ldubs Posted December 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I don't know but the idea caught my attention because it sounds like a fun activity. I Googled "cruise ship scavenger hunt" and quite a few ideas popped up. Here is a partial list I copied for a "photo" scavenger hunt: Ideas for Photo Scavenger Hunt Pictures The ship's steering wheel. A ship team member with a chef hat on. Another cruise ship. Someone playing the piano. Decorations on a stateroom door. Fruit carved into an animal shape. Photo of an empty pool. Something that starts with a certain letter of the alphabet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted December 18, 2021 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2021 A matchbook with the cruise line logo; used to be easy to find. Now, I'd bet that might be a difficult item to locate on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysontime Posted December 18, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 18, 2021 How fun! We will be on the Star in June…our first Viking Ocean cruise…4 have been cancelled so hope this one goes. Do they do scavenger hunts on all the ships? Do you sign up ahead of sailing? Have fun on your cruise..Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsternight Posted December 19, 2021 #12 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I always carry some unusual foreign currency on board for such occasions. Never been asked by an adult, usually its a kid club thing, but would be happy to hand it over anyway. As a Canadian we have a $2 coin. Been waiting for a scavenger hunt to hand one over, but it comes with a story. The front of the coin or heads has the Queen of course. Tails or the back of the coin has polar bears. So you see, if you turn the coin over you can see the Queens bear backside. OK lame joke, good for a kid, and sorry your Magisty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But items with the ship logo is a good one --like an ink pen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun on your cruise..Pam Not something I've seen on Viking, there aren't many organised activities of this type. Guests generally organise things themselves for their travelling companions or people they've met on board. Door decorating and block parties don't happen, the vibe on board is floating hotel Edited December 21, 2021 by KBs mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first one would be difficult to get nowadays, unless the ship has a bridge viewing room, or they still offer "behind the scene's tour's", which rarely includes visits to the bridge nowadays....

Good point, and as far as I know modern cruise ships might not even have a wheel! I guess I could ask a ship officer to snap a pic for me. I could always offer to split the prize with her. 😀 Edited December 23, 2021 by ldubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob brown Posted December 24, 2021 #19 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Most modern ships use "joy sticks" when manually controlling the helm, although they also have a small wheel as a backup. And when controlling at sea, they simply input the heading into a computer, and let the autopilot set the course... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
