A TikToker documenting her first trip on a cruise has alighted social media with her discovery<\/h2>\n

People have warned a vacationer to \u2018keep walking\u2019 after they spotted \u2018cute little pineapples\u2019 stuck on cruise ship doors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In most cases, pineapple emblems and ornaments are just\u00a0aesthetic tributes<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0tropical fruit<\/a>, indigenous to territories such as West Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n

In a pop culture setting, you may land on\u00a0Nickelodeon<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Spongebob SquarePants,<\/em>\u00a0whose titular cartoon character famously lived in a pineapple under the sea.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to adult\u00a0cruises<\/a>? Well, the herbaceous perennial takes on a whole different meaning as one seemingly innocent\u00a0TikToker<\/a> found out.<\/p>\n

A woman named Dominique (@blogionistatravels<\/a>) had been using\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to document her first experience onboard a cruise ship.<\/p>\n

In one of the videos, she remarked how she\u2019d discovered some interesting decorations adorning various cabin doors.<\/p>\n

In the 15-second clip – which has amassed 21 million views since it was posted in September 2022 – the\u00a0travel blogger<\/a>\u00a0panned down a living quarters corridor.<\/p>\n

On the doors, it appeared various pineapple stickers had been tacked on.<\/p>\n

In overlay text, the woman wrote: \u201cWhen you\u2019re on your first cruise and you see that everyone has these little cute pineapples on their door.\u201d<\/p>\n

After watching the video, viewers have taken to the comments to have their say on the pineapple stickers.<\/p>\n

One TikTok user wrote: \u201cThe welcome one with the butterfly makes me think it’s a sweet old lady that thinks ppl just decorate with pineapples on cruises & want to decorate.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second typed: \u201cStill waiting on name of cruise\u2026 for a friend of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: “It could just be the cruise put them there. It\u2019s the international hospitality symbol.”<\/p>\n

Someone else commented: \u201cOoop don\u2019t go in unless you want to mix things up if you know what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

One viewer shared: \u201cI remember the time I decorated our tent site in pineapples and learned at 2am what message I was sending. Mortified! I stick to watermelons now!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby just keep walking,\u201d recommended another.<\/p>\n

According to<\/a>\u00a0Cruisehive, pineapples are commonly employed symbols to signify individuals are interested in swinging.<\/p>\n

Usually, these\u00a0subtle motifs<\/a>\u00a0are placed upside down to act as a secret code for swinging, swinger parties and wife-swapping.<\/p>\n
