Traditional Cruising Style
October 11, 2008 by David ·
P&O Cruise’s traditional style of cruising means that there are elements of formality whereby you may have to stick to a dress code of black tie for the gentlemen and evening dresses for the ladies.
However, onboard you will find that other restaurants and dining options are available meaning that you can dress more casually in a way that you feel comfortable. So although P&O cruises typically offer a traditional style there are still casual elements.
