Nude cruise passengers have shared the surprising rules they have to follow to stop the ship from smelling unpleasant.
We went through a spell earlier this year where we'd talk about nothing but nude cruises, though you can see why much of the internet has a lot of questions about it.
This kind of cruise experience is certainly unique, so those considering boarding one and stripping off will want to know some of the niche rules and etiquette that must be followed.

One passenger recently divulged on what's expected of guests having recently been on a nude cruise themselves.
"I just disembarked from a 2,000 person nude cruise," the Redditor began her post.
The passenger then broke down the rest of their message in simple bullet points, which stated: "1. The staff was dressed.
"2. This was a cruise for nudists, not a 'lifestyle' cruise. Accordingly, there was no public sex and no erections that I saw. An erection would be considered poor form in this environment.
"3. Generally speaking, the crowd was older and not particularly attractive. However, there were attractive people too.
"4. The 'why' is because it's a nice feeling to be nude, just like it's a nice feeling for a man to be without a shirt at the beach. Skinny dipping is great. Being nude at some of the world's nicest beaches is great.
"5. No bare butts on any surface in any public space. Ever. That's not a difficult concept. Nudists are as interested in hygiene as much as if not more than the next guy."
I mean, none of them sounds unreasonable for a nude cruise.
And if you're looking to get involved with a nude cruise in 2025, then Bare Necessities has already released its itinerary for next year, with its first cruise of the 2025 set to take place in February.
The 11-day trip, which is in collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Lines, is set to depart from Miami to a private island in the Bahamas.
Cabin prices - based on two people sharing - start at around $2,000, rising to $33,155 for a three-bedroom villa.
The ship, the Norwegian Pearl, has a passenger capacity of 2,300.
"Our mission is to provide relaxing, entertaining and health-conscious vacation opportunities that offer non-threatening, natural environments where the appreciation, wonder and compatibility of nature and the unadorned human form can occur," Bare Necessities have said of its upcoming voyages.
