Carnival scolds cruise passengers for this prohibited balcony activity — and it’s not sex: ‘It simply looks bad’

Nauti activities like smoking and having sex are openly disapproved of — but a representative for the cruise line is reminding guests that a more mundane act is also strictly prohibited.

reminding cruise-goers that hanging laundry out to try on the balcony is not allowed.

The warning is echoed on Carnival’s website, which states, “For safety concerns, clothing and towels should not be hung to dry on your balcony.” Getty Images

“Carnival Cruise Line has issued a warning to passengers that hanging a clothesline to dry your clothes isn’t permitted on your balcony as two pictures were sent to John Heald, the brand ambassador for Carnival Cruise Line,” Judson narrated over the video.

“John said that cabin attendants will remove them due to environmental concerns and that it simply looks bad.”

He added that Carnival does provide self-serve washers and dryers for passengers to use, and there are places inside the cabin to hang dry clothes as well.

, salty sea air can ultimately damage fabrics, causing them to wear out faster. The wind can also mess your clothes up and knock them off the clothesline.

Plus, hanging clotheslines on balconies ruins the luxurious look of a cruise ship.

“Imagine a ship full of laundry flapping on balconies,” GlobalEat points out.

People in the comments on Judson’s video chimed into the conversation of on-board laundry etiquette.

“A clothesline looks tacky. An item or 2 on the back of a chair is alright if attached securely,” one wrote.

“Hang your clothes INSIDE YOUR CABIN,” another yelled.

“Horrible! Honestly I just don’t understand people’s thinking,” someone commented.
