Thank you for the email. I have just reset the blog because a number of people are receiving the old blog which was incorrect and P&O Cruises have made a correction. The number of formal nights on board Ventura and Oceana will stay the same... I appreciate it would be a great concern if P&O Cruises were to remove formal evenings but I can assure you that is not the case. P&O Cruises will continue to uphold the traditional values of cruising whilst at the same time, allowing a more relaxed style of cruising on two of their fleet. The feedback I have been receiving from Ventura on the last 2 cruises is very good indeed and I am looking forward to sailing on her this weekend in the Caribbean. I think the chav issue is now behind us and I hope that people who do cruise will continue to do so whilst respecting other passengers. Phil
