While the right-side-up pineapple stands for hospitality and welcome, when flipped on its head, it has been said to be a subtle nod to a lifestyle not commonly spoken about in the open: swinging. The swinger lifestyle is practiced by couples who, consensually, engage in recreational sexual activities with other couples or individuals. Now after saying that in my many many years of wandering about I have only seen an upside down pineapple displayed 5 times in my life. Once in a restaurant, twice in a campground, once on a car decal and one time on the door of a hotel room. I don't take cruises but I have heard that they became so common on Cruise ships that some of the Cruise Lines have banned them.
