Shirt & tie will be fine, Richard, a jacket might be handy if the aircon is working overtimes though...new ship, anything can (and usually does) happen
  When we did the last shakedown, we had a meal in Le Bistro, which is DJ/evening dress...Cagney's is less formal than Le Bistro but more formal than the free restaurants...however, on the Jewel cruise, evening meal on the first night was a 50/50 split of ultra formal and jeans & t-shirts in the main dining rooms.

Middy in case we arrive in Dover too early do you want to meet up with us for a coffee. If we are early we will go to the designer outlet behind the Churchill. If you fancy that do you want to PM me your mobile telephone number.
Richard likewise if you want to join us pass me your mobile or liaise with Middy. We anticipate arriving in Dover at 9:30am. If we meet up I can transport your bags.
