Your itinerary should say Arrive Early Morning or Late Morning and Depart Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon or Early evening.  So Arrive 0700 to 0900, depart 1600 to 1900.

 

If you type into Google.  Cruise ship schedule and then the port, you could see the exact timings.

Tried this but to no avail for Iona on Jan 2nd cruise. P&O were the ONLY cruise line not to show any times. Fat lot of good they are.

Those timings above are pretty much the same as the 2 week cruise on azura we just did. The only difference was because of a late flight from Manchester (snow bound airport) the ship did not depart saturday night but 6am sunday morning and still arrived on time in Madeira.

Thank you all for your advice. On the two week cruise does anyone know how many formal nights there are and when they are.

Four, not on first or last nights,  and normally on sea days. Hope that helps,  even if it is not precise.

We have found P&O are not following their previous habit of having two formals a week, doing slightly less than that now.

 

For instance our recent 28 nights on Aurora in November were shown as having only seven formals and once we were on the ship, that was reduced to only six formals in four weeks.  Mind you basically the formal which was cancelled on never were on the ship was in the Caribbean on a port day - we do were in port of every day once by there, do very port in intensive at that stage.

I think that on longer cruises, the two formal nights per week rule is relaxed, because the "special nature " of the event becomes boring.

We had 11 on the 40 night Arcadia cruise even though we were told 10 before sailing. There were a few mumbling about the number and the cruise director even made a few comments towards the end of the cruise. We did have a lot of sea days so to us it felt OK, the cynic in me thinks maybe P&O saw it as a money spinner as people tend to use the spa, hairdresser etc on formal nights. On previous 35 night cruises we have had between six and eight.
