nosapphire Posted July 4 #83 Share Posted July 4 Husband has just pointed out to me that it is actually a safety device. If the ship suddenly sinks, searchers can pinpoint the location by looking for floating ducks. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausPud Posted July 4 #84 Share Posted July 4 And if you squeeze said ducks, the sound will attract attention for your recovery. Much louder than a lifejacket whistle. Safety comes first, always carry a duck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a minority on FB that's for sure. Lots of people think it's pathetic on Adult Only ships. fine for kids.

I would put them in accessible places, like the railing in the elevator, in a planter, by a slot machine, or the seat of a chair. Nowhere that would upset the crew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's fun seeing the joy on adults faces on discovering the duck ,that was hidden under the potato and green beans. Those P&O chefs tend to keep the portions a little on the small side .😉🙃 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
