Rare printingchick Posted April 9, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 9, 2010 They were giving the kids at the top of the waterslides an unintended view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler353 Posted April 9, 2010 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2010 No more topless sundecks, All gone. Mini golf has replaced most of the funnel deck adults only areas on Carnival ships. Carnival is trying to project a more family friendly image. And what is wrong with weirdoes’? They are allowed to have some fun on cruise ship too.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imsulin Posted April 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Book a cruise that goes to any French island, including French St. Martin (which is about a 20-minute taxi ride from Dutch St. Maarten, where you'll dock.) You'll love Orient Beach, for the day that you're there! Few ships go to Martinique, Guadaloupe, or St. Bart's....pretty much because they don't want them there.

We went there on the Pacific Princess which holds about 670 passengers. We were told that that was about the maximum size they allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matj2000 Posted April 10, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The RCCL Freedom Class has a upper deck that is used for optional topless sunbathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzman Posted April 10, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Saw a few topless women on the beach in Costa Maya a couple of years ago. No one seemed concerned except the teen aged Gaukers, lol. I do confess that I sneaked a couple of pics; hurumph, as a souvenir of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted April 11, 2010 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2010 The RCCL Freedom Class has a upper deck that is used for optional topless sunbathing. Completely not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted April 11, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Completely not true. On the IOS they had a foward deck 12 called "St. Tropez" that you had to take stairs to get up. When I asked on of the lido deck waitress about what was up there, she said it was a clothing(top) optional. But I guess you are the "expert".....

beachchick Posted April 11, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Completely not true. On the IOS they had a foward deck 12 called "St. Tropez" that you had to take stairs to get up. When I asked on of the lido deck waitress about what was up there, she said it was a clothing(top) optional.But I guess you are the "expert"..... Is it possible that technically you are both correct? I know that RCI has had a policy of using the St Tropez deck as at least a "tops optional for ladies" deck for European cruises. (Don't know if it's completely clothing optional.) Freedom and Liberty are in the Caribbean and Independence is in Europe, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Independence does have the tops optional deck available and Freedom and Liberty do not.

Langley Cruisers Posted April 11, 2010 #17 Share Posted April 11, 2010 You said, The RCCL Freedom Class has a upper deck that is used for optional topless sunbathing. Perhaps IOS does (leaving from Europe), but you can't lump Freedom and Liberty in there as well. IMO, you exaggerated by making a generalization which included two additional ships.

IMO, you exaggerated by making a generalization which included two additional ships. The post said Freedom Class, doesn't that allow you to lump the sister ships together? Europe vs US re boob discussions always amaze me, anyone over 14 who cares should go to Europe, or at least Playa del Carmen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad fact is that Orient Beach proves the point that most people older than about 19 look a whole lot better with some clothes ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
