Review summary

Very formal ship, catering to older, sophisticated cruisers. Sport Coat required on casual nights and tux or dinner jacket for formal themed gala evenings. Variety of entertainment venues and fair to excellent acts in the main theatre. Other than the pub and lido which is no extra charge, the only other restaurant is the pricey VERANDAH, for good French cuisine. Service in all restaurants were excellent. Food mostly very good, with a few clunkers here and there. While liquor flows freely, this is not a party hearty ship. Ballroom dancing is a favorite, but excellent rock band in the hemisphere lounge. Classical string quartet, harpist, jazz band and piano recitals are commonplace daily. Two piano lounges a nightly occurance. Classic cruising and a beautiful ship.

The dress standards are clearly indicated on the website and brochure! It’s not difficult to adhere to

All the info on website tells you about dress code, so if you don't want to dress for dinner, then go on a more casual ship.

That should read Cunard - good old predictive texting

Jacket and collared shirt for casual nights. Dinner jacket, tuxedo or dark suit with collared shirt and tie - as clearly stated in Canards info on dress.
