Carnival Cruise Line is hanging its passengers out to dry.
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.
Carnival Ambassador John Heald issued a statement that was shared by Facebook personality Jayson Judson reminding cruise-goers that hanging laundry out to try on the balcony is not allowed.

“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.
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.”

Photos from two ships have recently circulated showing clothes lines with items such as T-shirts and underwear across balconies hanging to dry.
In response to someone asking about the issue and if you can dry clothes on the balcony, Heald wrote on Facebook, “No, this is absolutely not allowed for very, very important safety reasons and I know that once the cabin attendants come to the cabin that morning they will be removed.”

On top of the safety concerns, drying clothes on the balcony isn’t even the best method.
According to GlobalEat, 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.
