What Do Pink Flamingos Mean? [A Secret Symbol]
Have you ever come across some cute flamingo decor on a cruise? And you want to know about their double-entendre meaning?
Well, the symbol of flamingos is quite common among the swinging communities, and it shows that someone is interested in group adult activities. But it doesn’t mean that everyone on a cruise with flamingo t-shirts has the same sexual intentions.
I was also unaware of this dual interpretation of flamingos and considered them a sign of fun, tropical vibes, and Caribbean things. But in the past few years, I have met many people with skeptical perspectives about flamingos. I’m not a swinger at all.
LOL! How can one correlate these cute flamingos with the swinging activities? But on a cruise, you’ll witness many such out-of-the-ordinary things.
It’s better for you to know more about what pink flamingos mean sexually on a cruise so you can stay away from such groups. Or if you’re one, then how to find people with such a lifestyle?
What Is The Truth Behind The Pink Flamingos?
Pink flamingos are a sign of elegance and tropical vibes. For a few folks, it has no meaning. The minorities use the flamingo symbol as a swinging interpretation and for adult activities, showing their consent to swap their wife.
You might have seen this symbol in many RV parks, yards, and campsites; people with the swinging mindset always use the flamingo symbol to attract other like-minded people. But such people are minorities; mostly, people see the flamingos as cute birds with tall legs.

What Does Flamingos Mean On A Cruise Ship?
Flamingos have multiple meanings, but few people on a cruise ship use this symbol for swinging purposes.
A pink flamingo symbol is a clean hint of adult activities if you’re sailing with an adult-friendly cruise. I have also seen many people wearing t-shirts with flamingos and upside-down pineapples, and these symbols together are a clear-cut identity of swingers.
People with a swinging school of thought always use pink flamingos and upside-down pineapples as their favorite cruise door decor. I’m sure you have seen many cruise ship doors with these stained symbols.
However, contrary to that, people love flamingos as they give more summer and tropical vibes and show sea fun. Still, if you’re wearing such outfits, you must face the compliments of a swinger.
Few cruise lines are against such adjustable stickers and won’t let guests showcase pink flamingos and pineapples on their cruise doors. But few free-style cruises like Norwegian Cruise Line and other swinger cruises, including desire cruises and bliss cruises, let you do such sexual activities.

Connection Between The Flamingos And Swinging?
I know people like me– non-swingers always think about the connection between flamingos and swinging school of thought.
There is no connection between cute, innocent, gorgeous flamingos and swinging. Even this symbol looks more sophisticated and radiant with tropical vibes.
But in the late 19s, people often hung pink flamingos in swinging clubs, bars, parties, and adjustment areas. People have captured the idea from that era and used it on cruises to find the same lifestyle.
I won’t force you to always judge people wearing flamingo t-shirts based on such adjusted connotations. Some people even wear these t-shirts on Caribbean Islands like Aruba– a hub of these birds.

What Does The Flamingo Mean On Social Media?
I have encountered many Instagram accounts with flamingo emojis; even this emoji is hidden in your phone’s keypad. But still, you can’t directly blame someone; this ambiguous interpretation has so many other meanings.
If someone is sending you a flamingo emoji, it could mean that he/she loves tropical vibes or is showing love and affection for you– as pink is the color of love.
Besides sexuality, there are so many meanings for pink flamingos, besides the fact that few individuals are using them to capture the attention of other swingers.
Is It Okay to Wear a Pink Flamingo T-Shirt?

Now you know the meaning of pink flamingos and how people related this symbol with swinging lifestyle, but such communities are minorities.
If you’re on a family cruise, very few people know the facts behind these pink flamingos, so you can wear such a t-shirt without any hassle. But again, some minorities are always looking for adult fun everywhere, so it’s better to avoid such t-shirts on a cruise.
Similarly, the t-shirts with upside down pineapple is a famous swinging symbol, so you must avoid wearing these shirts unless you’re a fan of these adult group activities.
Other Cruise Door Decor With Subtle Meaning
Just like flamingos, there are some other cruise decor that have subtle meanings, and people give many strange connotations to them.
Black Ring
Oh! This one happened to me on a Caribbean cruise. I wore my favorite black ring on my right hand, and someone was gearing up to pop the question. Wearing a black ring on the right hand is another subtle sign of a swinger.
But just like flamingos, this is not so famous; only a few swingers know about it.
Thumb Rings
For some swingers, wearing a thumb ring on your right-hand shows your interest in adjusting activities. Similarly, wearing a toe ring on your right foot indicates that you belong to a singer community. But again, all these confusing symbols are not universal, so don’t hesitate to go with your style.

What Does Pink Flamingos Means In RV Parks
The Flamingo symbol is also popular in RV parks and has many meanings. But most of the time, they are meaning-less to people or used as decorative planters.
Again, some swinger knows about the connotation of flamingos, but it’s not so popular. People only use them for lawn decoration, birthday parties, and fun.
So, when you spot any RV with flamingos, don’t assume the deeper meaning without context. It might be a whimsical choice for personal flair or a celebration rather than a signal of any specific lifestyle.
