The Bare Necessities forum is bareharbor.com. Once you have booked at least one cruise with them you can sign up for an account there. There is a whole thread about the drink package being ridiculously expensive on Norwegian. We never get the package anyway. Remember even days where you are ashore all day you are still paying for all those drinks you won't be having.
We've been on 7 of their cruises and there is no public swinging or play rooms like there is on Bliss Cruises. Other than that, it is a pretty fun crowd. Probably a mix between mellow and party crowds as well as younger and older. It does skew more towards the older crowd, as do lots of nudist resorts that aren't lifestyle. But they still had their fair share of younger crowd as well. Lots of nudity during the day up at the pool or on nude shore excursions, but surprisingly enough not as much at night. This year there were deck parties every night and that is where the younger and more party inclined were at night (and probably where most of the nudity was at night, too).
What they lack in the lifestyle area they make up for in the nude freedom area... You can be nude anywhere on the ship except the main dining room and specialty restaurants so if you've ever wanted to try something different like bowling nude or going to the casino nude, this is your chance.
We have a cabin for next year but have to sell it due to other commitments. Ironically, even though we are not into the lifestyle, we are considering trying our first Bliss Cruise in its place. The cruise is a little shorter and a little later in the year which works out for us.
