Cruise passenger fumes after learning raunchy reason women were flirting with him
A cruise passenger was steaming mad after he realized the shocking reason why strangers were paying so much attention to him on board, detailing the reveal in a TikTok video with over 19 million views
In the viral clip, filmed from his female partner's point of view, content creator Ricky Bobby is seen lounging on the deck of a Carnival Cruise ship with his paramour as fellow passengers ogle, interact with and even touch him.
'They would whisper things under their breath,' she described in the caption. 'And even sometimes flirt with us.'
At one point, a woman in a blue swimsuit even grabs him by the hand.
Then, all of a sudden, it dawned on the couple why Bobby was so popular on board.
'We heard them say 'look at his pineapple shirt,'' exclaimed his partner as the camera pans to him donning a shirt that's emblazoned with the tropical fruit.
While the symbol may seem innocuous or festive, it's also a sign that people are up for swinging, defined by engaging in group sex or swapping sexual partners.
This pastime is particularly popular aboard cruise ships, where randy travelers have been known to pin pictures of upside-down pineapples to cabin doors to let fellow pleasure boaters know they're in the mood for a salacious switcheroo on the high seas.
Bobby was reportedly 'p–sed' over his accidental SOS (sex on ship) signal, per the clip, which ends with the embarrassed content creator sitting on the deck chair without his pineapple-riddled attire.
However, commenters found it hilarious that he inadvertently let his 'freaky' flag fly.
'Just looked up what upside down pineapple means. Howling,' said one bemused commenter, while another wrote, 'Blue swimsuit was trying to get chosen.'
In fact, Bobby claimed that the latter woman even reached out to him on TikTok following the incident, writing, 'HEY GUYS!! BLUE SWIMSUIT GURL FOUND ME ON TIKTOK.'
Others shared similar moments of sending mixed signals via pineapple-themed couture.
'I made the same mistake, I got called out by the comedian on the cruise ship during his show,' said one embarrassed commenter. 'The rest of the cruise I was called Mr. pineapple shirt. I had no idea…most def threw it in the trash.'
'Me and my ex didn't know and had matching pineapple shirts on a cruise — we were like people are so nice and keep talking to us.'

Is Gleb Savchenko on ‘Dancing With the Stars' Season 34?
It turns out Gleb Savchenko may not make his way back to the dance floor for Dancing With the Stars season 34. The pro dancer broke the bad news in a recent TikTok, where he lip syncs over a sound saying, 'I don't know where you got your information from, I don't know who your source is, but I will be the first one to tell you that is incorrect.' 'Your 'source' needs a refund… because that story? 100% fake,' he wrote in his caption. And then, in response to a fan who commented, 'Can't wait to see you on my TV again in September!' Gleb replied, 'Afraid you won't.' Gleb's post comes after the trailer for his ex-girlfriend Brooks Nadar's upcoming reality series, Love Thy Nader, dropped on August 11. The show focuses on the model and her sisters as they make the move from their humble hometown in Louisiana to pursue their dreams in NYC. In the trailer, Brooks recounts her connection with her ex, saying, 'Gleb and I met through Dancing with the Stars. In our family, we say, 'You don't date one Nader sister, you date all of us.'' The model then doubled down on allegations that he cheated on her, adding, 'He's a cheater and I have all that proof.' Gleb's voice can also be heard in the trailer, adding, 'Just sad how people spread lies and rumors to promote their new reality show.' ICYMI, the pro dancer first joined the cast for season 16 in 2013 and went on to compete in seasons 23 through 33, when he was partnered with Sports Illustrated model, Brooks Nader. The pair sparked romance rumors thanks to their on-stage chemistry last season, but their relationship was pretty much confirmed when fan-captured footage caught them kissing backstage in September. From there, the pair ended up in an on-again, off-again relationship that lasted until April 2025. According to People, they split up for good because Brooks suspected that the pro dancer had cheated on her. As for the next season of DWTS, we have yet to see the full cast of stars competing for the famous mirrorball trophy. A few celebs who have confirmed their involvement include social media star and podcaster Alix Earle, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, and the son of wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin, Robert Irwin.
