JerseyshoreBruce Posted August 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I saw a nude cruise on the roll calls for the Carnival Pride while searching for my roll call on the Pride......im glad mine is far past that one but does anyone else get grossed out over that? I mean how well can they clean the deck chairs? Linens can be washed but it just bothers me. Not everyone is clean and disease free and we know things come out. So lets hear your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted August 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2016 It is obvious that you know nothing about nudists or their culture or about disease! Learn a little before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolidCruiser Posted August 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Not bothered in the least. How clean and disease free can I assume you are just because you're wearing clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted August 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Not bothered in the least, and I'm on the cruise after there's. They know how to handle it. Nothing to be grossed out about.. Honestly.. I feel sorry for the crew that has to deal with the guests. Most of the crew come from very modest (in this way) background. I hope they tip well.

ryano Posted August 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) While I have absolutely no interest in said cruise, I would not be concerned in the least or "grossed out" over boarding the very next one after. Simply wearing clothing in no way makes one clean or disease free. Edited August 10, 2016 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder, does the crew have an option of not sailing on a nude cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted August 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I wonder, does the crew have an option of not sailing on a nude cruise? Sure, the go home and not get paid option.. I'm sure they muddle through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn a little before you post! i believe i stated most people are clean and no need to get your hair on end....it was just a question. i am very clean and disease free but would not expect someone to lie down on the clamshell seats on the serenity deck after i sat naked on it....so being you think im dumb fill me in instead of being negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted August 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2016 <sigh> Would have gladly answered a question if you asked one but you made a negative statement so I didn't feel like educating you! Typically one sits or lays down on a towel or blanket and not directly on a chair. BTW there's a nude beach at the Jersey shore too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofinochris Posted August 10, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you're scared of sitting where naked people have sat, you must never use hotels. Or public toilets for that matter. Diseases don't get passed around that way mate. You think nothing of putting your butt on a hotel chair where hundreds of naked butts have been, or putting your face down on a deck chair where someone's snotty face has possibly been minutes before, but someone someone wearing slightly less clothing than a bathing suit on a deck chair days before you is a health crisis? You're either a troll or very silly. If it's the latter you need to examine the hangup you have about nude people and the assumption that you're going to get a disease from them somehow.

Adge01 Posted August 10, 2016 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I hope they tip well. I really hope they just add-on from their card. Got a chuckle from about where they would the money out from. A Fannie bag could refer to one of two things. I will grow up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have clothes on when i sit on Hotel room chairs and toilet seats are non-absorbent and get cleaned. But i guess you sit on them naked....ok then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelib Posted August 10, 2016 #18 Share Posted August 10, 2016 In my old Windjammer Days I sailed on some cruises prior/after some chartered nude cruises. Pallets of bleach were brought on for the cruise. The crew said after the initial shock, it truly did not bother them. Also it is naturalist etiquette that you always have a towel or some type of garment to sit on. Most naturalists are more concerned with cleanliness for obvious reasons. What was funny to me was my conversation with the Captain of the Windjammer ... "I guess it must be easier for the crew with less luggage to load. ". Captains response was " they bring more luggage than clothed people... they like their accessories" ... by this he meant costumes, jewelry, sheer clothing etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what those four feet signify, right? Oh well. Don't worry about nude people. They are everywhere. Some just a small wisp of clothing away. They're not going to infect you with things or otherwise harm you. Honestly. If it really bothers you to your soul, cruise another line that never allows naked people, I guess.

originalgeek Posted August 10, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Nudists bring a towel and I imagine the crew know what they are doing and how to manage the situation. Doesn't bother me a bit. I'd like to go on one some day but not much chance of talking DW into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierpop Posted August 10, 2016 #22 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The cleanliness wouldn't be my concern. My issue would be, there are many, many people who should keep their clothes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Carnival and am sure other lines do it too...by the way though not a disease you can catch crabs from seating. but two others cleared it up for me instead of being a wiseguy or wisegal. this is why i left this site for years. No i didnt know the feet was having sex on the balcony.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted August 10, 2016 #24 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I am sailing on the pride prior to this one; and think there are a few cruiser doing a back to back .. As for being gross out.. it is there business... And sure they are clean if not cleaner than people with clothes. I am so sure many of us use "public bathrooms; open those doors with our hands (I use paper towel to shut the water off after washing my hands and opening the door) The computers has more germs than anything.. your sea card.. the elevator buttons and so on.. This cruise is no different than a "family," "gay," casino or what ever theme. You either go or stay home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASOXFANN Posted August 10, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) It's no more gross than the butt floss bikinis and banana hammock "bathing suits" I see on some cruisers :eek::( Edited August 10, 2016 by VASOXFANN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
