I'm a duck hider. I place NO expectations on who can find or keep them. I've heard people complain about adults and crew keeping them too. People shouldn't be so controlling and just let us have fun and making some people happy!

On my last cruise, I was watching crew members finding much enjoyment looking for the ducks in Central Park. I was happy for them as it gave them joy.

Cruising Ducks should be for everyone. On my last cruise in May, our cabin steward had two teenage daughters back at home so I gave him duck earrings for both girls and I was so happy to know they would enjoy them. In fact, maybe even more so because those girls may not have had the opportunity to find duck earrings back at home. Plus, he got the pleasure of sending them something they would enjoy that also let them know he was thinking about them while away at work.

I saw a crew member channel where their friend was giddy she found another duck for her collection. This woman was living for 9 months away from home in small quarters and training athletic stunts so she can entertain passengers. Let her enjoy the damn ducks.

We fixed the fan problem, we book balconies. The sound of the waves and the fresh air to us is 100% better than a fan.

People will always find something to complain about. I wish people would just relax and enjoy their vacation

I was on a Norwegian cruise and went to the spa for a massage. I took off my necklace, a gift from my husband, and when I got up to get dressed the necklace was gone. It was very valuable (Tiffany’s) but the sentimental value to me was priceless. The masseuse swore she didn’t take it, staff looked on the floor etc but no luck. I even had the head of security come to my cabin the night before debarkation and ask to search my room and my bags?! Of course the masseuse took it. No one else was in the room. Never got it back. Disgusted.

On big screens all over the ship: Showing entertainment - yes. Showing nonstop commercials - no. Nonstop commercials for the cruise line - double no.

No fans, bring your own

My fan goes wherever I go, it’s my wife, she’s my biggest fan 🤣🤣🤣

The crew members love the ducks. I don't care who finds the ducks as long as it makes them happy.

I found a duck and showed it to one of the young ladies in the Gelato shop and she loved it. So I "hid" it behind the napkin dispenser on the counter...when she "found" it, she was thrilled!!

I travel with a battery operated fan. It fits in my luggage and it's approved

NO!!!! Carnival should not have to buy fans for all cabins!!! If they did, where would this mentality stop????

If they put fans in every cabin, there would be people that would complain that they were there even though they don't want one. Either ask for one or bring your own!

The first cruise line to name their ship Chicken of the Seas 🏆 wins.

We left behind an empty suitcase on Panorama, under the bed... Carnival said they couldn't find it.. the tracker shows it now resides in the Philippines... interestingly, that is where our cabin stew is from...

1. Movies are enjoyed by many on a cruise. MYOB 2. Vaping should only be allowed in smoking areas. 3. If you want a fan, bring it. 4. Ducks being hidden are for anyone who finds them to enjoy. If you don’t want some people to enjoy them, don’t leave any!

$799 for Internet service?? Holy cow!! That is ridiculous!!!

Rule #1 - Mind your business on cruise ships

Thank you Tony, always appreciate the cruise news and your views.

Crew members love ducks. Sometimes my wife hides the ducks where only the crew will probably find them like the commenter below said about the Gelato Shop. Then just watch their reaction when they find them.

I buy a new fan every few cruises…about $25 and I leave the fan for the steward to use in their own cabin because it gets so stuffy in their areas. Makes them smile.

Smoking/vaping same thing! it still all stinks!!!

"Touch your nose and mind your business!" I ended up spitting soda everywhere. I laughed so hard this episode. Crew members should absolutely be able to participate in the ducks!

The ducks are for crew as well as passengers. It has gotten to the point that whoever finds them can take them. Which is good!!!!!!!😊😊😊

So bring your own fan! We always do!

Oh my lord. People will complain about anything. Different people have different interests. If everyone was the same, life would be boring. A) Several people like Dive In Movies. If they show a big hit that I haven't seen yet, I will watch at night. Please don't take that away. B) If your habit negatively effects someone else's breathing or causes respiratory distress, it needs to be contained in a specific area. C) I bring a small USB fan that easily fits on the nightstand beside the bed, cheap on Amazon and takes up very little space in a carry on. D) I "hide" one duck a day, but I do not attach QR codes or anything to them. I don't care who finds them. As long as it makes someones day a little brighter, then that makes me happy.

I left my Yeti cup on the counter when we left our bags in the room on embarkation day (right at 1:30 more or less). The room stewards had already cleaned our room but still had their carts in the hallway, so we grabbed our S&S cards and left - thought nothing of it. When we came back it was gone, so…yeah…

28 Carnival cruises never had anything stolen. We never leave anything valuable out

What happened to enjoying a vacation. Why are we so quick to post a complaint? Why not post something wonderful that happened. Spread some joy…not enough in the media these days. Thanks Tony. Have an awesome trip!

1. Like movies at night by the pool. 2. Don't mind the ducks, just don't want them winding up in the ocean. 3. Having fans available is a great perk for customers just like extension cords being available. Request when booking. 4. Vaping in smoking area is probably the best way to keep the complaints down. 5. Crew finding ducks..no biggie. Crew stealing from passengers is a violation of trust and should carry harsh punishment. I really want to make Celebrity our next cruise. Port Canaveral is not close but better than Miami. I'll have to check out Equinox.

The first time I saw the rubber ducks on Carnival I had to ask a crew member why were they so excited to get one. They told me it was just fun to find them or to be given one by cruisers. I saw an older lady give the staff in the buffet ducks, which made them happy. Who cares who gets the ducks??? I was😮 under the impression it was for everyone.

For sea days, I spent time Reading/listening to a book, on my Balcony, watching the sea go by. I also spent time at the waterpark and in the pool.

Hey Tony! Don't call my beloved duckies stupid! 😅. I love hiding duckies, and also handing them out. I bring between 300 and 400 duckies and im pretty sure some are being found by cruisers. But i make sure to hand out most of them to the crew. I love to see the excitement and smiles in their faces!

We were on NCL Sky while you were on Jade. I took 50 ducks to hide. Several of them I actually hid on the carts of the room stewards parked in the hall. I put one on a tray of silverware one worker was actually carrying. I also handed them to crew members with their thank you cards carrying their extra tips. Why can’t crew members enjoy the fun too? I always put tags on the ducks with the ship and sailing date. I think it’s fun for crew to have a little something to remind them of their time on board. I’m sure if someone didn’t want a crew member to have them, they could put on the tag to please leave for passengers, but I also think that would be petty. Last year, we threw a surprise birthday party for my husband just before one of our cruises. The party favors were little cardboard suitcases filled with candy. (It was a travel themed party) We took the leftover party favors with us. We gave them to the crews of the airplanes we flew on and back and to the cruise crew that helped us too. They really liked it. There is no reason not to treat people who are so helpful nicely.

A bartender on an NCL ship saw me hide a duck in his bar and collected the duck and approached me. I thought I was in some sort of trouble. He asked if he could keep the duck for his three year old daughter as a souvenir? Ifvi opposed he'd put it back. I said certainly they are for who ever finds them, I gave him a $20 bill to take to his family as well.

I know of crew members who collect the ducks. They work so hard, let them have this little bit of fun during their onboard days. 🐥🐥🐥

On Wonder in February, they had huge screens with videos showing puppies, etc. They had movies on another screen. I love watching movies on cruises!! I actually make a movie night. People need to just pay attention to what makes them happy and leave everyone else be. I think if a crew member finds a duck they should be free to post it online and either keep it or rehide it.

Thanks for the laughs. Those people live under a rock.

A couple comments. 1 As someone that quit smoking cigarettes 11 years ago by switching to vaping, my personal thing is getting stuck with cigarette smokers. Since I got my sense of smell back, I think smoking smells terrible compared to vaping, it gets into your cloths and sharing the smoke deck is not ideal. I don't complain though. The smoking areas are big, and you can usually step away from the smokers.2. The crew maybe be taking them for their collections, but they are also taking them for some other reason. On my last carnival cruise, I was in the jewelry store with my son and when they opened one of the cabinets under the register, they had a bunch of ducks in it with the tags still on. My son said something, and they gave him one. It was one hidden by a passenger. I think it's more of an issue of the ships not wanting them sitting around for too long, whether the crew takes them and gets rid of them or keeps them for their selves.

As a stock holder in Carnival - No! Fans should not be put in each cabin. 😂😂😂. Ducks are for whoever finds them. We hide them and love it when we see crew members getting excited about finding one.

Ducks be Free for everyone on the Ship!

No more Carnival cruises for me! I’m tired of the foolery! Last year we took a Celebrity cruise on the Solstice and went to Alaska. A few weeks ago another her Celebrity cruise on Equinox to Greece, Turkey and Ephesus! It was as amazing and no fights broke out! 😊❤

Joy and I sailed on the Celebrity Equinox because of your video. We did the glass blowing, which was fun and now we have very special souvenirs from that cruise. Loved the ship, the crew, and the food. 😎

We also loved the Equinox! Happy Birthday to a great ship!

I was on the NCL Pride of America and a Crew member found one of my ducks and she was so excited!! In my opinion the ducks are for all to enjoy

I not only brought ducks and hid them, but I brought extra to hand out to the crew members to ensure they got one! 2nd I bring my portable USB fan I purchased from Temu and I loved having it. I set it on the nightstand next to my head and it worked beautifully.

1. I love the movies 2. Don't care who finds the ducks 3. Bring your on battery operated fan

Great show!! I bring 2 USB fans. It's not the cruise lines responibity. Happy Cruising!!

Great episode Tony. You are so fun to watch!

Ducks for ALL!!

WE love watching movies on the cruise.

I can’t wait to see your videos on the Utopia!! We are going in October and I’ve been eagerly awaiting to see what it’s going to look like ! Have fun !! 🎉🎉

I love how triggered people get over cruse ducks! I never look for them, but when I happen to find one, I never take it, but does make me smile for a bit.

I love hiding Duck and i love seeing the Crew finding them when so many people have already past them without being found and anyone can find them not just passengers

1.) I use a fan all the time, but I have no problem bringing it with me. I do wish however, they would supply kettles in the cabins like they do on the UK cruises. That would be cool since we can’t bring our own kettles. 2.) Who cares if the crew members like the ducks too? They’re stuck on a ship and if a duck brings the joy, let them have them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They aren’t below the passengers.

Avatar (James Cameron's) is one of my all-time favorite movies. I waited years for the sequel and when it finally came out I wasn't able to see it immediately. It just so happen to debut on the Carnival Vista the week we cruised, which just so happened to be my birthday. We basically had the entire theater to ourselves. I got to see the Way of Water on the ocean. Iconic. I will NEVER forget that moment. So, the cinema holds a special place for me ❤

We take ducks and hide them. My wife hands out ducks to small children and they are delighted to get them! It doesn't matter who gets the ducks if they bring joy, who cares!!

The Equinox was my first Celebrity cruise also. I've been on her 3 times now. Great ship

If plp think that smoking a cherry flavored mystery chemical is any better than smoking cigarettes they should be banned. 😂

Regarding hiding ducks, given why they were started, to bring joy to a sick child on her cruise, let the crew have fun too. Joy is contagious. Let them be happy, they have to be apart from their family and friends for months. If this brings them a smile and allows them to do their work happier, then don't we all win?

