In most cases, pineapple emblems and ornaments are just aesthetic tributes to the tropical fruit, indigenous to regions like West Africa and Latin America.
However, when it comes to adult cruises, the herbaceous perennial takes on a whole different meaning, as one seemingly innocent TikToker discovered.
A woman named Dominique (@blogionistatravels) had been using social media to document her first experience onboard a cruise ship.
In one of her videos, she remarked on how she had discovered some interesting decorations adorning various cabin doors.
On many of the doors, it appeared that various pineapple stickers had been tacked on.
In overlay text, Dominique wrote: “When you’re on your first cruise and you see that everyone has these little cute pineapples on their door.”
One TikTok user wrote: “The welcome one with the butterfly makes me think it’s a sweet old lady that thinks people just decorate with pineapples on cruises & want to decorate.”
A second user typed: “Still waiting on name of cruise… for a friend of course,” hinting at a deeper curiosity about the cruise’s nature.
However, the comments didn’t stop there. Someone else added: “Ooop don’t go in unless you want to mix things up if you know what I mean,” bringing the hidden meaning to light.
This humorous yet revealing comment underscored the unexpected interpretations of certain symbols.
Usually, these subtle motifs are placed upside down to act as a secret code for swinging, swinger parties, and wife-swapping.
Interestingly though, they’re not the only signs that swingers—a person who engages in group sex or the swap of sexual partners—use to identify each other.
If you’re not really into being discreet about your sexual preferences, there are actually dedicated adult-only swingers cruises you can book onto.
