Viral 'Nude' Cruise: Roaming around naked on a cruise, either sounds like part of the crime scene from a hijacked ship or like a movie plot involving those ‘questionable’ rich-people activities, but the one that is going viral on social media these days, has nothing to do with the above two. Believe it or not, there is a unique voyage, where people can cruise around in the ocean naked. Yes, and one of the passengers who went to this once-in-a-lifetime trip, took to social media to share his experience. Taking to his social media handle, the said passenger shared that the cruise had 2000 people, and all the guests were allowed to enjoy the voyage nude.
Basically, clothing was optional. Now we know that it can be a mess with certain kinds of people around, but the experience was rather great, as per the man, who answered all kinds of questions that netizens had.
As per the traveller, the ship, of course, had some rules and regulations, like the passengers did not deboard on the beaches and port without clothes. The nude option was only available when people were at the sea. Apart from that, passengers also carried around towels, to avoid sitting on others’ sweat. As far as the dining was concerned, there were certain places like the dining hall, where guests were not allowed nude. The post, ever since it was shared, went viral on social media.
The man narrating the experience was on the ship with his partner. As per the man’s story, the experience was safe.
The post was shared on the social media platform Reddit, by Redditor ‘wisecommenter2’. The post was captioned, “I just disembarked from a 2,000-person nude cruise. AMA.”
The post read, “Edit: I can't possibly respond to every single question. Here are the answers to the most asked questions.
The staff was dressed.
This was a cruise for nudists, not a ‘lifestyle’ cruise. Accordingly, there was no public sex and no erections that I saw. An erection would be considered poor form in this environment.
Generally speaking, the crowd was older and not particularly attractive. However, there were attractive people too.
The ‘why’ is because it's a nice feeling to be nude, just like it's a nice feeling for a man to be without a shirt at the beach. Skinny dipping is great. Being nude at some of the world's nicest beaches is great.
No bare butts on any surface in any public space. Ever. That's not a difficult concept. Nudists are as interested in hygiene as much as if not more than the next guy.
Most people who try nudism love it. YOLO. Please don't write that the only people who are on nude beaches are the ones who shouldn't be there. That's crabbed and trite.
Thanks.”
Check out the viral post:
Taking to the comment section, people had endless questions to ask. “What’s the policy on cell phones/taking pics? With the world being so virtual now, I would be paranoid that someone is sneaking pics, and I end up on the internet without my knowledge or consent,” a user asked.
“Do you carry a towel everywhere you go? It seems rather gross to have multiple naked sweaty bodies sitting or laying on everything that everyone uses,” asked the next.
“Isn’t that funny? I had the same experience at a nudist resort in Jamaica. Standing in line nude for the restroom is just weird. And then you go in there and you are already naked. Feels weird. And it feels like you forgot to do something when you exit too. Bizarre. But outside of that, I felt totally normal and free everywhere else. I can’t imagine being on a nude cruise. I think I would go all the way to my cabin to use the bathroom. Lol,” shared a third.
