Harriet75C Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This is probably a silly question, but I've looked at the recently updated dress code schedule for my cruise (Azura A410) and it lists the Black and White night as an evening casual night. Every single other cruise has it on a black tie night. Is it possible that the list is wrong and it is, in fact, supposed to be the theme of the second black tie evening? It seems from my reading of other posts on here that usually the black and white night is on a formal evening. I just don't want to turn up with inappropriate clothes! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted January 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'd be very surprised if it were casual. It is ALWAYS a formal evening. Mind you, we sometimes find that the evenings when we're aboard are not in exactly the same order as it says on the P&O website. We were even once on Oceana and the number of jacket required evenings varied from that published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macren Posted January 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Looking at the list of dress code nights in the Caribbean it shows 4 formal and 10 evening casual but I thought some of these might be smart ie: jacket is this not the case my DH doesn't want to take another jacket if not required .We are cruising on Azura .:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontius Navigator Posted January 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In December we had a number of jackets required evenings. I think it worked out a 6 casual and 4+4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annieuk Posted January 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2014 We are off to Azura in March and my Cruise Personaliser still says 4 Formal, 4 Smart (Jacket required) and the rest Smart Casual. On the list on the website the Black and White evening is listed as being on a Formal Evening. I would be very surprised if wasn't formal. My husband always takes a linen jacket so he can use that on the Smart evenings if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is starting when the ship goes back to the caribbean later in the year s the med cruises are also showing jacket req but not the later caribbean ones Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagaris Posted January 29, 2014 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) We are on Azura, Caribbean, in February and our cruise personaliser shows 6 casual, 4 smart jacket and 4 formal. Just checked on P&O question and answer forum and it lists dress codes for all cruises, just click on the ships name. Ours is the same as on our personaliser Molly Edited January 29, 2014 by sagaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is showing 10 casual for next Caribbean season 2014/5 but for the rest of this season it shows 6-4-4. Maybe someone who has just returned can comment ?

I have returned from the azura xmas cruise where we had 3 dress codes As i am booked on this years xmas cruise too i as checking how long we would get in port and the dress code,that is where i learnt about there just being 2 dress codes for when azura goes back to the caribbean in nov 2014 If you go on pando site and ask the question about black tie nights you can see all the azura cruises and see for yourself Hope this helps Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denarius Posted February 1, 2014 #17 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Before Azura was introduced P&O always used to have only 2 dress codes, formal and casual, on Caribbean cruises, even in the days when all their ships sailing out of Southampton operated 3 dress codes. They may well be reverting to this practice in these days of ever reducing baggage allowances. On the other hand, they could be coming into line with most of the industry and operating only two codes on all cruises ...

Bren99 Posted February 1, 2014 #18 Share Posted February 1, 2014 We join Azura next Sat and its definately 6-4-4 which does make the packing a bit awkward with only 23kg to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted February 1, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 1, 2014 23kg is possible, even with the three dress codes - I've done it quite a few times. We are doing a back to back this time which means I'm packing for four weeks on board - still with only 23 kg! Needless to say things will be worn more than once!
