Magic cruisers, I need your help...

I am trying to put together a list of scavenger hunt items for my kids and need things that are Magic specific and where they are located (things like the ships compass, anchor, etc.). My thoughts are to give them each a list each day and they take photos of the items. First to find all the items on that days list gets something like $20 for the arcade. I know they will be busy doing other stuff but want to have this in my back pocket just in case they get bored.

This is a fantastic idea! We are headed on the Magic on 11/29 for the first time on this ship. If you don't mind, I'm totally going to use this for my kids. LOL.

There is a sign on deck 1 that says "This way to gang plank (the bridgey thing to land)"...it always made me smile when I saw it on our cruise. I also believe there is a ship's coin welded to a wall up near the Waterworks area..like just behind it on Deck 11 or 12. Ask when you're onboard..they'll be able to tell you. :D

The first time the ship sailed into a particular port. The plaques are on prominent display.

LOOOOOVE this! Following!:D

Ok. T minus 7 days till embarkation and I have compiled 44 items. I decided to place a bounty on each item. This way the kids can hunt together instead of giving each a list and making them "compete". I'm not against competition but I know my 13yo would take off and leave the 9yo to fend for herself. The easy items carry a small bounty (typically $1) while items like a selfie with the Captain have big rewards ($10). If it goes as planned, they'll have fun, earn some spending money, and have a lot of cool memory photos at the end of the trip.

Here is my list if any one is interested.

1. Ship on a Stick trophy 23. Polka dot bikini

2. Towel animal 24. Life boat capacity sign

3.Selfie w/Captain 25. Someone on Ropes Course

4. Carnival lanyard 26. Jelly beans

5. Drink umbrella 27. Someone in a Dallas Cowboys shirt

13. Pizza 35. Plaque/award wall

14. Ice cream cone 36. A chandelier

15. Fun Times brochure 37. A "Sign & Sail" kiosk

16. Shrimp 38. Circle C/Camp Carnival area

OMG! Love, Love, Love this idea. We're not sailing until August and I have 3 kids who will be 18 to 21. I see modifying this list to make the hints a little harder, and maybe a prize of $50 to the winner.

That's a great list!

One note, though, on your Wheel of Fortune slot machine - kids are not really allowed into the casino, plus there are signs that say no photographs. Unless they can get this one on embarkation day it could prove difficult, or they could get scolded while trying to get it.

That's a great list!

As a previous poster mentioned, have them find the "ship's coins". That can replace the slot machine.

How fun!!! I'm saving your list for our cruise in July!!

I have some photos that might assist your search for items and locations.

Sorry. Bumping this up just because I finally found it and need to get back to it one more time for notes. Not tech savvy before my coffee.

I think this is a great idea. Just wondering if anyone else had luck with their kids enjoying this activity. I will have 2 15 Yrs B, 1 13YRS B and 1 12YRS G

sailing with us.
