Bare Necessities 2017 Nude Cruise O

This group is designed as a gathering place those who will be going on this particular cruise Feb 5-14, 2017. Bare Necessities is a travel planner in Austin TX. https://cruisenude.com.

This will be our first nude cruise and my first cruise ever! Well, unless you count "cruises" where I stood watch, repaired equipment, and cleaned heads. I don't!
We went to our first CO resort this past July and had a great time. I am very happy she enjoyed it since I had already booked the BNBD2B cruise :)
Got a question, though. Are mosquitoes going to be a problem on these islands? If so, is there a repellent you recommend? Deet works really well where I live, but man that is some nasty stuff.
We're really looking forward to this cruise!

RE: First Cruise

We brought insect repellent wipes (30% DEET) on this year's cruise, but never really needed them. We were mostly concerned with the chikungunya virus, but it was a non-factor. We ended up bringing the wipes with us again to Club Orient in June and again didn't use them. There are no specific expiration dates on the wipes, so if they haven't dried out by the 2017 cruise, we will probably bring them again!
Regular mosquitos are mainly a problem at night, and we will be at sail again by then, so there won't be any around anyway.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't heard of the wipes before. I'll visit Amazon and have a look-see. (Amazon seems oddly appropriate for this ;)

We bought ones called Ben's Wipes... from Amazon!

We've never had a problem with any insects even when we hiked through the rainforest!
