Ducks!!!

I took that as a joke, suggesting people would deliberately ignore it, as seems to be happening now and again with 'service' dogs.

I see no issue unless you DUCK the issue and if they bother you do not look for them .

Madness and QUACKERS to do otherwise .

I don't give a Donald duck one way or the other.

This thread has given me a good laugh 😂. I can’t imagine getting so heated by rubber duckies

Why? How does it impact on your cruise? Can I ask for no football to be shown in public rooms?

We can but dream......

I never look for ducks on a cruise but on our last Arvia cruise on the first day I used the Thermal Suite and when I went to spin my swimming costume in the changing room dryer someone had left a little plastic duck in it. It brought a smile to my face and I now have it on the corner of my bath at home as a ‘cruise’ reminder.

 

That said I went on to find the dryer was out of order and it never was fixed during the 14 day cruise!

You quack me up Jean! You asked a similar question last year…

Seriously though, whatever floats your boat, ship or duck in this case! 
 

The last duck I’ve seen was on Iona in February, outside the Olive Grove, hanging from a wall decoration. Didn’t spot any on Sky Princess.

We had one left on our cabin number sign on Arvia. We left it there and it disappeared soon after.

I have to admit to being another who does not understand this American phenomenon of hiding/finding ducks on a cruise ship - especially an adult only ship.

 

But each to their own and if it enhances somebody's holiday then it can't be all bad!

My philosophy on life is, as long as it isn't hurting anyone people should do whatever makes them happy.

Same here, three of my favourite things are eating ducks and not using commas.

The kitten and ducklings video is one of the strangest things I have ever seen; enchanting but inexplicable.  Anyone know if this is really unusual? I have seen the occasional dog looking after kittens etc., but this seems really odd.

It is not unusual for baby birds to bond with the first person or animal they see even when not a parent.

Sorry I think it's really good natured fun. We found one and left it for others to take home. Plenty worse things can happen on a ship and this isn't one of them surely. 

It's a bit of fun.. unless you don't find one.🤣

It's bigger on RC. I found a plastic animal but the wouldn't let me take it home.

[Eddie99]

Talking of big, and back to one of our favourite topics … 😬

[lincslady]

Regarding the kitten - appearing to lead them to water was what struck me particularly, or am I being a bit dim?  It just looked as if the kitten knew what to do instinctively.

It's probably playing towards the British mentality i noticed on my first cruise if there's a competition as in this case find more than everyone else just as in the quizes no matter how srap the Prize is there Desperate to Win.

But cats and birds are not normally friendly.
