Creator's Key Takeaways

Making sure you stick to dress codes can be something that feels quite daunting if you haven't cruised before.

P&O pretty much suggests that you dress in the way you would dress to go to a nice restaurant on land.

We know it's not everybody's cup of tea and there are plenty of venues you can go to on board where you don't have to adhere to the dress code.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“For evening casual, aim for attire similar to a nice restaurant on land; avoid tracksuits, trainers, or ripped denim.
βœ“Men should bring a suit jacket for formal nights to avoid being turned away from dining rooms.
βœ“Check the Horizon or venue signs to confirm specific dress code requirements for each location.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Dress codes being scary or overwhelming β€” Understand that daytime is casual and there are many venues, like the buffet, where dress codes do not apply.
The stress of Black Tie/Formal nights β€” You don't need to spend a fortune; repurpose old dresses or shop sales, and remember that dress codes are open to personal interpretation.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Dress codes are a massive source of debate, and often panic for people when planning their cruise holiday. In this video we try to clear up any mysteries around the dress code onboard P&O Cruises ships and show you some examples of what we've worn for each dress code. We've cruised with P&O 20 times, so we've got lots of experience to draw on. We've also followed the guidance set out by P&O to create this guide. There are a total of 7 ships in the P&O fleet, with Arvia and Iona being the newest. Britannia is the fleet't flagship and Ventura and Azura complete the family friendly offering. Arcadia and Aurora are smaller ships, that are adult only. Whilst the dress code does differ slightly in certain circumstances it is generally the same across the fleet.
