On one night of your cruise, your
Bianco, P&O's White Party
This all-white event is usually the biggest themed party night on any P&O cruise. Everyone dresses in white, often adding 'bianco' accessories such as hats, sunglasses, jewellery or feather boas.
In keeping with our friendly yet sophisticated onboard environment, we encourage guests to follow a “resort casual” dress code. Out of respect for others, bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps, bathing suits, shorts, and torn/distressed jeans are not allowed in the dining room or specialty restaurants.
Some common themes we may offer include Black and White Night, 50's/60's/70's/80's, Country Western, Masquerade Ball, Toga Parties.
It's unprofessional and can lead to some pretty serious legal trouble for the ship. Even when passengers fully consent, it's completely not allowed. Nope! Cruise lines are very aware of the legal issues that could result, as well as the impact on their reputations.
We work, eat, and party together… people are bound to hook up and it definitely happens. From complete debauchery to fully committed marriages; being “sea hot” and the “walk of shame”, read on to learn more about how relationships at sea work, and when they don't.

Formal nights
Think of our formal dress code as a night out in your best black-tie look — suits and ties, tuxedos, cocktail dresses or evening gowns are all acceptable options. There can be 1 to 4 formal nights during a sailing and is at the ship's discretion.

White Tie calls for a tuxedo or tuxedo tailcoat with peaked lapels - and, therefore, a tuxedo shirt with cufflinks and, ideally, mother of pearl studs. A white waistcoat and black patent leather shoes are expected too.
At night for dinner guests can go for casual or smart casual clothes at most of the restaurants. Although for specialty restaurants in cruise ships a formal dress code is suggested. The cruise line does not have any kind of formal nights but 'Norwegian's night out' can be considered as the formal night.
Men may wear slacks with collared dress shirts or sweaters, but jackets are optional. Women should choose dresses, pantsuits or skirts or slacks with nice tops. On formal nights, proper attire includes tuxedos, suits or slacks (jackets required) for men and evening gowns, cocktail dresses or dressy pantsuits for women.
The rule of thumb is that a week-long cruise will have two formal nights during the trip (i.e. Day 2 and Day 5). Shorter trips normally have one. It may be that if you are on a very short cruise (e.g. three days), there might not even be one formal night.
It is an honor, and often quite interesting, to be invited to dine at the captain's table. However, you can always decline the invitation if the timing is bad or you simply do not want to dine with officers.

The booze-bringing rules apply to age 21 and up, generally. The bottles must be unopened and sealed. If you have the idea that it would be easy to sneak your own alcohol onboard a ship – in a flask, mouthwash bottle, water bottle or other container – you would be wrong. Cruise lines know the tricks.
The main dining room and cruise ship buffet will always be included in your cruise fare, though a few specialty items might cost extra. Most upscale or sit-down specialty restaurants incur an extra fee, either a flat cover charge or a la carte pricing per item.
Yes, you can buy a beverage package. These all-you-can-drink packages allow passengers to pay a set fee up front for unlimited drinks (of a certain type, as outlined by the package's fine print), rather than pay per drink once onboard the cruise ship.
