JG6000

I think you are probably right, most other evenings there was ballroom dancing before the show and though popular it was always possible to find a seat. On British Night there was no dancing and yes it looked like it was going to over run though we did not stay to find out! Pity as the show was a tribute to Queen and members of the troupe said it was their favourites of the cruise.

What annoyed us was, OK, did not like the jingoistic so called 'entertainment' but what annoyed us more was that we could not get a seat for the show that was on afterwards, could have put up with the so called patriotic singing but the idea of timings for dinner sittings had gone out of the window. Would not stop us cruising with Fred's again as the ambiance on the ships is great. My one memory of British night was waiting for the lift, for the doors to open to reveal a load of guests in red waistcoats, thought I was in Butlins, OMG!

When we were on Braemar in January (first FO cruise) we knew there would be a "British" night and I bought a thin scarf to wear and my husband had a blue & white striped shirt that he wore. The actual night was described as around Europe and there was a can,can for France and a few others (can't remember all) before reaching the British segment it only lasted for the usually 45 mins in the Neptune lounge and was fun!!  then we left and went to the Coral Lounge.  We have been on many P&O cruises and always found the GB sail away fun as well!! ..... "I will walk 500 miles" bring it on 😉 🙂

The worst night of our cruise, walked into the Neptune Lounge and just walked out again, absolutely awful, crumpled up the song sheet and threw it into one of the potted plants. Nothing against Fred's, love their cruises and the ambiance on the rest of the ship, would just avoid this awful evening.
