cruise line with most men in speedos

[Jana60]

i prefer carnival lines as my favorite ship, as i have been on 25 cruises, and probably half of them have been on carnival lines, but it has been ten years since i have been on a cruise.

 

didn't wear speedos then, but after many injuries from hockey, my sports medicine doctor suggested i swim for recovery and found out speedos are so much comfortable for swimming versus board shorts.

 

i would like those of you that have been on cruise lines with the most men wearing speedos on them if carnival or other ships to send me a message to which they are. thank you plt

 

I'm very grateful to say that on my 19 cruises on 4 cruise lines very few men wore speedos. Most men look better nude than in a speedo but if a person doesn't care about such things then.....:rolleyes: Main difference between nude and the speedo is the presence of some scapes of fabric that primarilly just make the fat pucker.

I say, free to be you and me! If you feel like wearing a Speedo, go for it!

 

As far as swimming for exercise, some of the Princess ships (Crown, Caribbean, et al) have a "water treadmill" which shoots a jet stream of water into the pool and you swim against that. I believe they're located in the Lotus Pool which is the forward most pool on board.

P&O Ventura has an endless pool in the spa area, free to all.

Try Atlantis.. You'll see the most men wearing speedos on them.

 

i will have to try the atlantis soon. i have over two dozen speedos. most are bright colors. a lot of them i wear for special holidays, like i have kelly green , black with kelly trim for st. patricks day. i have bright orange for halloween and for breast awarement for this month i have a hot pink, pink leopard, tie die with pink in it and a multi stripe pink,purple,red & coral.

i will be wearing them tonight and tomorrow at the casino pool in palm springs. i also have bright red, royal, leopard , gold and metallic gold.

 

i agree most men don't wear speedos, other than the ones you mentioned on atlantis and in europe it is the norm!

 

i guess i am not like most men, as when i told a friend in the service i like to be different, he said we all know you are different!

 

thanks for the tips. plt ps just ordered a flag embroided board short from lands end and a palm pink seersucker suit as well , both 9 inch.

Forget the speedo wear a mankini and yes they come in other colors

 

love the color, as i love festive colors, i will wear a mankini as long as you wear one with me! i am 6 ft 1, bald, hairy chest and 210 pounds.

 

plt ps i am 65,swtill playing ice hockey with guys 60-80.

I saw three guys in speedos on the Carnival Liberty last month.

I was very glad I caught a glimpse of these fellas! I lucked out because they really did rock the speedo!:p

 

did everyone else, that being guys of course, were they wearing board shorts? well if you remember them, seeing you said they rock the speedos, i am assuming they weren't your basic black, nothing wrong with black, but the festive colors probably the reason they rock the speedos! plt

Those aren't the only two options.......You could also try standard swim trunks if you don't want to wear a Speedo.

 

However, if you want to wear a Speedo, I don't think anyone will stop you ;)

 

Another deep sigh and thank you!!!! :D

There have been many on EVERY cruise I've taken! Most shouldn't be wearing them in public!

 

Why? Hurt you sensibilities. I'm sure they are not worried.

 

Lets face it..there are far more woman shoving their cottage cheese wobbling behinds in to tight or one size too small pant suits and other such contraptions than I see men wearing speedos.

 

But I'm sure you won't complain about woman wearing bikinis.......or do you expect them to wear a kaftan or a muumuu?

Any cruise with lots of Europeans to sunny destinations avoid Spring cruises to Alaska since still too cold for sunbathing. Most I've seen on RCCL to Mexican Rivera, but far fewer than trip to Rio or Deutchland in summer.:D

I have a pair of board shorts that are made by Speedo. They do make other swimwear that are not banana hammocks.

Amazon just delivered my new Speedo boards. I waited too long; all trunks had been sold out in local stores.

[lahlah57]

So much I would like to say but I think i better stick to a safer thread.........mankini:confused::D:eek:

[sft429]

Wear 'em if you got 'em, but one cruise image burned forever into my memory is of the man whose speedo disappeared from view when he sat down. :confused:

[lahlah57]

Point made from poster above.....LOL!:D

Wow there is a Speedo thread from 2012 that I am not on (must have been on a cruise) I once started a serious(no really) thread about this type of swimwear and after some impertinent remarks from some Aussies it was yanked by the mods.I do find the whole subject to be a funny culture difference between the U.S. and everyone else in the western world. Just to show you there is nothing new under the sun, Fifty years ago on beaches in New Jersey my two brothers and I (and every one else)would go into stiches every time we saw a man in a speedo and my father would say ''ask him what part of Canada he is from'' My point on the thread was do they ever go out of style(please) and can we get some new kind of trade deal with the E.U. and others and get you guys some real bathing suits.Please

Just have to comment how things are so different around the world. Where we live in that in Finland swimming shorts are considered dirty as they have mo fabric and folds in them where sweat and dirt can accumulate if not washed really throrough after every use. Therefore men are not aloud to use them in swimminghalls and pools, instead they must use speedos.

 

Now as i think of the cruiseshippools i feel disgusted to think that many men use their shorts in them.

 

Isnt it funny how things can be viewed so differently :p

First post ever....

 

I have been on several cruise lines, but recently went on a Costa ship. They definitely have the most men in speedos. Some men looked good and some didn't. I think speedos are nice if you have a good body. On this cruise, there were several men that could "rock the speedo" as said in prior posts.

 

One day I went to lay out on deck and saw the smallest speedo I have ever seen. I was alone with my mom and made an excuse about where to move our chairs so that we could get closer to where he was laying.

 

I even snuck a pic in when he went to the shower on deck. If you look good, I say where what you want! They certainly do on Costa.

Hmmm.... I'm not sure that any guy should be proud of the fact that he can fit his dangly parts into smallest speedo ever made!
