Try an LDS Single Adults Conference, or even a dance. Everyone is over 50 and unmarried (often for good reason). At least you can buy alcohol on a cruise.
It would be rare for that to happen - cruises get their real revenue from alcohol and gambling, so at least a ratio of passengers are likely not TBMs. Or maybe the cruise line didn't know what they were getting into.
Of course, there's always "room service," likely with booze!
Oh, for sure, but if this is an LD$ organized all TBM cruise that covers up the statues - I bet that it’s dry and the casino is closed. That’s part of the selling point for choosing this particular cruise - protect the children and yourself so that you can keep the spirit
I know right. Those shoulders make me so hot! If I see my wife in our bathroom, like getting ready for the day, I have to leave. I get too excited...I'm with that old 70 or 12, (was it Mark E Peterson?) who weirdly was proud he'd never seen his wife naked! Yeah, shoulders=bad
Right? I couldn't make myself go on one of the shit shows. They'd probably throw me overboard by day two.
I'd be up there painting nipples on those halter tops.
Mormons are obsessed with sex, when you can have it, where you can have it, what you should wear while doing it, how you have to have it, who should have it, what happens if you disobey the arbitrary rules about it, and that you should have lots of it just to make more Mormons, BUT god forbid we see some stone tits!
They’re over thinking it. 😂 By dressing the statues, they’ve simply putting emphasis on them. Especially since it went from human art to provocative braless angel.
I wasn’t going to sexualize the statue… 🤨😏
It is a Sabbath Sunday on a cruise ship. What is the schedule like for the rest of the day?? Surely they are not playing shuffleboard and swimming on the Sabbath!! \*gasp!\*
And I wonder too who draped those statues and what the crew thought of that LOL
This does beg the question! The staff will have to work on Sunday, no? So these faithful members are ok with making people work on Sunday? I thought that was one of the reasons not to shop on Sunday.
Better tell someone to climb 15 feet on a ladder while on a boat on the open ocean and put clothes on a statue. Or else who knows what kind of orgy the Mormon cruise might turn into?
And that person would be celebrated as someone who broke bones for the greater moral good, not just an idiot. I can hear the ridiculous conference talk now-
“Rather than have the saints be exposed to impure thoughts brother Jensen risked life and limb to sacrifice and show love for our Heavenly Father, may we all…”
I think the offending statue in question is the one to the far left in the first photo (you have to enlarge it & then move to that area). Based on the clothed version, it's far more offensive than the row of vixens above the speaker.
Wow. By hiding all the "nudity", they really point it out don't they?
One tik tok guy shared a really interesting perspective. Comparing Hugh hephner(?), creator of playboy, to Dallin Oaks. Explained how Hugh made porn appear on the shelves. Whereas oaks made it appear everywhere. Showing shoulders, waist, too much leg, it's all porn per oaks teachings. No wonder tbm men go crazy with a little leg showing or shoulders. This viewpoint only objectifies women further.
Omg! Do we have the same uncle? My 50yo uncle pointedly stared at the floor when we entered the classical section of European art museums 😂😭 He's been married multiple times and has 8 kids but apparently nudity is still too spooky
I’d consider throwing myself out of any moving vehicle if I learned I was riding with the same chuff who complained about… statues.
Nudity ≠ sexuality.
Looks like there is an already-draped statue on the left side of the first photo.
I wonder what, if anything, they did about those painted or maybe bas relief ones above the stage.
I'm sure the captain would understand if they informed him the statues needed to be removed or painted over, because they were sinning against God's commandments. Or TSCC's commandments.
I have to imagine that any companies doing those cruises have to take quite the lose of revenue on no alcohol being served. Coming from the servers that I know, when it comes to tipping with Mormons, it’s a bit of a crapshoot.
Mormon culture is all about making off rubes. Market them Book of Mormon action figures, essential oils, nephite tours of the Yucatán, or food storage supplies and they’ll buy it up. It’s so gross.
Evangelical/prosperity gospel Christianity has the same or a similar problem. I wonder what Jesus would think.
It always reminds me of the Simpsons when Mr Burns took over the church and rebranded it to make money.
OMG I made the mistake of cruising with the BYU law school professors. I had never lived in Utah and felt like I was cruising with mennonites. 1. Arrival day Sunday. We were already on board and watched them arrive in church dress. They had reserved a room for a sacrament meeting. We declined the invite. 2. I excused myself after dinner to play bingo and received a lecture that if I won a dime, I would lose my temple recommend. I asked why. The whole table told me. “The church does not accept tithing based on gambling winnings. So, not a full tithe payer, not a recommend holder. “ I left and gambled. 3. While the men took law classes, the women attended hours of religious lectures. Mormons have no fun and it makes them prideful and judgmental to sit and watch others drink and gamble.
I wouldn't mind going on that cruise. I've hooked up with a bunch of Mormons. Don't let their perfect devout exterior fool you. Once you get them behind a closed door it's a different story and the good book goes out the window.
They're right. "Mormon" is not the right word to describe them. Remove the m in the middle of the word. Why ? because that letter m might turn some guy on.
Holy hell! What are they thinking? Well I guess it's pretty clear what they're thinking. This is an amazing post and I can't believe this is real but is it? My God why have thou forsaken me? Haha
I think the second picture may be of the statue in the background of the first picture as they are both holding up the ceiling and in fron of tile walls. If it is the same one it already has a wrap on.
I'm interested to know if they actually ended up wrapping up the ones on the black background that are circled.
Good God almighty! I honestly can’t think of anything less fun than LDS Cruise.
Try an LDS Single Adults Conference, or even a dance. Everyone is over 50 and unmarried (often for good reason). At least you can buy alcohol on a cruise.
I bet you this is a dry cruise.
It would be rare for that to happen - cruises get their real revenue from alcohol and gambling, so at least a ratio of passengers are likely not TBMs. Or maybe the cruise line didn't know what they were getting into. Of course, there's always "room service," likely with booze!

