Creator's Key Takeaways

back in 2018 a mother and her son went on a Carnival Cruise and they took with them rubber ducks to hide around the ship to create a scavenger hunt and boy did that kick off a trend

nowadays when you go on a cruise you'll see people hiding these ducks

most of the cruise lines are very cool about this except Disney this year Disney actually outlawed them

we primarily go on Royal Caribbean and our favorite class of ship is the Oasis class

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hide ducks in open public areas, not in restaurants, stores, or named places
Avoid ducks that are choking hazards, especially for kids
