Nude cruising may be the next big thing for Florida

"Mom, the people on that ship have no clothes on!" Could this be something you could hear from your four-year old on your next cruise as you dock next to another ship in port?

According to Wesh 2 News, nude cruising in Florida may be launching in the near future. Some may argue that any future would be too soon. The economy is said to have something to do with it. One would think that an all-inclusive cruise would be considered before a literal rendition of the famous Kenny Chesney song, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem," became a reality.

Nudists can appear at many beaches, including Haulover Beach in Miami, and campsites in the U.S. Although many cruise lines offer "top-optional" sun decks, no cruise line has gone threadbare.

Although no set plans to launch a nude cruise line exist as of today, it may be in the near future.

    I've got news for you: This is not a someday-in-the-future thing. Just this October, I was among 2500 nudists who sailed out of Fort Lauderdale on a nude cruise. This was my third big-ship all-nude cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in the last five years. It happing now, folks!

    Nud cruises have existed through Bare Necessities for over 14 years.

    They have several a year and lease the best ships for a week.

    No.

    Clothes don't come off until international waters, silly.

    We've been on four nude cruises...and "dozens" have been promoted by Bare Necessities of Austin, TX. The experience makes it difficult for us to take a "clothed" cruise ever again!

    Shure would help security. I would feel safer knowing no one could hide anything.

    The October cruise from Bare Necessities was great. I will be going on their cruise next February.

    I highly recommend it but you need to book early because they sell out. There is a great deal of interest in the nude cruises.

    Bare Necessities had 2 nude cruises from Florida in 2009 - one from Tampa on the Carnival Legend and one from Ft. Lauderdale on the Carnival Miracle. I know because I was on them both. It is a whole new and improved way to cruise.

    Is it possible to get on one by accident? Sounds crappy to have to run and put your clothes on each time you dock - what's the point?

    The one vacation you can take and not worry about losing your luggage. You don't need any!
