Rare yes!yes!yes! Posted August 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Thank you to every ones advice and input regarding P & O Australia. I have booked a short cruise (will probably book a couple more closer to the date) and was wondering if P & O have a loyalty club like Captains circle with Princess or Crown and Anchor with Royal Caribbean? Or do they match loyalty levels like MSC do? Also, its an eighties theme cruise, what can I expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you will add to your Princess Captain's circle tier (days cruised & number of cruises), but will not to your Princess days sailed for the most cruised function. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, its an eighties theme cruise, what can I expect? 80's theme - lots of fluoro leggins, shoulder pads and big hair styles, for those that are making an effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit petty. ☹️ Changed it a little ways back, back a bit before covid. I think there was a couple of brothers that were top of the pops locally for most cruised, but not once their P&O days were taken out. I am not so sure with brand loyalty, but figure it is hard to be loyal with Princess if you are cruising on P&O. The Sitmar stuff still counts to Princess most cruised loyalty, but not "modern" P&O.

Sadly though, if you are going for the Xanadu look, you need to leave your skates at home. I think I would go with a Max Headroom tribute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMmmm, I have roller skates in my linen cupboard, from my roller disco days. I hear that P&O do a white night, back to school night and Gatsby night on most of their longer cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby and White night are often on the short cruises too, but I am not sure if that is also on these themed cruises. Usually the Gatsby night is the dress-up night. Bianco (white night) is usually a pool deck after dinner party. Back to school is often a night club theme night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking at a couple of other cruises that aren't themed so I might get that on them. Royal Caribbean and MSC both do white night and 70's night, no one dresses up for the Royal ones. I was surprised that so many people did on the MSC ones. White night is easy to cover, wont bother with special clothes for the others but will still attend.

I must have been given a bum steer on my Sitmar cruise, but it was only 10 days worth anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceeceeDee Posted August 23, 2023 #18 Share Posted August 23, 2023 There is also a 'formal night' on P&O (probably just the longer ones?? We haven't cruised under 7 days). Not strictly enforced, but hubby usually dons a jacket and tie and I like to dig out the little cocktail number. Some people do likewise, others don't. Having been in shorts and t shirts all day, it's sometimes nice to glam up a bit at night. Totally our choice and I am definitely not casting aspersions on anyone who doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
