No, but you can arrange your own meet whenever you want.

P&O only organise a meet and greet for solo travellers - first sea day morning. It is easy to arrange your own if you go to the roll call board for your particular cruise though.

They also occasionally have get-togethers for Friends of Dorothy, Friends of Bill W, Freemasons and Rotarians. These are a bit hit and miss; I gather that someone has to request one, they are not held as a matter of course.

I've been on several cruises and seen cards advertising Friends of Dorothy or Friends of Bill meetings - what are they? It always sounds like some kind of secret society (eg the Masons) but I didn't know how to find out

Meetings for Masons and Rotarians are advertised as just that, no hiding under the covers for them!

On my last cruise there was a combined Rotary and Freemason meeting - interesting!

Someone still has to ask for the meeting.
