On a cruise ship, the secret symbol of an upside-down pineapple is regularly used as a code for swinging or “wife-swapping”. In most cases, an illustrated and upside-down pineapple is fixed to the cabin door of a guest interested in swinging and partner swapping.
The short answer is yes, yes, it would, but the larger question is; is it even possible? You could probably survive on quality whole grain bread...

Read More »Have you ever seen an upside-down pineapple and wondered what it means? If so, you are not alone. While you may assume an upside-down pineapple is simply a funny little bit of décor or just a mistake, it is a secret symbol used to indicate something very specific. If you are unsure what it means and want to get to the bottom of its hidden meaning, you have come to the right place! On a cruise ship, the secret symbol of an upside-down pineapple is regularly used as a code for swinging or “wife-swapping”. In most cases, an illustrated and upside-down pineapple is fixed to the cabin door of a guest interested in swinging and partner swapping. Attaching an upside-down pineapple to the cabin door is the most obvious way people advertise their openness to swinging, but some cruise and resort guests use the upside-down pineapple symbol more subtly. Instead of attaching an upside-down pineapple to their cabin door, they might wear an upside-down pineapple pin or simply wear a Hawaiian shirt with a pineapple print. Essentially, there is a chance that any cruise guest with an obvious upside-down pineapple anywhere on them is probably using it to advertise their openness to trading sexual partners. You may even notice some partners have matching upside-down pineapple tattoos, which is about as obvious of an advertisement as you could ever expect to see. While the exact origin of the upside-down pineapple symbol is unclear, it has been used for many decades across a wide range of vacation destinations, not just on cruise ships. Pineapple decor is common on cruise ships, as they are associated with the tropics and a fun lifestyle. Given that swingers needed a way to secretly identify themselves to other swingers while in public and on vacation, it only makes sense that they chose a pineapple as the unofficial symbol. An upside-down pineapple motif is subtle enough that it would not offend anyone who did not know what it meant, but to those in the know, it is an announcement of one’s intentions and sexual preferences. While the upside-down illustrated pineapple motif on the cabin door is the most common way to identify a swinger on a cruise ship, the pineapple is also used on land. On land-based resorts, you may even notice real pineapples placed outside of a room.

Read More »While you may notice the upside-down pineapple on any cruise ship, there are now cruises tailored towards swinging and other types of “adult fun”. With the rising popularity of these cruise vacations, the need for placing an upside-down pineapple on one’s door has become less important. Simply put, adults can now choose cruise vacations where they do not need to be so subtle. With that said, do not be surprised if you see the odd reference to an upside-down pineapple, such as a pin, badge, or tattoo, as it still has its place in cruise culture. If this is something you want to avoid, you should not have to worry if you book a family-friendly cruise rather than one that is adults only. The swinging community prefers adults-only cruises to those where children are present. Swingers have certainly used clothing with pineapples to identify each other, but many people wear pineapple prints and don’t realize its association with the swinging community. With that said, a shirt, hat, bikini, or pair of swim trunks printed with one or more upside-down pineapples is usually a fairly strong sign that someone is involved in the swinging community.
