Speciality Dress Code dining?

[Flo71]

On Princess the speciality restaurants are always (smart) casual dress regardless of the dress code of the evening.  Is this the same on P&O? Is the Beach House restaurant casual or smart casual every evening?

 

Thanks

P&O have two evening dress codes, Evening Casual and Black Tie.

The majority of venues follow these dress codes including the select dining venues.

The text below is from P&O website.  The select dining restaurants are included and therefore smart casual or formal will I guess apply depending upon the evening: 

 

The Dress Code applies to a majority of public areas after 6pm. Suggested attire for Dress Codes can be found under the question - Is there a dress code on board. The following venues will enforce the dress code of the evening:

 

Arcadia
Intermezzo, The Crow's Nest, Meridian, Sindhu and Ocean Grill restaurants.


Aurora
Anderson’s, The Crow's Nest, Alexandria, Medina, Sindhu and The Glass House restaurants.
 

Azura
Blue Bar, Planet Bar, Meridian, Peninsular, Oriental, Sindhu, The Glass House and The Epicurean restaurants.
 

Britannia
The Crow’s Nest, The Epicurean, Meridian, Peninsular, Oriental, Sindhu and The Glass House restaurants.


Oceana
Magnums, Ligurian and Adriatic restaurants.


Oriana
Anderson’s, The Crow's Nest, Peninsular, Oriental and Sindhu restaurants.
 

Ventura
Red Bar, Metropolis, Cinnamon, Saffron, Bay Tree, Sindhu, The Glass House and The Epicurean restaurants.

In my experience the Glass House and Beach House on Ventura and Azura follow the evening casual code on black tie evenings. The Beach House is part of the buffet with waiter service and the Glass House, at least on the two ships mentioned, follows the original concept of a relaxed casual bar with pay by item food menu served. Reserve a table for the Beach House but no need for the Glass House except for the special tasting dinners.

 

IMO the later versions of the Glass House demonstrate that P&O are attempting to turn them into restaurants with the bar getting smaller, especially evident in Britannia with a very small bar, little more than a restaurant.

 

edit - the P&O site has the Glass House as black tie code. When you get on the ship you will find the P&O site is wrong

Thank you, those are the two that appeal most so will suit us if hubby doesn't feel like black tie on formal evenings.

Another error on the P&O site, this one regarding Arcadia - I've been on Arcadia four times this year (last time was earlier this month), and the Black Tie dress code is not enforced in Sindhu
