Bare Fest Costume Parties & Events
BUCCANEERS & LEGENDS OF THE DEEP – What could be better than a throwback Bare Fest Event and homage to the most popular of all theme nights? Join us for a fabulous costume event to kick off a fabulous cruise. It will be an evening full of famous pirates and creatures that dwell below the surface of the sea – real and mythical – encountered while sailing the briny blue. Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes! Guests can dance the night away under the stars while sailing the high seas.
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT – One of our most popular events where passengers can shine brighter that the stars above. Passengers will dance the night away during our deck party wearing nothing but LED lights. Please note that Carnival does not permit the use of glow sticks.
LEAP YEAR – Relax au naturel during our stay in Mahogany Bay; however, once we set sail; things will start hopping as we celebrate this extra day of the year. Dress up ready to “leap or hop” the night away with our silent night dance party on the pool deck.
PASSENGER TALENT SHOW – As is our tradition, we will end the cruise with our annual passenger talent show. This is your time to spotlight your talent whether it’s singing, telling jokes, or putting on a magic show. You won’t want to miss it; it will amaze you to see how talented our passengers really are. Guests may sign up to audition at Guest Services.
Bare Pickleball
Coach Matty and Coach Meishen will once again be returning to the Big Nude Boat. Both are both IPTPA and PPR certified Pickleball instructors and have taught over 750 clinics in 38 states. This will be their 6th teaching cruise and their 2nd with Bare Necessities aboard the Carnival Pride. They have taught at eight nudist resorts and are looking forward to seeing YOU aboard this year. It’s time to think about Pickleball on the best nude cruise in the world.
