        Do you sit at the bar and wear pineapple swim trunks? That’d probably help

          Spending a lot of time at the bar is the key. It also depends on what kind of cruise you’re on. If you’re on a family cruise the odds are way down.

          But the people who proposition you aren’t always going to be the people you’d want to have a threesome with.

            Pineapples specifically are the code for availability to swing. A pineapple print Hawaiian shirt would also work. If you see a house with a bunch of pineapple decor, they might be a swinger. Or they might just really like pineapples. Regardless, I personally can’t look at the ubiquitous summer pineapple decor for sale in stores the same way I did before I knew about swingers and pineapples.

              Sometimes it’s hard to tell if they like pineapples or swingers, but if you see an upside down pineapple, they’re swingers. Thats just usually not an option on clothing

        That’s partner swapping, or wife swapping in the mid 20th century, which is a subset of swinging. Plenty of swinging is bunches of people in a pile, or mingling and pairing. They’re supposed to be consent and boundary conscious, but are not always (especially when booze or drugs get involved) which is the primary source of sore feelings and getting uninvited to future events.

      Okay I read all the comments and none seem to explain enough about the subject. However all seems to indicate that upside down pineapple shorts may make it easier for a swinger to come invite us to have chocolate with them.

    Why am I imagining two 30-person polycules rumbling over one (or more) unethical hookup between them?

    Also: how does the legality of physical assault work in international waters? I would love to see Legal Eagle take this one on.

    60-person brawl […] 5 different floors

    Honestly, that’s kind of epic. It has the makings of a movie with this many people and locations. Maybe even a Knives Out sequel.

    I want a battle royale movie where the villian tricks a bunch of people onto a cruise boat and forces them to fight to the death. The finale can be one of the major winner contenders capsizing the boat to win the game

      She said the guests were “ignorant fools acting stupid” and praised the cruise ship’s security for how they handled the fight, saying the dispute could have been a lot worse.

      Heh

    I’d watch that movie. No forced battle royale, no video-game villain. Just a comedy that slowly goes completely off the rails for an escalating clusterfuck of fight sequences.

    Avoid viewer fatigue by repeatedly looping back to the inciting incident and how it spread through different portions of the ship. You’d get the first go with the central cast and a knock-down, drag-out, slapstick fight between a handful of dudes, until their dramatic showdown in the middle of the ballroom is interrupted by a completely different mob of people getting chased through, and a straight-up swordfight on the balconies, and someone falling onto the dancefloor from god-knows-where. Rewind to where the main guys crossed paths with a different tour group and set off a misunderstanding that escalates into throwing food and then shoes and then cutlery. When that debacle plows into the ballroom, rewind again, and follow another short film about things getting wildly out of hand.

    I’m picturing the Oldboy hallway scene, but with Zach Galifianakas wielding a pool noodle against fifty angry parents.
