Daffydk1 Posted March 14, 2019 #51 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I found Viking themed ducks. I wonder if Viking Ocean will mind a few on a Med cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShillyShally Posted March 14, 2019 #52 Share Posted March 14, 2019 My son found one from Traverse City, MI on our Indy cruise last week 🙂 He's back at school so I need to ask if he re-hid it or kept it! It was fun for us as he has always loved ducks and his older sister works near Traverse City for the past 4 summers and will be there again this summer and we hope to take he and the oldest sister there to visit too. We're definitely planning on trying to bring some to hide on our next cruise! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEasyCC Posted April 18, 2019 #53 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Bought some Mardi Gras ducks for our cruise on the Panorama next year! From New Orleans with love! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridgemama Posted April 18, 2019 #54 Share Posted April 18, 2019 This could be a lot of fun, especially for kids, but could easily get out of hand if people start bringing too many (like the poster who said someone was bringing 50) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er345 Posted April 18, 2019 #55 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I love this idea! I think my kids will get into decorating a few to leave on Ovation. My son got us started leaving quarters all around public places, like airports, train stations, CVS, gas stations etc. When he was little he would ask me for some and then leave them around in McDonalds etc. I asked him why and he said that if people like finding a penny think about how excited they would be to find a quarter! So now I keep all my quarters handy to spread the love. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peeker28 Posted April 30, 2019 #56 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I recently found the Facebook site for this and will get 2 ducks for our Anthem cruise in June. Sounds fun!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser123! Posted April 30, 2019 #57 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We hid and found some on the NCL Escape in March. Planning on bringing another dozen with us to the Allure in July. It's a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted April 30, 2019 #58 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) On our April 6-18 GOTS cruise there were several ducks hidden. I did not find them, but someone I knew seemed to find several. She gave me one. I plan to hide it on our next cruise that leave from Quebec City. The duck she gave me was from someone in MD. So, I thought it would be good to take it somewhere much farther away. Here are a couple of pics. Each duck has a "passport." edit: I was told that if you rehide the duck that it is good to add your passport with city info. that way passengers can see how many times the duck has been hidden and where. I saw a pic on the internet that had 5 passports hanging from the duck. . . . talk about a migratory water fowl.

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted April 30, 2019 #59 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Lol- I joined that fb group about a month ago, and had to leave because I got sick of the drama! Lol... so much drama... politics, people whining about people not posting their ducks online, etc. it was funny at first, but then ceased to be fun...

Yes I was and still am a member. It’s no more drama than I see elsewhere on FB. I think it’s a cute idea and scroll past the nonsense. I wonder if the cruise lines will start “quacking down” if lots of people bring dozens of ducks per cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He graduates college Friday so ducks can be enjoyed by all ages! He'll also, at graduation, get to show it to the sister who will be back up near Traverse City next month! We're hoping to get back up to visit her this summer, so beautiful up there though trying to get there can be time and $$ intensive 🙂 I already have ideas for what types of ducks to hide, now just need to book the cruise to do it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lol, one of my son's best friends is at MSU, we saw all the MSUers on board and kept wanting to jokingly ask them all "do you know....?" for the best friend as we always joke we never see him here in Northern Virginia anymore 🙂 And my husband keeps telling me those beautiful lakes freeze in the winter when I get giddy eyed and want to buy a house there! 🙂 But when it's beautiful, man it trumps a lot! You're 43 degrees and rain isn't quite helping the sell 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrochetNCruisin Posted May 2, 2019 #68 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Will be bringing a few dozen in June (the week of the 9th) on the Harmony to hide! Hoping we find a few too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AFS1970 Posted May 3, 2019 #69 Share Posted May 3, 2019 DW is planning on starting this when we take our next cruise. I will be her enabler, as she enables me when I do WheresGerorge. I am not sure about bringing a few dozen, I can't see more than a couple a day maybe as many as 21 for a 7 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShazM Posted May 3, 2019 #70 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I found two on our Sth Pacific trip in March on Explorer. One was decorated by a little boy from Melbourne and the other started it's journey in Sydney. They have been to Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia and had their photos taken all around the ship. I brought them home with me and we will take them next year on Radiance for the transpacific in April, so they will also get to visit New Zealand, Moorea, Bora Bora and Papeete before arriving in Honolulu. I will hide them on that ship and hopefully whoever finds them will take them on to Vancouver and Alaska and onwards from there. Going to be two very well travelled ducks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted May 26, 2019 #75 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) I’m not on that other site where the cruising ducks make their home, but I’ve seen them mentioned here. Therefore, when I found this little cutie on Symphony April 27th Cruise, I knew what it was. Back in our stateroom, the duck made a new friend! Since I found the duck late on the last day of our cruise, it came home with me for now, and is vacationing in Central Florida. It may very well go back to sea on our next cruise, and if so, will have updated passport information. Meanwhile, maybe someone here will recognize the duck, the yellow one, not the towel one!
