Then last cruise on the Moon, there was a woman doing crafts every morning on sea days, creating paper flowers, all sorts of colorful stuff, which found the way to a lot of doors. I thought it was very cool. Good point about the ducks! Lufthansa’s first class terminal also provides ducks in its shower/bath facility. I was thinking more about the door decorations. Have never seen that in upscale hotels, so wondered whether the people who feel that’s important to be able to find their cabin door do the same in hotels? Genuinely curious; I learned something new in this thread about the challenge of dyslexia. Edited May 20, 2023 by Dolcevita Diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtofZen Posted May 22, 2023 #52 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I thought it might be fun to hide a duck and see how far I could get it to travel. I'm going to Iceland. Someone takes my duck and hides it on a cruise to the Baltic, then someone takes it and hides it in Greece. It seems to be a be something that's common on big cruise ships and I'm sure there are so many of them going around that mine might be lost in the shuffle.

If I found a nasty little yellow plastic duck imposed on the ship it would go straight in the trash. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I am not a cruise person and only go on cruises because I have family members who are cruise people. In a perfect world, I would only cruise on smaller ships, but in a perfect world I could always afford smaller ships. I am only going on my upcoming Silversea cruise because someone else is paying for it as a birthday gift to me. Do I think a lot of the stuff they do on big ships is silly? Sure. But everyone can use a bit of silliness now and then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me as though you're a candidate for a new hobby ... geocaching. One of the several facets of the game are 'trackables' that are placed by their owners, and moved around the world by other players and tracked online. You might find some fun there. The primary objective, of course, is to find the hidden cache in which they are placed. www.geocaching.com Put in your home address and odds are you'll be surprised at what you find hidden not far from wherever it is that you live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted May 23, 2023 #70 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I confess to finding all these 'things to put on our suite door' rather tasteless, but I suppose I am a bit of a Puritan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothko1 Posted May 25, 2023 #75 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I sincerely hope that the people who put all that... stuff... on their doors take it all off. Rather than disembark and leave it to the poor ship crew to clean up after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
