As far as I know all Carnival ships, and all of the Carnival ships I have been on, there is a deck area that is reserved for topless sun bathing.

Yep - On all of the Carnival ships I've been on have had a topless sun bathing deck. I've never seen anyone sun bathing topless there but I guess you can.

Oh yes, and it has produced a number of entertaining strings on this board, usually involving complaints by women about men who stroll the decks gawking at them. The most objectionable gawkers have been described as old and hairy.

Just like the women with the low cut tops who can't wait to catch you looking at them so they can look at you like you just came in the bathroom without permission.

Yeah they are. My wife and I have actually seen them. On our honeymoon aboard the Paradise we wanted to go to the highest point on the ship to take some video. We were getting ready to walk up the steps and saw the signs that said no cameras or video recorders because of the nude sunbathing. We went up there thinking there might not be anyone up there and there was woman up there topless.

This subject received over 140 something responses around March before last. It is (or was) considered a 'tops OPTIONAL' deck and is located on the funnel deck.

We (males) were suggested to maybe wear sunglasses so that we would not be so obvious AND IT WOULD NOT OFFEND IF we BUY THE LADIES SOME DRINKS with no strings attached.

... BUY THE LADIES SOME DRINKS with no strings attached.

Does that mean there are drinks with strings attached? What are they called? I might want to try one. :)

"drinks with strings attached"

Yes, they are called "feed bags" and you order them when you want to horse around.

When we were on the Glory in 2003 we just had to check it out for oursleves as we were skeptical. Yes, this is VERY true. The Funnell Deck is top optional. You would never catch me up there letting it all hang out, but more power to the people that do. I havent and dont think I will visit that deck again now that I know what its all about!!

Here’s my funnel deck story.

On my very first cruise back in 2000 on the Paradise I wanted a photo of the horizon with nothing in my way. At that time I didn’t have digital cameras just a large 35mm. So off to the highest point of the ship I went. Oblivious to everything even signs. Well maybe not oblivious to everything. As I walked around on the funnel deck I came across a young lady that was topless. My thought was HEY. So I walked on some more and found yet another young and well endowed young lady topless. Yes my thought was HEY, HEY, HEY.

Then I saw the sign. Tops optional deck, NO Video or Still Cameras aloud. Pretty hard to hide a big 35mm hanging around your neck. So I escorted myself off the funnel deck, never to return with a camera again.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. LOL

Several years ago while traveling with our children and their spouses we couldn't find enough deck chairs for us all except up on the topless deck. At the time there were some people there, but no topless females. As the week progressed it sort of became a meeting place for us. In the course of that week we perhaps saw four or five topless ladies. That really wasn't a big deal if you had ever been to any beaches in Europe!

I never thought about going up there and not having to be topless...it's a great idea to go up there to get away from the crowds. I don't know why I didn't think of it before since I've been to beaches where some women were topless but most of the rest of us weren't, and it wasn't a big deal. Oh, to be that confident! :-D

re

Mlzangel, you are so right!! like when you have to look to the SIDES... if you know what I mean.

I see women there of all shapes and sizes, it's not a free for all, just a place for those who like to tan with no lines to go. I go there and untie my top, but then I get tired of holding on to it and take it off. No one bothers you, I think it's great.

Although I have to say, I would hate it if I came in one day BECAUSE I want to take my top off, and discovered that all the chairs were taken by "topped" people!! LOL I remember on the GLory, the tops optional deck was one flight of stairs away from the volleyball court, and a lot of young men were playing and even more had chosen to come up to "watch the game" from a better view... I have to say I was annoyed, JUST AS MUCH AS I WAS WHEN I ORIGINALLY POSTED THE 'OLD HAIRY DUDE' POST

YOU TELL EM COPPERTONE . TOPLESS DECK MEANS TOPLESS MALE OR FEMALE. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT OFF DON'T GO UP CAUSE THERE IS PLENTY TO SEE AT THE POOL. HAVE FUN AND ENJOY.

Don't worry TropDaddy, if I went up there, I'd do like Coppertone Girl and go ahead and be topless to forgo the strap lines. The straps and associated tan lines from my bikini do not go with my red sequin formal gown, so you can bet I won't be up there trying to tan without strings. Too much work. Just take it off! Cheaper than a fake -n- bake salon, too. The rest of the time, I'll be good and go on down to the other decks. :)
