Keith & Rita,

That was a great link .

As far as thongs are concerned I think there is a proper time and place for everything. The question about whether or not thongs are appropriate for a cruise ship I believe has to do propriety. It's usually not proper to wear shorts in the dining room even though some people do it. Guest are advised about formal evenings, yet some guest decide to wear jeans on those evenings.

There are usually sections of the ship reserved for women who like topless sunbathing. No one seems to think its proper to have topless sunbathing in the general area.

I don't think thongs are appropriate in the public areas of the cruise ship except on the stage for the Las Vegas style show. If thongs are worn maybe an appropriate cover-up can be worn.

BTW, No I couldn't get away with wearing a thong.

I could give the " polictically correct" answer, which is " everyone should just do what they want and what they are comfortable with" , but that wouldn't be the truth.( for me)

I think thongs belong on a beach, preferably an adult orientated beach. I think that if one wears a thong they are doing one of two things( or both) .

a) showing off their bottom.

b) trying to get a good tan.

a) is too vain for me. I don't want to see your size 3 a*s, and I don't care how hard you've worked out to get that.

b) I do understand, but then I would assume if one was wearing such a suit for that particular purpose only, then one could throw on a wrap or towel if one walks across the pool deck to get a drink etc. in which case I could care less what they are wearing while actually lieing down on a lounge.

In this day and age it seems so hard to have any sort of values.You get called uptight or mean, but, I just don't care, wearing a thong can be a form of exhibitionism as far as I am concerned, your bottom is NAKED in public for goodness sake.

Goodness sake , some people don't mind thongs , but just try and breastfeed in public and they are freaked out they might see an inch of breast!

Breastfeeding does not bother me at all, thongs do. Go figure.
