Man who went on 2,000-person nude cruise ship explains sex policy after being asked about orgies on board
A bloke who went on a 2,000 person nude cruise has been answering questions about his experience.
The Bare Necessities Tour and Travel company has a cruise which sets sail from Tampa, Florida, and stops in Mexico and Honduras for an entertaining week on the high seas.
Only everyone who buys a ticket is starkers on board the boat, as the man on the cruise said the passengers were 'a crowd with lots of nudist experience'.

They weren't naked all the time, ports weren't awaiting the arrival of a ship with 2,000 naked people ready to disembark for a day of letting it all hang out in a port city.
Apparently the crew would tell passengers about 30 minutes before docking that they had to put some clothes on, and the same went for heading back out to sea and shedding the layers once again.
However, if you think getting 2,000 naked people on board a boat is just an excuse to have a giant orgy then you'd be very much wrong, as the man explained the 'awesome' cruise was 'not a swingers cruise or a sex positive environment'.
He wrote: "The cruise is very much non-sexual, so not in public.
"I don't know what people do behind closed doors, just like I don't know what people do behind closed doors at home."
So either this 2,000 naked cruise wasn't an excuse to have a giant sex boat, or the guy answering questions about it on Reddit wasn't invited to the secret nautical orgies.
It's probably the first option, as he then wrote that he thought there were 'lifestyle cruises' where that sort of thing does happen, but the cruise he took wasn't anything like that.
Elsewhere he described the rules people had to stick to, including only sitting down once you'd laid out your towel to avoid 2,000 bare butts being squished against the cruise ship's upholstery.
As well as wearing clothes in port, you have to wear them in the dining rooms and at the captain's cocktail party, and while it doesn't have to be fancy you can't just show up to dinner in lingerie or a bathrobe.
He also made sure to note the golden rule on the cruise, no photography.
This is 'good naturist etiquette' and crew members had the responsibility of making sure it was followed, though fortunately this was a rule 'everyone knew'.
If this sounds like it'd butter your parsnips the trip costs around $2,500 (£1,965) per person, but if you'd like to really push the boat out the most expensive cabin will cost you $33,155 (£26,021).
