How to Hide Cruise Ducks
Choose responsible hiding places, prepare a useful tag and avoid locations that create safety or operational problems.

A good location is visible, dry and reachable from the normal passenger route. The finder should not need to move furniture, enter a staff space, climb, lean over a rail or interfere with ship equipment.
Avoid high-risk locations
Never use pools, hot tubs, food displays, lifeboats, fire equipment, electrical spaces, toilets, shops, children’s clubs, crew-only areas, stairs or gangways. Never place anything where it could fall overboard or be mistaken for an unattended security concern.
Respect the ship and crew
Operator instructions and crew directions always take priority. If policy is unclear, ask guest services before hiding. Remove damaged ducks and loose tags rather than leaving litter for the crew.
