Creator's Key Takeaways

cruising ducks are little yellow rubber ducks and the game in essence is a form of hide and sink

the rule is that the cruise ducks are not to be hidden in any of the crew shops the pools or the hot tubs

I would say if you're going to do the cruising Ducks consider doing 50 at a maximum but even doing a dozen or two dozen is probably going to be in itself a lot of fun

don't ever put them in a location where they can go overboard you're never allowed to throw anything into the ocean
