AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ok, there have been a few threads recently about whether you can suntan topless on certain ships/itineraries. Frequently the response after "you can't" is "there is always your balcony". So seriously - I have a large aft balcony on my next cruise - it's a corner one so nobody on one side, and friends of ours have the cabin right next to us. If I decide to sunbathe nude or topless, any issue with this in terms of the cruiseline? Camera gonna catch me and accidently broadcast it to the closed circuit tv? And yes - I know - don't forget not to do it in port lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted June 21, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2008 If you are sunbathing while in port, you might be exposed to cleaning and maintenence crew who go up and down the side of the ship and have a way of showing up in the most unexpected places at the most unexpected times.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I know - didn't have a balcony before but did notice the crew working on the ship lol - I'll remember.

Sue L Posted June 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Just don't go near the railings and you will be fine. I don't know if there are cameras but I will bet my bottom dollar if there are and you are out there no one is going to come and tell you to suit up. LOL:D:p If a lot of officers start grinning at you then you know you have been on candid camera. ;):p:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 21, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2008 It's true that while in port, the maintenance workers are EVERYWHERE! You'll think you can walk onto your balcony in peace, and, WHAM, there's some guy hanging over you! Just be careful! (And know that the aft balconies get pretty damn hot--no wind!)

AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I don't really care if the officers catch it on security camera, I'm sure they've seen WAY more interesting stuff on those cameras. I think they'd be smiling more at my friend next door with the DD's ;) I just wouldn't want it broadcast into every tv on the ship! Just don't go near the railings and you will be fine.

cruiserbryce Posted June 21, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I would just say scope out the area around your balcony to check for cameras and then go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah won't be on the tv's, and don't listen to CB above, the temp on the afts was perfect with enough breeze to keep me happy and I am not a heat girl and I had the aft on the Panama Canal itin with 95 degrees temp and humidity.

AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted June 21, 2008 On this cruise we only have 1 port day and we plan a full day on land, so I won't be out there then. I like hot - the hotter the better - and AC - cold shower - and room service are only a step away :) It's true that while in port, the maintenance workers are EVERYWHERE!

That's why I like the side balconies....more privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 Author #12 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Looking at pics of the aft of Navigator, looks like my balcony is pretty private unless I go out to the railing. I was curious about cameras though. Just make sure no one from above can see or that there aren't any security cameras pointed in that direction. That's why I like the side balconies....more privacy.

AllieInMD Posted June 21, 2008 Author #15 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Oh I will no doubt - but ya know how tiny and unobtrusive cameras can be!

trvlmil Posted June 21, 2008 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Allie - if your on deck 10 the corner aft is pretty private. If someone in the Windjammer presses their nose to the glass and looks down - they might catch a glimpse! :D Other than that - I wouldnt worry!

Desert Cruizers Posted June 21, 2008 #21 Share Posted June 21, 2008 All this talk about Cameras etc, while disembaking and awaiting a tour, friend of ours had his Digital Camera trained upward to the Decks and took a picture of a man in his robe, with nothing under it, now a few of us took a peak on that one .

ehfl Posted June 22, 2008 #24 Share Posted June 22, 2008 The cruise line won't care. They do have cameras that monitor the exterior of the ship, but it's hard to say exactly which balconies, if any, are visible from any particular camera. I'm sure it's nothing they haven't seen before. Enjoy your balcony! You paid for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labeachcomber Posted June 22, 2008 #25 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I'm sure nude sunbathing is much tamer than some of the other things that go on out there! I'd say go for it and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
