Pine Bluff Posted September 30, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Its nothing more than anything from hiding booze down to hiding a letter for someone who is cruising after you. It takes manuevering through your pervious or post roll call to look for assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snedecor Posted September 30, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Surrender the booty is a game played between cruisers on subsequent voyages on a cruise ship. The cruisers on the first voyage (the surrenderers of the "booty") take a trinket, something cute, non-food, non-perishable, etc. and hide it somewhere on the ship. They take care not to violate any of the ship's rules, don't put it inside safety boxes, etc. Somewhere that's not obvious, so that non-players won't run across it by accident, but that with a few clues, someone could find it. They then work out a way to give a set of clues (usually 3-4, in increasing specificity) to the "searcher", coming on board the vessel on a later cruise. Could be via text message, could be by phone call if the next person is on the very next sailing. It could be by letter or email if the next person is sailing on a more distant sailing. That person, when they get on board, opens the first clue and starts the "booty hunt". If they can't find it with the first clue, they open the second, then the third, etc. until the "booty" is found! They then reply to the original people who hid the "booty" Sort of like geocaching on a cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kybluecruiser Posted October 1, 2013 #11 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I was going to say it was a game Jen Baxter plays. You know how lovely she is and how she loves to shake your booty lol Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
