CruiseNewb2018

I'm 37 and using a swim dress this year due to having a full hysterectomy 2 weeks ago due to Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Cruise is Oct 28th 2018! This is the one I picked :) I think its cute and you can pull the skirt pretty far up or down to adjust length.

If your going to a beach stay OFF the French side of the island or if site seeing just stay on the dutch side.

 

Although we rather let our children see someone nude than some things they see on everyday TV at least that's our opium but to each there own.

We mostly were just concerned about the FULL nude beaches. We are aware that most tropical places we will run into the occasional topless gals. And considering americans mostly wear European style bikinis it cant be too much of a difference. Men and women walk around freely in Panama City Florida with thongs on :) my sister was mostly concerned about the young little girls we have seeing grown men fully nude. Thanks for the info!

There are a few nude beaches but be warned that all beaches may have topless women and men in speedos. Alll shapes and sizes and ages btw

 

Most of Europe is this way too. As a European I have seen most of the females in my family topless (even my grandmother). I am too American to go topless around my my kids but my kids have gone to many European beaches and carribean beaches that cater to Europeans since they were little and discussing it in advance with your kids is a good idea.

Thanks for the info. While my children probably see too much already on TV, internet ect..i dont want to take my 7 year old daughter to a beach where a man will be completly nude

TY for the reply! If it was an adult only vaca we wouldnt be worried about it. Id love to get some sun with no tan lines :) but the kiddos arent ready for that!

My sister and I will be taking a cruise with 3 children 7, 10 & 12. St Maartin is one of the ports we will be stopping at and my TA advised me that there are nude beaches ?. Do any of you know which ones are nude and which ones are not? We have girls and a boy but neither need to see all that!! 😂

Hello! This is my very first post. :) And I will be going on my very first cruise through Oct 28-Nov 4. I assume I already know the answer to my question, but since it will be my first time on a cruise I figured I would ask anyway! Do cruise ships celebrate Halloween and people dress up? I'm not certain that we will but then again, I don't want us to be left out! FOMO lol Thanks in advance!!
