Does Celebrity do the cruise duck's too?

I thought geocaching was about finding something at a specific GPS location?  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.

What's been bothering me all day is... how do you "hide" a rubber duck?  Aren't they pretty obvious?  🤔

On a high shelf in the library Is a favorite site

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.

Oh dear, a ducking duck under my bed????  How does one get access to do this so I can be prepared for no ducky business

Dust first, and then slowly remove the duck; do not grab the bill under any circumstances.  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.

" Sorry, not sorry, hiding ducks and "awesome" does not compute for me.  Preparing for months in advance " 

I'm with ya , partner.

We've been on lots of cruises--- never saw a duck -- but, did notice many " Quackpots " .

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.

If you're on your knees next to your bed with your butt in the air and you happen to glance under the bed and see a duck, just smile.  Then continue with the reason why you were there to begin with. 😉

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.

It's not necessary to "find" ducks.  Just go to the pool.  That's where they will be.

Like the Peabody in Memphis, have them march in the Grand Foyer.

  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?

Absolutely. And they must be the proper sized duck bill style mask.

No, because they are fully quacksinated, not to mention they know how to duck the Covid stuff.

LOL.  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.

I am headed out Sunday June 1th on the Celebrity Summit and plan on hiding ducks! First time bringing ducks, looking forward to getting in on the action.

Someone was hiding ducks on the Eclipse this past April.  I enjoyed searching for them.

Ducks love to cruise!

Ducks?  Who the heck wants plastic ducks?  Why doesn't someone hide money?  😁

[Ipeeinthepools]

All of the ducks I find go into the pool with me.

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.
