Carnival Cruise Line has officially banned the display of upside-down pineapples on cabin doors, a symbol widely recognized as an invitation for swingers. The announcement was made by the company’s Brand Ambassador, John Heald, who confirmed that such decorations would be removed from ships to prevent misunderstandings.
The policy change comes after reports from passengers who received unwanted attention due to the symbols. Some even claimed the pineapples were placed on their doors without their consent, leading to awkward encounters with other guests.
While some social media users joked that swingers would simply adopt new symbols, others applauded the decision. Many welcomed the move as a way to maintain a more family-friendly atmosphere on cruises.
Carnival’s response highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to ensure comfort and respect for all guests. By addressing this issue, the cruise line aims to create a more inclusive and enjoyable experience for its diverse clientele.
