kittysoul Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 What is the deal with the hiding little duckies around on the ship? I am assuming that this is similar to the painted rock hiding craze that hit my community last summer (where people paint stones and leave them in the parks and all around the community for others to find ..just for fun...??)

Curt From Canada Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I know exactly where one is on Grandeur. I was asked to hide it somewhere that was impossible to find. I plan to pick it up when I return to Grandeur in November. Curt from Canada kittysoul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyJenny Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 My Sisters are going to do this and put a little sticker for our group on it. They are so excited. I'm like, "Okay." I'll hide a duck if they ask me. But.... ? Better are my Sneaky Cards. You know I'll be bringing some of those along! When you buy a deck, you can create an account and track any cards you give out as they each have a unique number on the bottom. There is one that if found the person has to take it and hide it somewhere else (so it's kind of like the ducks, I suppose). I take these to conferences and when I travel. They are also fun to do with kids as some of them are acts of kindness and others are just silly fun (like leaving one at a monument you visit, etc) Skid, ANGELA ROMAN, SpeedNoodles and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny260 Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Yes, I took Ducks for the first time on the July 4th Anthem group cruise to hide, it was a way to put a smile on some little ones faces or maybe even made an adult smile if they found one. I did sort of make sure that some of my ducks found their way to some of the kids in our group lol but it was fun and made them happy. I’m not sure I’ll do it on every cruise but glad I took them on this one Mrs Tiny260 ANGELA ROMAN and kittysoul 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 I've never heard of hiding ducks. I'm waaay out of the loop on this one. Anyone have a picture ? Are they all the same or will any duck do ? Duck do...duck do....duck do kittysoul and PRebecca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt From Canada Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Mine was "given" to me by the Diamond Lounge Concierge on Grandeur in May. It is supposed to be "re-hidden" each time the "Duckie" is found. Please do not look for it on Grandeur ... I plan to retrieve "mine" when I get back on Lady G in Nov.

GregD Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 There is a Facebook group called “cruising ducks-original group” that you can join and it’s all about the cruising ducks trend. Some people go all out on these things. People create little passports etc that they attach to them, there are guidelines on where to hide them etc. it looks like it could be fun. kittysoul, tiny260 and ANGELA ROMAN 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTryThisPlace Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 This is a cool idea. But I have to ask, what happens when the staff find them while cleaning? I would be interested in leaving some on our next cruise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsTryThisPlace Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 That's good to know, hopefully I can do a few of these when I go on our next cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBoundMama Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Someone posted on the Cruising Ducks fb page, that she encountered a staff member who likes to play and gets excited to find them. The staff member is collecting them for themselves and had found six over time originating from all different states. I think that is sweet....it gives them a little happiness too. I have 12 scurvy pirate ducks that will be sailing with us on Navigator & Allure next month. My lil guy is excited to hide ours and look for some himself.

IslandBoundMama Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 This just gave me a chuckle...could you imagine all of the rubber ducks suddenly showing up on the xray machines at the airports, etc.? LetsTryThisPlace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
