If you’ve been wondering when and where you can be bare aboard the ship and ashore during the Sunshine cruise, you’re in the right place. We’re here to tell you that while at sea you may be bare anywhere on the ship except the main dining room and specialty restaurants. You may eat in the buff at the buffet, coffee shop, or any other self-serve locations and when the ship is docked in port you need to be dressed unless an announcement is made that specifies otherwise.

HALF MOON CAY, BAHAMAS
You may be bare on the ship and island because we are at anchor and have arranged to be the only ship there. However, you will need to dress on the ferry that takes you from the ship to the island. This is a bare island beach day and you may be bare everywhere. However, the Bahamians request that we wear something when going through the BBQ lunch buffet on the island and while visiting the shops — a sarong, shorts, or towel will be fine.

Carnival is negotiating with private beaches and private catamaran tour operators to offer bare excursions for our charter. On a past charter, Dolphin Cove’s beach was bare, but we have not received the full list for our current charter. We will email that information as soon as possible. Excursions may not be purchased until you receive your Carnival Booking Number approximately one month prior to the cruise.  

Booking tours through the cruise line are the best way to guarantee a reliable tour because they use safe, licensed, and insured tour operators. While in Ocho Rios, beware of scams involving locals trying to sell “ganja”.

You will have to dress when leaving the ship and walking through the area with the shops and when using the “Flying Beach Chairs”. 

However, there is nearby private island Isla Pasion (Passion Island) and Carnival has confirmed this excursion will be made nude for our charter. It has always been a popular excursion for our passengers. Here is the description:
