Save Money on Your Next Cruise Ducking Adventure
Of all the ways to set a rubber duck loose on the world, cruise ducking sends them the farthest. A duck hidden on a Jeep might cross a county. A duck tucked into a stairwell on a cruise ship can ride from Miami to Cozumel to Grand Cayman, get re-hidden by a stranger, and keep sailing for months — racking up thousands of tracked miles on its DuckyTrack map. That’s why we lean cruiser around here: your ducks simply travel further at sea.
And good news — Amazon Prime Day runs June 20–24, which makes it the perfect time to stock up before your next sailing. Here’s how to do cruise ducking for less.
1. Bring a fleet (the more ducks, the more finds)
The single biggest predictor of a fun cruise duck hunt is quantity. Tiny ducks are easy to pack, easy to hide, and irresistible to find — perfect for a 7-night sailing. Grab a bulk bag and you’re set:
2. Tag them so you can actually track them
A cruise duck without a QR tag is just a toy someone keeps. A tagged duck becomes a little globe-trotter you can follow. The fastest way to make weatherproof, salt-air-ready tags is a small inkless thermal label printer:
Pair it with round label stock that fits a duck’s belly perfectly:
3. Print your free tags here
You don’t need anything fancy to start — our free QR tag generator prints on a home printer too. Add the duck’s name, generate the code, stick it on, and drop it in a planter on the Lido deck. When a fellow cruiser scans it, you’ll see exactly where your duck went.
Mark your calendar for June 20. Set up your DuckyTrack app now, build your flock, and let your ducks see the world — one port at a time.
