Looking for creative places to hide your ducks? Here are some fun ideas that are easy for kids (and adults!) to spot, without breaking any rules.

1. Behind a decorative plant (not Central Park live plants!)
   – Stick to artificial plants or arrangements in lounges.
2. On a staircase ledge
   – Place one where people will spot it as they walk between decks.
3. Near the elevator buttons
   – Just high enough for kids to notice, but not blocking the button panel.
4. In the library or card room
   – Tuck one on a bookshelf or game shelf.
5. On the back of a lounge chair
   – Poolside or in a quiet lounge area, where someone sitting down will discover it.
6. By a statue or piece of artwork
   – Ships have tons of quirky sculptures. Ducks love art, too!
7. In the kids’ arcade (not inside machines!)
   – Place one on a bench or counter where kids are already looking for fun.
8. By the stateroom number signs in a hallway
   – Easy for kids to find as they walk to their cabin.
9. Near the drink station (but not on food counters)
   – Place it on a nearby shelf or rail where it’s visible but sanitary.
10. At the theater entrance
    – Hide one on a ledge or seat before the show starts.

⚠️ Remember: Don’t put ducks in unsafe areas, food areas, pools, or plant beds (especially Central Park). Keep it fun, safe, and family-friendly.
