This is not designed to make any judgments about cruising in the nude (i.e. buff in the boat). It is not designed to make jokes like "If anyone is rude to you on a nude cruises, be the bigger person and turn the other cheek." It is not designed to infer that some cruise ships are made for such cruises…like the Carnival Miracle, Liberty of the Seas or Pride of America.
It is designed to relay the facts.
For example, did you know:
• That Carnival has a nude cruise scheduled for February, from Florida to Panama, that the ship carries 2,974 passengers and that at last report it was 70% sold?
• That the American Association for Nude Recreation is more than 80 years old?
• That nudists who refuse to get dressed unless they have to are called "militant nudes."
• That the leading cruise planner in the nudist community — Bare Necessities — is planning some time in the next two years to take naked cruisers to….are you ready for this (you don't even have to scroll down)…Antarctica.
Like we said, just the facts.
And oh yes, the Carnival ship that leaves Florida for Panama next February is called the Freedom.
