I was aware of this but it's still a bit strange that these waiters will be exposed to nude guest throughout the cruise on every other deck, in every other portion of the ship but don't want to be expose to this in the dining room. I think it's fine to require covering and maybe this happens but ... my wife would be fine with a sheer dress but is that permissible? Does your nakedness have to be covered completely?Additionally ... food prep and service at nude resorts is always done by clothed people and many of these people are nudists ... why?Health Dept regulations. There seems to be something about being naked and handling food. At our club, the entire staff of the Caf are nudists and live in the nudist community, yet they are dressed; top, shorts/pants, shoes, apron. I never really asked but did say to one of the ladies we've become friends with ... "it's hot in here, how come you've got clothes on?" Her reply, "I wish I could be naked but we can't." So ... it seems like there are some regulations with food handling and nudity. Now ... why are those rules in place?Our plans are to take a smaller nude cruise on a smaller ship, with friends. If and when that happens, I'll be sure to report on how that goes and what rules they enforce. Still ... the need to be dressed or covered while eating, at home, just seems strange to us because ... well, we've never had a meal, at home and alone, and had anyclothes on! :D
The waiters would only see nude guests if they are sent to take bar orders up on deck, or sent to man the lido buffet or pool grill. The most senior ones probably get to stay in the dining room for their entire shift. The more expensive cruises on the PG and SC have much higher paid crew who are making this their profession (they are also more likely to be European or North American, where nudity isn't banned by religious law, so the idea of nude passengers won't be totally foreign to them). They are more likely to not have a problem with nude guests at dinner. And of course there are also small sailing yachts you can charter that completely cater to nudists. The crew (most likely the owners) are even likely to be nude with you on those boats!
You need to be covered in the MDR, but sheer dresses and tops have been known to make it through!
Having to be clothed to SERVE food is a different matter, and probably required by the board of health in order to pass inspections. Every nude resort we've been to had clothed kitchen and wait staff, some of which were residents of the resort.
Maybe y'all can help me figure myself out.When I'm home alone, which is a lot, I do everything in the nude, but when I want to sit down and eat, I feel the need to put something on. Why am I that way? What is going on in my brain?
It just takes a few times in a nude social setting and that need will go away. Our first time eating nude with others was at a large nude lobster bash and was liberating to say the least. We have every meal at in the nude. And have meals nude with nudist friends as well at our home and theirs.
This thread hit my funny bone.
We belong to a nude resort (Sunny Rest) and they have a very good restaurant, right next to the pool. There is no issue with going and having breakfast, lunch or dinner nude as long as you have a towel to sit on. However, I just HAVE to put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt to go eat in there! My wife is fine nude but for some reason I need cloths on.
The only other times I wear clothes during our time there is if it is chilly or when cooking at our campsite. I learned the hard way the effects of splattering bacon grease on a penis!
What an odd idiosyncrasy I have, but it is nice to know that others share it.
''why is it on nudecruises ... nudists are required to be clothed in the dining rooms ... Just as the servers and food preparers, there is a thought that an incidental scratch, touch, adjustment, rub ... will somehow taint everyone else's food but your own and that freaks many people out.''Clothing is only required in the main dining room and any specialty restaurants. If you go to the buffet on the lido deck, you can eat nude so it doesn't seem to be about anything to do with the guests. I'm sure the real reason is that the waiters don't want to serve nude guests, but we will never know. That is just one of the agreements signed into the contract between the nude charter company and whichever cruise line they are going with for that particular cruise. I can only speak for the cruises on the big-ship main lines (Carnival, Celebrity, Holland America, etc). The nude charter company also does much more expensive cruises on high end yachts like the Paul Gauguin and Star Clippers. This rule may not apply on those ships.
Skid marks.

So if you and your wife were stranded on a deserted island with a ship load of food and no clothes, you would end up starving to death for lack of clothes to wear while eating? She would fare just fine, because she can eat nude, but you would starve to death because you could not put on some clothes first before eating.
