It is "take only pictures, leave only footprints".

Thanks.

That seems more like littering to me. I've seen similar stunts where people were leaving these things in national parks or on beaches. No bueno.

Hold on. You think leaving a naturally formed piece of Earth - a rock- in a port is littering yet on the other thread, you’re vehemently supporting leaving plastic toys all over cruise ships?  

 

Hmmmm. I guess that’s because strange kids can’t be stalked with rocks like they can with those ducks.

No, it's the painted rocks that are the issue.  Leaving them in visible places where they do not naturally occur.

My grands have picked up small, flat rocks that they then painted...and leaved at our house.

Got it. I don’t like it either. But I was pointing out the hypocrisy of someone who says that’s bad but leaving plastic toys isn’t.

Well, I guess that's not me - I'm against both.😁

At least rocks are natural and when they break down it is not going to cause as much damage as deteriorating plastic. Hopefully people are using non toxic paints.

I think finding a happily painted rock would make me smile!

 

It would certainly NOT make me smile! I would be wondering who the idiot was who wanted to leave garish trash in a public place.

What is w this need to leave all sorts of stupid stuff scattered all over the ship for other people to find.  Surely people must have something more interesting to do with their time as opposed to spending it looking for rubber ducks or painted rocks..

I heartily agree! I can understand children being entertained/amused by this but adults??? Seriously??
