electricron Posted February 16, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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.

dsm711 Posted February 16, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegoer Posted February 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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 Posted February 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erby2283 Posted February 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2006 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutone56 Posted February 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Your wife can sunbathe topless on deck 15 on the Jewel. I believe this is the only NCL ship with that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdchiefthom Posted February 17, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Can my wife and I sun bath toppless.This is a big concern for my wife being from Sweden.She hate tan lines.............. 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?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlb Posted February 17, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margaritagal Posted February 17, 2006 #12 Share Posted February 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryfrei Posted February 20, 2006 #18 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I read in a prior thread that these tan through swim suits work really well.

szdiver Posted February 20, 2006 #19 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Thanks for the information on the tan through suits. I am much too old and flabby to go topless, but still like the tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy jones Posted February 20, 2006 #21 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Here is my story And she did end up with the coveted "Stick on a Ship" so I guess it was worth it.. 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.

jlb Posted February 21, 2006 #23 Share Posted February 21, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