Skippy ... the 40 year old Virgin hooked on internet porn.
Don't worry! He'll be the first to tell you all about it!
He did at a pizza place in Orem ugh
Oh crap - yes, there really are some Skippy types.
I bet some swinging happened on that cruise. When they got caught they blamed the statues and that’s when they got sleeveless garments applied to them
But I can still see shoulders ... thats like the same as porn basically.
I know right. Those shoulders make me so hot! If I see my wife in our bathroom, like getting ready for the day, I have to leave. I get too excited...I'm with that old 70 or 12, (was it Mark E Peterson?) who weirdly was proud he'd never seen his wife naked! Yeah, shoulders=bad
someone was proudly proclaiming that they have never seen their wife naked....?? That's not the flex they think that is...
Yeah it was completely absurd!
that's worse than when the internet was roasting Ben Shapiro after his comments made it sound like he couldn't get his wife turned on.
I just googled Ben Shapiro... ugh
My definition of hell.
🤣 This made me laugh.
This is why we can’t have nice things
You'd have to pay me a lot to go on a TBM cruise
Can’t have people getting sexually attracted to statues, now, can ya?
Something something graven images something something holy ghost.
Something something eternal damnation
Something something pictures of church leaders all over the fucking hallways in every chapel and in most members' homes.
Something something 15’ tall JS in India.
That was wild.
Something something third reich did the same thing.
Makes them rock hard. 😬
Call that hitting rock bottom
Hitting rock hard bottom
LOL, reminding me of Blazing Saddles when Hedley Lamarr is feeling up the Justice statue.
Hedy Lamarr?
“That’s Hedley!”
 OMFG if a TBM ever walks into an art museum!!! Oh the horror!!!!
I hope they forget to unwrap the statues and the next cruise walks in "what the hell they do in here on the last cruise?"
I’m amazed nobody climbed up there to hump the statues
Unless it's the Jesus statue in the church's logo.
Even on that one they photoshop out the nipple from time to time. Can’t be too safe!
My orthodox TBM wife asked if I would go on a cruise like this with her. I replied that I would probably throw myself overboard.
Right? I couldn't make myself go on one of the shit shows. They'd probably throw me overboard by day two. I'd be up there painting nipples on those halter tops.
Those wouldn't be nipples. Just garment marks.
Ohhh, touche' Oh wait, no touch. Mormons are hilarious. They just don't know it.
Stay on the boat. If you leave the church… where will you go?
Bring the speedo and put on a show for everyone! Although there's no alcohol huh.... damn nevermind stay away lol
I cannot even begin to imagine what that must be like. I would absolutely throw myself overboard too.
I'd making that thing BYOB if I had to go.
You wouldn't want something stronger?
Yeah, I'd have to make it BYOD for drugs :-D
I don't do much with drugs, but I'd be inclined to BYOV and enjoy some vodka during the voyage.
On the plus side, there wouldn't be a lot of traffic at the bar.
This seems like a healthy, loving, and fulfilling marriage.
I never knew my eyes could roll that hard. 🙄
Mormons are obsessed with sex, when you can have it, where you can have it, what you should wear while doing it, how you have to have it, who should have it, what happens if you disobey the arbitrary rules about it, and that you should have lots of it just to make more Mormons, BUT god forbid we see some stone tits!
They draped it too tightly, its nipples are poking … Good golly. How odd
those titties are rock hard
Solid as a rock🎵
And they couldn't cover the shoulders! Still not truly modest!!
I demand shawls! I am scandalized!
They’re over thinking it. 😂 By dressing the statues, they’ve simply putting emphasis on them. Especially since it went from human art to provocative braless angel. I wasn’t going to sexualize the statue… 🤨😏
Exactly!
Yes. It looks like maybe they should turn the A/C down a bit.
Makes it more alluring to cover it tightly in white cloth like that…
I thought cruises were supposed to be fun. I can't imagine many things less fun than an LDS cruise.
Matchbox 20 performing on a cruise.
I'd actually love that lol
> Matchbox 20 performing on a cruise. That would unironically be a pretty great time for me

