Toppless Section on NCL

[Michaelw5]

Can my wife and I sun bath toppless.This is a big concern for my wife being from Sweden. She hate tan lines..............

 

No worries she is very good looking 5'5" 110 lbs

Sorry, the Sun doesn't have a topless sun bathing area.

 

The only NCL ship that does is the Jewel. I hope it isn't too late to switch ships sailing from Miami.

 

If you booked a balcony cabin, she could go topless on the balcony.

Just make sure you don't have noisy neighbors.

I know Carnival Ships have a Topless Deck but I've never seen or heard of one on NCL. And believe me I would have found it. I don't know about the other lines.

Buddy you can sunbathe topless pretty much anywhere you want. Remember sunblock. Unfortunately for your wife unless she has the "girls" out in the sun on her private balcony she's going to have to keep them covered in the public areas.

[jlb]

I am with your wife. I don't like tan lines. we are booked on the Jewel for a Med. cruise. Since we are in europe I hope more liberal rules apply around the main pool.

There were European women topless on the Jewel but they were not on the topless deck. They certainly got stared at since they were overweight and saggy (if you know what I mean).

Last time there was a topless thread over here, it got 'poofed.' So be nice to each other :)

[Tutone56]

Your wife can sunbathe topless on deck 15 on the Jewel. I believe this is the only NCL ship with that option.

As previously mentioned, is there a specific place to sun topless, no, at least aboard the Sun and the Spirit. I can't comment on the other ships in the NCl fleet. Having lived in Europe for many years, topless sun bathing is no big deal in resorts, and ships throught the Med, and other areas like the Canary Islands. What's the big deal?:rolleyes:

 

I believe, in a small enclosed community such as what we experience aboard a cruise ship, because of culture clash, topless is considered risque rather than passe' aboard a majority of lines cruising from American ports. It is not a common practice for American women to sun topless in public simply because not many American women choose to buck the idea if you do it, obviously you might be available to the men who assume it's a sexual thing rather than a cosmetic thing.:confused:

 

It's my opinion that in the seclusion of some of the isolated areas of the upper decks, topless wouldn't be an issue on any ship cruising out of an American port. Afterall, what law would you be breaking? My only concern would be, given the American cluture, you'd worry about kids, and perverts turning someone's cosmetic pleasure into something out of Playboy! I can not tell you how many times I've sat on my balcony sans colthing. I'm not a nudist, I simply like my comfort!:p

 

My guess would be that because of an infantile concept of what's morally correct and what is not, those ladies who choose to be comfortable, whould cause the sales of photographic film, to increase dramatically! Kind of sick, isn't it?:eek:

 

If that possibility doesn't bother you, please proceed, avoid kids areas, and perhaps you might start a trend. I sun topless all the time, why shouldn't anyone else enjoy the same pleasure?;)

"...an infantile concept of what's morally correct and what is not..."

 

wow.

[jlb]

I just can't imagine that there wouldn't be many women topless around the main pool of a Med. cruise. Every port will have topless, if not nude beaches. NCL certainly should be open to allowing Eurpean passengers to enjoy the sun the way they regularily do, and us Americans to experience a bit of European culture. I have sun bathed topless on other ships but have found those nooks and crannies.

Are you people over here going to let this thread die? We all need something to keep us going on a Friday afternoon! Especially when the temperature outside is about 5 degrees with a wind chill of -50 degrees!!! :(

Here is my story

 

On the Miracle I went to the famous stairway. While Derfette spent some time with the trivia host. And she did end up with the coveted "Stick on a Ship" so I guess it was worth it. So where was I. Oh yea this post is about me. As you may not remember I went up to the famous stairway and couldn't do it. Would I see something I shouldn't. Would I be emarrASSEd. would I get excited, would I grab all the gusto I could. A full topless panic attack.

ummmmm...:eek: now we're getting somewhere. I don't think anyone can top that?

[margaritagal]

I don't Know. How DOES one 'top' something on the 'topless' deck????? ;)

[Maryfrei]

I read in a prior thread that these tan through swim suits work really well.

 

Here's a link, but pretty easy to find on the internet:)!

Thanks for the information on the tan through suits. I am much too old and flabby to go topless, but still like the tan.

What's the "coveted stick on a ship"? Now I'm curious. Is it the trivia prize?

 

Given the thread topic, I can think of other things, but I'm now going there.

The "Ship on a Stick" is given out as a prize for different events on Carnival

My question still exists - is NCL more relaxed on the topless sunbathing on the European cruises. I really do enjoy no tan lines, as I am sure their European passnagers do....well

[derf5585]

To have no tan lines one has to go bottomless also.

[jlb]

When in Rome - do as the Romans do.....would that be permitted on the freestyle deck on a European cruise?
