Nope, not unless the solicitations are frequent and harassing. Then there might be a case that security would step in. I can't ever remember that _without warning_, security has ported even a harassing passenger. Cruise lines don't like bad publicity and attempt if at all possible to keep problems handled internally. They would be more likely to lock you in your room or in the ship's brig than to port you. -- Ari Silverstein, C.T.A; C.T.A.S, FREE Cruise Travel Advisory Services www.cruisequick.com - able to offer some of the lowest prices and best value added in the industry.

Why the overkill? Because it has been found necessary? I'm just guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised if some folks are concerned about being made uncomfortable, and enough have asked, that rules have been made to ensure the comfort of the passengers. Keep in mind, that both for this, and for other questions that you have asked, if nobody complains, no action will be taken. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA dabel(a)sonic.net

I'll remind you that, according to the cite, these are the rules of the cruise line, not the charter agency: http://www.bare-necessities.com/decorum.html As such, the Captain is enforcing the rules of his/her employer. If the captains don't get all weird and arbitrary on non-nude cruises, they shouldn't behave differently on nude cruises. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA dabel(a)sonic.net

This is where I find the problem. There IS another way. But it involves tasers. That's why we discuss tasters in rec.nude all the time! :-) Terry "How Shocking!" Wood |