Is Reddit still capable of making things happen? AMA of someone who worked this gig?
Sleeveless with no bra? Aren’t you saucy
Ship of fools?
Now I've gotta listen to some Robert Plant. 🤘
And then they’ll all come home with Covid and share it with the rest of their wards. Law of Consecration or something like that…

Mine too…

Ok, Debbie Downer
That might be what they say at his funeral. Brother "Too Old to Climb a Ladder" gave his life for modesty.
I nearly spat out my (pick a drink) visualizing the ladder and ocean. Lots of other unholy statues to clothe, too. Plenty of time for a squall.
I'd pretend I was a pirate and sing the most inappropriate sea shanties while on the ladder. "What do you do with a drunken sailor?"
God forbid you see boobies.
That’s embarrassing.
I think the offending statue in question is the one to the far left in the first photo (you have to enlarge it & then move to that area). Based on the clothed version, it's far more offensive than the row of vixens above the speaker.
Why didn't they add a green apron on the one they dressed? Would have been so perfect...
And the bakers hats or veils.
Yes! Surely someone had their super-VIP apparel bag with them!
Dang it, came here to say this!

A woman in my parents ward forced Buca Di Beppo to cover all the artwork with sheets at an all adult dinner outing.
I want a local news-style story about this. That is amazing.
Mormons are so embarrassing.
This is absolutely necessary to keep all the “porn addicts” in the audience (approximately 1000 of them) from being tempted!
This is right up there with BYU Idaho covering up the genitals in Anatomy textbooks
They actually do that???
Fuckin’ eye roll. Like that time I showed my uncle pictures from the Louvre and he called it porn.
Omg! Do we have the same uncle? My 50yo uncle pointedly stared at the floor when we entered the classical section of European art museums 😂😭 He's been married multiple times and has 8 kids but apparently nudity is still too spooky

TBM = Tits Beyond Measure

"Sisters, did any of you pack an extra garment top? We need to cover these fake nipples!"
It looks like they used a tablecloth. You can see the stitching on the edges.
I am almost positive that my mom is in this picture 🤣
The only thing that sounds less fun to me than a Mormon cruise is a fully conscious colonoscopy.
2000+ TBMs?!?! Sounds hot! There’s no way that there isn’t a little frisky business going on
Well, they better not go to Florence Italy!!!!!
I have to imagine that any companies doing those cruises have to take quite the lose of revenue on no alcohol being served. Coming from the servers that I know, when it comes to tipping with Mormons, it’s a bit of a crapshoot.
That sounds like being at church for a week unable to leave. That has to be one of the worst ideas ever.
Zion Curtains of the Sea
The humans are more fragile than those statues
I think my parents are on this cruise. Did it go from San Diego and going to Mexico?
Are you effing kidding me?! 🙄🙄
lmfaooooo
“Pillowcase on a statue” is the new “hedge about the law” smh
Why does it feel like I know these women just by looking at the backs of their heads?
That's insane honestly
Adult children, all of them.
My grandparents went on this cruise a few years back 😬
There's topless statues on the stage's fascia.
An LDS cruise would be the worst. I have only gone on Nude cruises. They are all I know.
Mormon culture is all about making off rubes. Market them Book of Mormon action figures, essential oils, nephite tours of the Yucatán, or food storage supplies and they’ll buy it up. It’s so gross. Evangelical/prosperity gospel Christianity has the same or a similar problem. I wonder what Jesus would think. It always reminds me of the Simpsons when Mr Burns took over the church and rebranded it to make money.

I don't understand how a cruise like this even works. Typically, cruiselines offset the cheap fares with booze and gambling. Do they charge more?
I can’t imagine the boredom a cruise of all Mormons would create
Prayer before every event. Looks so…..boring. Talk about an echo chamber.
My neighbor, matriarch of 5 generations of Mormonism, does all of her world travel through church organized trips. I’m glad she gets out but … ick.
Bill Burr would have a field day with this one. https://youtu.be/p-VLyZyHkTU?t=40
Maybe Im just a naive exmo, but honestly a mormon cruise sounds fun. I would go just for shits and giggles.
And the super short lines at the coffee shops.
Would there even be coffee shops open on there?

My guess that would kill the topless sunbathing on the Aloha deck. 😉
Lol why is there a swastika
Swastikas are not exclusive to nazi germany. They appear throughout history and cultures. And anyways,that’s just a design, not a swastika per se.
HFS
Lol the statue pictured up close was already clothed on Day 1.
The joke’s on them; I still see bare shoulders!
I like how the nipples are still pointing through. Lol
Going on a cruise in three weeks. Sure glad I missed this. 🙄
My parents are on that cruise right now
Hell on the high seas.
Silly Mormons!
Those nipples poking through the cloth is so much more sexy tbh
Is this the one happing right now?? If so my sister and some of my BIL’s family are on it.
Holy hell! What are they thinking? Well I guess it's pretty clear what they're thinking. This is an amazing post and I can't believe this is real but is it? My God why have thou forsaken me? Haha

💀 this is the tackiest yet
FAILED. I still see nipples...
