While cruise ducks are all about fun, it's essential that you are respectful of the cruise line and other passengers.  They are:

If you find a duck:

• Take a photo of yourself with the duck, or just the duck, and post it to the "Cruising Ducks - Original" Facebook group. 

• You can choose to keep your new friend or re-hide it.

 
If you found a duck and want to re-hide it, or you plan on hiding a bunch of your own:

• DO NOT hide ducks in a pool or hot tub.  We don't want a child to fall in attempting to reach it.

• DON'T hide ducks in the shops.  We don't want anyone to look like they're stealing something or get employees reprimanded.

• DON'T hide ducks anywhere they can fall overboard. Even though it's a duck, marine life will not appreciate its presence.

• Travel related business cannot promote their business. This is against cruise line policy.

• DO hide ducks low to give little ones a chance of finding them.

• DO get creative with your duck choices. There are ducks of all sizes, and it isn't limited to rubber duckies.  I've hear any duck goes!

• DO bring tags to attach to your duck(s).  Include your name and where you're from, along with instructions for those that find them.  Cruising Ducks - Original recommends:

​

"Oh, what luck. You found a duck! Keep or hide, you decide. You found a cruising duck hidden by [name] from [city, state, country]. Hide in public places only — no pools, hot tubs or stores. Take a photo, and post it in the Facebook group 'Cruising Ducks - Original.'"

​

• DO have fun!
