Since the ship is moving doesn't that become useless? Or do you report "I found duck #1 at the buffet on ship ABC"? I guess, as you say, it's the "cache name" that is important? Yes, you are absolutely correct. No way to hide an actual geocache aboard a cruise ship for a couple of reasons related to the rules for that. Was only noting that the ducks are easily hidden in both 'games', and that I'd seen an entire LAND based series using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be anywhere; many times cruisers have found them in their cabins, under the bed! I wonder what restrictions the CDC(Celebrating Ducks while Cruising)would say about where they can and cannot be placed.

Take into your shower and rub gently with soap and water. Place in an undisclosed area onboard the ship. That's all there is to it! It is always good to take a photo in case someone does not believe your story. Edited December 31, 2021 by Lastdance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D C Posted December 31, 2021 #82 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I reckon that 'hiding' one on the veranda of a Sunset Veranda room would kind of be like playing 'Plinko' if the duck started at the Sunset Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then continue with the reason why you were there to begin with. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owensjro Posted December 31, 2021 #84 Share Posted December 31, 2021 My wife and daughter did some duck hiding on our Silhouette cruise a few weeks ago. My daughter is in art school and had a lot of fun hand painting ducks. I'm not really into it, but it was entertaining to see our ducks moved around the ship after we placed them. In one instance a crew member found one and we overheard them excitedly talking to another crew member about how they loved the duck and were going to keep it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks or whales? j/k Does anyone know if the ducks are required to wear masks if you take them off the ship to the terminal?

No, because they are fully quacksinated, not to mention they know how to duck the Covid stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to sing that to DGS when he was little, and having his bath. There was a rubber ducky always there, just for him. This Christmas he came to me, a bit upset, that rubber ducky wasn't there. I quickly found it for him. He's 10. Edited January 1, 2022 by mom says 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shipshape sam Posted June 5, 2023 #98 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Found my first duck in March on our first full day of cruise (not embarkation day). It was loosely hidden partially behind a vase in an elevator bank. I picked it up and looked around thinking the person putting it there was watching to see what (whoever) found it did with it. did not see anyone. I kept it and have shown it to my granddaughter and if all goes well will buy some and put them out on our family cruise. We will put them is a larger space where we can watch and not be obvious.
