Jacket neccessary for informal nights

[meg29]

We are sailing on the Artemis next year. P & O brochure states Jackets for men on informal nights. Do most men wear a jacket or would long sleeve shirt with tie suffice.

I think you will find that alot of men wear a jacket on informal, but things are a changing.

Gentlemen are required to wear a jacket but a tie is optional--full information is in the P&O brochure.

When we were on Oriana we saw a man in one of the bars - I think it was the Crows Nest - being turned away on a Semi-Formal or Informal evening because he didn't have a jacket on. Passengers on Artemis usually follow the dress code - they did when we were on her last year. Also although a tie isn't strictly required on an Informal evening, many men wore one.

My husband wears a dinner suit (tux) on formal, and takes two suits for semi formals a summer suit and a nice grey one with assorted ties and shirts.

 

He would wear what you mention long sleeved shirt - say a ben sherman striped one with trousers on a SMART casual night. Or short-sleeved ofcourse in hot climes.

Equally acceptable on semi formal/informal evenings, is a jacket and trousers. No need for a suit.

 

In warmer climes particularly, a linen or lighweight jacket and trousers is very comforable, as oppposed to a suit, unless a lightweight one, which can easily be purchased at any stop on a Med. Cruise.

Thanks for all your responses. Didn't want to pack an extra jacket if it was not neccessary, but obviously it is. Thanks again.
