Speedos at Hotels/Resorts/on Cruse ships: Do you cover up?

[josty]

How exactly is it a courtesy? Do you expect women to wear shirts over their bikini tops?

At some places, yes! A more valid comparison would be a woman's bikini bottom, not top.

I might be getting offtopic here, but don't some hotels/beaches (Non-USA) require that you wear speedo-type swimwear? If that's the case, then it might be against the rules to cover up.
