Rare PTC DAWG Posted July 25 #26 Share Posted July 25 I see them lined up across the dashboards of Jeep Wranglers where I live. As far as waste, I would think the ducks are very minimal compared to the rest of the waste the ship generates.. Taking one home to my Grandson sounds like a good idea if I see one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either smile and walk on by, or if it is early in the cruise, I might take the duck, keep it for a day, then re-hide it so someone else finds it. I have never brought a duck on-board, I just recirculate any duck I find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One said she sends them to the kids in her family back home. A spokes man for one line (carnival I believe) actually asked on his forum if passengers were okay with crew taking the ducks for their family and friends since they like them so much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct - ducking jeeps is a thing too. You could easily reuse a cruise duck for this - any open jeep is a prime target. They actually sell specialized duck mounts for jeep dashes. They display them proudly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are probably some who do, I suspect that there is a lot of "I'll say I love them so I don't get a complaint about me" going on there. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted July 25 #33 Share Posted July 25 2 hours ago, TGfromTX said: Don’t bring them home for disposal until you offer to crew members onboard. It’s really an experience to behold. They probably get just as excited as when someone gives them a fridge magnet or left over Halloween candy instead of a tip. And I'm sure they are going to spend several times the worth of that plastic duck to mail it home to their kids. My bet is that housekeeping has put a bounty on those little dust collecters, and the crew are happy to turn them in for cash or credit in the crew store 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovecruzin Posted July 25 #35 Share Posted July 25 Hiding ducks wasn't much of a Celebrity thing until a year or so ago. I usually join another social media group for our cruise in addition to the CC roll call and get so annoyed when, once the cruise starts a few people constantly post duck pictures. They are cure to see but I just don't get it 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmersruca Posted July 26 #39 Share Posted July 26 We found a duck last year on Celebrity Summit, I was really excited! I didn't realize it was a thing until then. It's at home with all my travel stuff, maybe I'll re-hide it next month when I'm on the Reflection. 🦆🦆🦆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkite Posted July 26 #42 Share Posted July 26 Yes, the ducks are showing up more and more on Celebrity ships these days. Found one on our last Beyond cruise & moved it to a new hiding place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw all sorts of trash by the roadside, but not one rubber ducky. I feel like there are bigger contributors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted July 26 #45 Share Posted July 26 Instead of ducks, how about hiding plastic colored Easter eggs onboard? Inside, there could be candy, coins or words of inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miched Posted July 27 #50 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Worried about pollution from the ducks. They run a lot of rubber duck races for fund raisers. There are many cities in MI that have one I don’t think many escape as they are contained in floating booms. Here is one in the Chicago River. Over 75,000 ducks. Here is one in Tampa Edited July 27 by miched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
