Tips for Hiding Ducks

While no formal rules exist, these tips help ensure fun for everyone.

• Hide ducks in public areas only, never in crew-only areas or on restricted equipment.
• No ducks should be hidden in retail stores to ensure that shoplifting is not an issue.
• Do not hide ducks where sanitation might be a concern. For example, restrooms or spas.
• Avoid hiding ducks where it could get windy. This is to keep in step with many cruise lines’ environmental policies if the duck were to be blown into the ocean water.
• Place the ducks in places that are safe for kids of all ages!

Tips for Finding Ducks

• Always keep your eyes open.
• Choose different routes when making your way around the ship. For example, choose different stairwells and elevators.
• Head out early to find more ducks.

When you find a duck, leave it up to your kids to decide what to do with it! They could keep it or hide it again for someone else! Also, taking pictures of all the ducks you find for a collection of memories from your cruise vacations is a fun idea.

From the deck to the dining area, the pool to the playroom, each discovery adds an element of surprise and adventure to the cruise experience, making it a memorable and joyful journey for the entire family.

Hiding Cruise Ducks can create wonderful memories and endless fun on your cruise vacation!

Happy Cruisin’!!
