Random acts of kindness

[RARcruise]

My daughter found a card with $1 in the store the other day. It was a random act of kindness in this little boy's memory. She started researching about it and now wants to get these cards in as many places as possible. Since I am going on a cruise we decided that Florida, the ship, and each port would be a great idea.

 

I will put some money and the card on the vending machine at the hotel in Florida but would love to hear some ideas about things that I could do on the ship (Freedom of the Seas) and while in the ports. We are going to Coco Cay, St Marteen, and St Thomas.

 

Thanks for your ideas!

I love paying it forward. What a great idea to do it via cards.

Have fun spreading good cheer.

Hi,

 

What goes around comes around.

 

Good luck.

We follow an up & coming country band. Last year we left their promo CDs in every port & shops also in the bars, etc on the ship. You could do the same. The band actually got some bookings in Jamaica.

You could put one near the cupcake shop or coffee place to cover the cost of a tasty treat.

I have decided the cupcake is a definite.

In the the ports, St Marteen and St Thomas, you could visit a cyber cafe or a coffee shop of sorts.

I like that idea. :)

In Coco Cay we have decided to get together a few small beach toys and hand it to a child's parent. We thought about just leaving it to be found but I wouldn't ever allow my kids to just go pick up toys because I would think they belonged to someone else and we don't want to just hand something to a child because we will be strangers.

I knew someone who once got a dozen cute little animals -- just little plastic ones, have no idea what -- and left them in random places around a resort with a little note. She was doing it with her son, and the note said something like "Be my friend! Please take me with you for the day, take lots of pictures, but leave me at the end for others to find! [This is my home and I don't want to leave my family.]"

 

They were surprised at how many people found them and spent the day taking their buddy on vacation, but brought them back to share with others. (Of course some never made it back, but ironically those were usually taken by adults!) They never shared that they were the ones who left them, and had a blast watching other people through the week. Always thought that was a cool idea...

So cool! A cool twist on this would be to create a FB page or an Instagram account for the animals and have the people post their pics to the page!
