cruise ship scavenger hunt list for kids

Hi. I will be traveling with 3 kids (14, 13 & 9) and thought that it might be fun to have a cruise ship scavenger hunt. I have tried googling this and have found sites to pay for a list, but I was wondering if anyone has done one before and has a quick list they did and can post. I am leaving Saturday and going on the Explorer of the Seas, so this is a last minute idea. I can probably make my own, but figured why reinvent the wheel if someone has already done the work.:)

Or just give me good ideas of things that the kids should look for, take pictures of or find to keep.

Thanks!!

Someone posted some ideas here...

I've seen it done where it is take pictures of various items...so there is another twist.

I've seen these as part of the list before

Picture with Captain

Picture with Cruise Director

Picture of Cruise Director (you don't have to be in it)

Some other things...

name of the Godmother of the ship

List of all ships sailing the RCI flag, better in order of deployment or in order of size based on GRT

Have a good trip!

I saw this on a website that showed activities for the kids. The cruise has a scavenger hunt activity.

THANKS!!!! I can use these and just tweek it for our kids! I figured it would give them something "else" to do and reasons to take pictures of different parts of the ship!

On the Liberty we went to watch a Flip scavenger hunt. Was a lot of fun watching the result even though we didn't participate. They gave you a Flip camera and gave you a few scenes you have to play out and return. Points were given for completing a task as well as creativity. Look for scavenger hunts in the compass. We did a picture one a few cruises ago and had an amazing time. We have also done one where you had to bring back the items and had a great time as well. Nice way to spend time as a family.
