Finding Ducks

[princessD]

I’m sure this has been asked before, but didn’t scroll through the other page’s.

Can someone tell me how this works? Sounds like fun.

Thanks

People buy plastic ducks and hide them on the ship for others to find and either keep or re-hide.  Most of the time there’s a tag with a note about where the duck started and a FB page or something etc.  Somw people like the idea and others hate it and throw them in the garbage immediately.

I found one on the symphony, but since I don't have a Facebook account I wasn't able to participate so I just re-hid it.

At least it doesn't come with a bill.

3. Post photo (if possible)

When they start hiding $100 bills, I’ll start looking…..

Too bad you have never seen the joy on the face of a 5 year old who has just found a duck in Central Park.

 

What's the problem with bringing a little bit of happiness to a kid?

We had a young girl, dressed for formal night, on our last cruise that went wild when someone pointed out a duck hidden in the elevator we were on.  She was super excited. Her mom commented that the girl had spent a lot of her cruise finding ducks all over the ship!

I think they are cute.  For kids.  The adults....Well that's a little different.  I equate it to adults who wear Mouse Ears at Disneyland.

Found one once that had $5 tucked in the card. GS got the duck and his piggy bank got the $5😇

for sure

We keep all the ducks, we find, until the end of the cruise. We then decide which 1 to take home then hide the rest. 

[hannibal54]

Just remember someone took the time and money to purchase the ducks, with cards. If you don't like them, leave it for somebody else who may instead of throwing them in the trash.

[Cruise5life]

I like to take mine till my next cruises.       Lolol.  
Then hide them on there. Lol. 

I have a some from the Wonder.  They Joy. And an MSC ship.   Lol.

So you start your morning by putting a towel on a chair next to the pool, then go look for ducks to throw away?

[Candleonwater]

Would it be wrong for me to take all the ducks I've collected - can't tell you the number of times I've been ducked as a Jeep Wrangler driver - and use them to hide on the ship?

 

I don't get the scrooges who throw the ducks out. They are cute little surprises. 

[HappyTexan44]

Universal Orlando has something similar.  The facebook page is something like "UOR Rocks."  People make little themed crafts, originally painted rocks, and hide them around.  

 

I was reading about it how the ducks started with one little girl not that long ago and took off.   The cruising friends we are travelling with really enjoy it.   The mom prepares the ducks and the teens hide them around.
