Where do I find…

[Ranchi]

In all of the e-mail links I have received from P&O I can’t find which page will give details of the number of formal nights on our forthcoming cruise. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? 
Many thanks.

There are two formal nights per week on all P&O ships. Except on Iona where there is one.

If you want to know which nights are formal log into mypocruises for your cruise and view the itinerary. That will show you the dress code for each night of your cruise.

Thanks, terrierjohn. I found it. Unfortunately it is going to let me know nearer the time- we go next week.

Are you sure it's not showing if you log into mypocruises?  As terrierjohn has said, log in, click on 'Your Itinerary' (near the top on the right) and it will show each day, one at a time.  Should be there as mine is showing and you go before me!  Hope it helps

We go on the 30th August and the dress code is showing for our itinerary.

Formal night can be moved at short notice due to adverse weather etc. It has happened to me on a few occasions.

Too true, especially on Atlantic crossings, our black tie and celebration nights are listed for our November cruise but I will be surprised if there are no changes, not that it really matters to us.

Maybe they haven't decided on the itinerary yet😁

We go next week and it's not showing!

We didn't get notification at all before we left - it does seem to vary a lot!

.

Rule of thumb - 2nd night (assuming Day 2 was a sea day).

Also night before the last night, again assuming that day was a sea day.

Never on the evening of a port call day.

Approx 2 per week, as FangedRose said, so you can often guess pretty accurately from those observed practices.

We were scheduled to have our final formal evening on a port day (penultimate day of the cruise). As it happened, we were unable to tender due to sea conditions, so it ended up as a sea day anyway!

As has been mentioned above, if the sea is particularly nasty they may postpone formal nights, happened to me once or twice.

Sadly, it is definitely not always shown on the itinerary in 'mypocruises'..
