Foxy lady Posted January 5, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes, it was either on the Golden or the Grand, can't recall which one. I know we were above basketball courts. Not a large area but private and accomodates at least 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceJ Posted January 5, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2008 No, there is no "public" place to topless sunbathe that I know of, unless you have mini-suite on Dolphin deck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 5, 2008 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Does anyone know is there is a topless sun bathing area on any of the Princess Ships?No, there are no topless sunbathing areas on Princess ships. No, there is no "public" place to topless sunbathe that I know of, unless you have mini-suite on Dolphin deck!!I'm a little confused as to why Dolphin deck mini-suites, which are completely exposed on the Grand-class ships, would be more appropriate? Perhaps you meant Emerald deck mini-suites which are completely covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nschurr Posted January 5, 2008 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2008 There is topless bathing on my balcony. Only during the hours my wife is at bingo.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaye from Chicagoland Posted January 5, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes, it was either on the Golden or the Grand, can't recall which one. I know we were above basketball courts. Not a large area but private and accomodates at least 20. I believe you are talking about the private pool we saw when touring the Bridge. I thought we were told that pool was for staff/entertainers only - this was on the Golden Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruze610 Posted January 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you want to go topless, I think you had better try Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted January 5, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you want to go topless, I think you had better try Carnival. I have UNCOVERED that Carnival has REMOVED the TOPless deck on their ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanne1 Posted January 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2008 unless you have mini-suite on Dolphin deck!! Happened on our last cruise, just below us - my husband missed it but my BIL was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 5, 2008 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It was a joke and a funny one at that :DA couple of years ago, we were in a Caribe deck balcony and one day, while we were in port, I was hanging out there and got up to move around a little, going to the railing. The old gentleman (had to be in his 80s) in the cabin below us on Dolphin deck came out, proceeded to completely strip, laid his swimsuit and stuff out on the chairs, walked around his balcony a bit then went inside. I was struck dumb. It was NOT a pretty sight. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjam Posted January 5, 2008 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2008 It was NOT a pretty sight. :( For some reason, people equate topless with Playboy. I was on a Sun Princess cruise and one of the guys I was hanging out with was in his early 20s. His big thing was to get himself to a topless beach at one of the ports so he could take in all the "natural beauty." He came back with tales of the beach being popluated with very non-Playboy "bunnies." He was quite disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrongwaywatson Posted January 7, 2008 #24 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Two years ago we were on the CB and it was docked at St. Martin. I was shopping with DH and some friends. They had an 18 year old son. We all went back to the ship at different times. My friend and her daughter didn't want to walk back, but I wanted some exercise, so they took a cab and I walked. I didn't backtrack to the road, but went instead down towards the water. I could see the bridge I needed to cross and figured it would be shorter. All of a sudden I came across a topless beach area. There were about 20 college age girls there. I just kept walking and was laughing to myself. I kept saying, boy Dan, Rob & Cory (18 yr old) sure missed this! When I told Cory, we was like, lets to back! It was really pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy lady Posted January 7, 2008 #25 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I believe you are talking about the private pool we saw when touring the Bridge. I thought we were told that pool was for staff/entertainers only - this was on the Golden Princess. I don't recall any pool that was nearby. There are smaller pools which are reserved strictly for staff/crew but we weren't anywhere near that. It wasn't advertised as a topless area but seemed to be pretty well known (ha ha, I'm sure!) I can't recall which ship but I think it was the Golden. It was several years ago, 2002 or 2004, 10 day cruise to the mediterranean. Perhaps the policies have changed since then.
