Default Number of formal nights

We are on an 11night cruise on the Pacific Dawn in March. How many formal nights do you think we will have? Will it still only be two or will it be three?

Thank you

Our 11 night cruise last year on Sun we had 2 formal nights. I think I read somewhere that cruises of 14 nights or longer will have more. However, we recently did a 14 night cruise and only had 2. Most passengers were under the impression we would have 3.

There'll be 2. In the P&O cruising guide there's a list of how many formal nights there are for the different length trips.

2-6 Days = 1 Formal Night
7-13 Days = 2 Formal Nights
14 - 20 Days = 3 Formal Nights
21 - 28 Days = 4 Formal Nights
29 Days + = 5 minimum

I think the formals are great fun, I think it is the only time I get dressed up, except for weddings, funerals, and graduations. It stops me from being a chronic scruff.
