Aside from the terrible pun, you’re probably here to find out about a man who went on a 2,000-person nude cruise.
Far from being a free willy, there actually happens to be strict rules on board, along with the one thing that ‘everyone knew’ they had to follow.
Taking to Reddit, the man opened up about what it was actually like to go on a certain type of holiday.

The trip, organised by Texas-based company Bare Necessities Tour and Travel, set sail from Tampa, Florida, and allowed passengers to take in the beauty of Mexico and Honduras during its seven days at sea.
The anonymous man said the US trip, which cost around $2,500 (£1,965) per person, was ‘awesome’, and reiterated that it was ‘not a swingers’ cruise or a sex-positive environment’, but rather ‘a crowd with lots of nudist experience’.
And there were some stipulations all passengers had to abide by.
To start, he explained how the captain would make an announcement about 30 minutes after exiting a part about ‘when clothes can be removed’.

“Same, in reverse, going into port,” he said.
He also stressed that there was no obligation to remove your clothes if you didn’t want to, however, ‘most people were nude most of the time‘.
Opening up the thread to questions from curious Redditors, one 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.”
The man responded: “Yes. One must only sit with a towel under one’s bare butt. There are clean towels all over the ship.”
As for the most important rule of all: no photography.

Adding that this was a rule ‘everyone knew’, he explained: “I was much less worried here than I have been at nude beaches. Almost no one had phones with them outside their cabin.
“There were many signs posted. There were a lot of staff from the charter company whose job it was to enforce good naturist etiquette.
“And I’ve spent time online researching nudism and I’ve never seen a single online photograph from the cruise except for the group shots that people voluntarily pose for.
“For those reasons, I wasn’t concerned.”
