Quackers: How rubber ducks are taking over cruise ships
The whimsical trend is growing in popularity, but not every cruise company is on board with it.
Some passengers bring dozens of ducks onboard.
Dressed in sailor uniforms or cowboy hats or painted in bright pinks, blues and reds, rubber duckies – the kind usually found floating in a toddler’s tub – are now bobbing to faraway places as part of a global scavenger hunt taking over cruise ships.
If you’re cruising this summer, you might find a duck in any number of places on your ship – behind potted plants, balancing on door knobs, or poised on top of signs. They’re part of a whimsical trend among people who frequently vacation on the seas.
