or my tastes but rather the rules put in place. I’m a platinum cruiser on other lines without ever needing to wear anything special, this is just my first on P&O 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think smart Jean's are now fully accepted as very suitable smart casual attire. My two sons, now either side of 50, have worn them regularly since they were in their twenties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of back in the days when I used to go to work. Was in posts for years where most of the time we wore jeans. Joined a new team, after two days of wearing jeans was told not allowed to wear jeans except for Fridays. Fast forward a couple of years, a change of senior management and jeans now allowed all days. After a few days of wearing trousers, the same person who told me I couldn't wear jeans asked me why I was still choosing to wear trousers. My answer was along the lines off when I wear the **se out these trousers, they will cost me £10 to replace from Primark. If I wear the **se out of a pair of Levi 501s it will cost me £80.... Continued wearing trousers till the day I retired... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other people wear doesn't affect me and my dinner in any way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
