While they may have enjoyed the “freedom”, it’s a fair bet that most onlookers would have been happier if most-not all-of them had covered up. And just to show that I’m “fair” about it, their hangbellied husbands with the skimpy Speedos didn’t help the ambiance any. Nude cruise? I’ll pass.

NJcon, I was wondering if they staff these cruises with nudists too. Of course, in an emergency it might be a tad difficult to respond quickly to orders from someone–say a First Officer, or Captain–who was stark naked. Maybe they’d let the staff at least wear their hats.

I wonder how they handle the formal dining aspect of it? Maybe men wear bow ties and women wear big jewels? Or is all dining “resort casual?” Maybe they bring a “formal” or “dress-up” towel to sit on for formal nights and a “casual” towel on the other nights? Ah, the questions that spring to mind.

Next time you are at the beach and can’t find a place to change into a swim suit remember we nudists are laughing at you.

As for nude Antarctica tours, I hope they include dog sledging; it will toughen the spirit.

FWIU, nudists are an aging bunch. Who really wants to see a gaggle of 60-70 year old Europeans and California wannabees?
