I think if you can wear a thong then you should.
That's why men wear dark sunglasses on the beach.
Ok, I'm sailing in 6 days and I just know that if I see a speedo or thong I'm going to bust out laughing thinking of this thread.
Just wondering if anyone ever saw girls/women wearing thongs? I hope not since we will be having our children with us. It is a Disney Cruise.... so that is another reason that I would think it would not be an issue. Just wondering. Thanks.
And when that man in his speedos goes to the pool, tell me honestly do you not look?
Americans are way too prudish about nudity IMHO. When I was a child it wasn't uncommon to see naked toddlers/preschoolers at the beach, nowadays if a toddler or infant is wearing a 2 piece swimsuit it's considered indecent

There was a family that every day we saw them on the ship the mother and DAUGHTER (7ish yrs old) both had them on!?!?! I was appauled! My 7 year old kept saying they needed to pull there suits out of their butts! LOL
Anyone visiting Barcelona on the Med cruises may see something a little more risque than a man in Speedos or a thong .... there is an infamous man in Barcelona who walks the streets wearing nothing but painted on underwear ........
may be something to warn the kids or anyone with a delicate disposition about before you go
I will have to keep an eye out for that!Anyone visiting Barcelona on the Med cruises may see something a little more risque than a man in Speedos or a thong .... there is an infamous man in Barcelona who walks the streets wearing nothing but painted on underwear ........

This reminds me of what we saw in OKW in Oct 08, we were enjoying a stroll around the town and walked down near the beach only to see a slim middle aged male walking towards our 13yr old daughter with what can be described as a flesh coloured tube that started at the back and then a "cigar shaped tube" tied with cord at the front. I remember the shock and horror on her face as she tried to walk away but the curiosity got the better of her and followed him for a second, my wife and I were laughing although shocked as we are aware how prudish the "States" can seem, although they are really.
We are in Barcelona for 2 cruises this summer and will keep an eye open for this guy.
Very funny thread. In a related subject...for those of you going on the Med cruise and will be touring Barcelona, beware. Les Ramblas is the most famous promenade in Spain and if you walk north a little, you will see anatomically correct bronze statues.
As we came up on these statues, my daughter saw them and reached over to cover my eyes. My wife pointed out that "daddy has that too honey, no sense covering his eyes!" Our hotel was right by these statures so we had to pass them everytime we left the hotel and my daughter would blush.
So one of the reasons we love to travel is to let our children experience how other people live....I suppose that includes butt floss swim suites.

You guys are all cracking me up... pun intended
Yes I admit I look but in an "OMG, I wish he's put some clothes on" kinda way
Its still pretty common to see kids naked here on the beach etc - the biggest risk is skin cancer though and they are now having to play ads on TV saying "never let your child get sunburnt".

We were on the Magic Western on Jan. 23 and the day we went to Key West I had to run back to the ship because as we walked off the ship, the DH turns to look at me and says "are you going to get a hat or just get your head sunburned?" (I have total perm. hair loss from radiation tx and just forget sometimes that I don't have my wig on ) So I say I will meet him & the kids somewhere on the square in 10 minutes. So I get back off the ship and am looking around for them. I see the DH in the distance near what looks like a museum with some cool looking, realistic statues. Oh, good, some culture.
I get a little closer and see the kids running around in a circle of statues. How cute!
I get even closer. They are running around a circle of NAKED LADY statues!! DH is on the phone, totally oblivious. I told him we were going to get our parenting license taken away if he wasn't careful!
Of course, I had to document the fact...
LOVE the little kid standing to the side of the above...
Okay, so not really real looking, but pretty funny...
Most kids won't give it another thought, they only dwell on stuff parents get hyper about.
