Done several cruises, all from UK ports. Used to shudder at the thought, but the first one broke the ice. Most now have the option of formal dining, semi-formal, or informal.
Suggest you don't go for fixed seating - same table, same people every night.
You can have freedom dining where you sat at the first table that has space for you. Or you can have buffet style dining al day long and in the evening, which is good if perhaps you are tired and don't eveni want to change into smart trousers and shirt.
Some ports we would go ashore and stop in almost the first cafe and watch the world go by. We found the organised excursions were not always good value - depends where you are.
There are adults only cruises.
P&O are quite good vale and Brit orientated. Some cruises lines lean heavily toward the American market.