I absolutely LOVE the Cruise Ducks thing, but I swear, the more that cruisers make a stink about it, the more of a pain in the butt it will become with the Cruise Lines... and then BOOM - DUCKS WILL BE BANNED! Some people are just dumb and ruin it for everyone else. Btw Tony, do you have the TITANIC lego model yet? 🙂

I shared this with my "FB audience, whom I call the Tribe. Keep it up dude

Equinox was my first Celebrity cruise. Great ship. Happy that it is now ported in Canaveral

Movie screens on the Lido deck - I agree with you that lots of people watch movies there. I never have and probably never will but they’re popular so that person needs to take a chill pill. Vaping is almost identical to smoking in subjecting people nearby with a cloud of fragrant smoke. It might not be as smelly as regular cigarette smoke but it’s something I and other non-vaping/smoking passengers shouldn’t be subjected to. I am not a fan of cruise lines providing a fan in every stateroom. If collecting rubber ducks brings happiness to a crew member who has a hellacious work schedule and, for most crew, is undertaking a monotonous, hard job, then I think they should be allowed that modicum of happiness.

Cruise news notification! Has become my quickest click on KZfaq! Thanks Tony!

Good one, Tony!

I worked in Pulmonary. The docs say vaping is worse than smoking. Im allergic to the smoke. I dont want to deal with vape smoke. There are designated areas for smoking/vape. I respect and appreciate that and make my entry through the casino very quick. Nonetheless, i dont gamble.

you tell em...loved the video, thanks

1. While the pool deck movie screens can admittedly be annoying during the day, many cruisers, including me, very much enjoy watching a movie under the night stars. 2. Vaping is still smoking and is unhealthy, probably more than we know. Therefore, it should only be allowed in smoking areas. 3. If you tend to get hot in your cabin (or any place else) and feel like you need a fan, bring one. 4. The whole duck thing is so ducking stupid to begin with. But for people to actually complain about who ends up with them? I rest my case.

Please steal all the ducks!!!!!

I remember that cruise Tony!!! The glass blowing too ..

Equinox was my first Celebrity ship too, back in 2011 (Med cruise). Great class of ships… liked it so much, in fact, I went back the following summer and did it again! :)

I’ll be on Utopia too!!!!!! So excited. Hope to see you.

You are 💯 correct Tony!

Hey there Tony. Love your content. Say, do you ever include in your "descriptions below" a list of equipment you use to record both your home videos and your onboard tour videos? Your stuff looks great and was just curious as to what you work with. Many thanks for all that you do!

Equinox was my first celebrity ship and it was for my 40th bday and where my fiancé proposed to me so it will have a place on my heart for sure ❤

Me too! I have to fly from Va but super excited.

I think Carnival became a Billion dollar company by not buying fans and showing movies on the Lido deck, thus forcing people to go outside to get their fresh air! Absolutely Diabolical!

Peace, How tall are you bro? I love your content and saw a video with a picture of you and Don (who I also follow) and you were towering over him. Keep up the good work, you have me and my wife rolling.😂 Peace

Well when I got home I found to be locked out, a cruise worker STOLE my keys to my house. Now they are living there with a bunch of DUCKS, who VAPE using FANS blowing it in my FACE. 😂😂😂😂

It was so cool seeing Utopia come home! Can't wait to be on the inaugural B2B!!!! See you the 19th!!

Ducks are for everyone, some people even bring special ducks to give to crew. Vaping, there does need to be more areas! In the old days smokers usually got to enjoy the port side. I know today we won't get half of the ship, but there does need to be more locations and need to be spread out a bit, maybe the aft one most newer ships have, but there needs to be a mid ship one as well and at least one where you don't have to stand in bad weather or walk in the rain to get to.

Did the Med on the Equinox and will be on her again in August for Spain, Portugal and Morocco - beautiful ship... Loved it❣️

We are on the preview sailing this Monday! We won the instagram sweepstakes where we get to meet Meghan Trainor! So excited!

I'm sick of other cruises speaking for me. I don't WANT A FAN, no you shouldn't smoke it's bad for your health and especially inside.

I say no to vaping all over the ship, I say no carnival should not provide fans for everyone.. and who cares who find the ducks.. 🦆

As a nonsmoker, the thought of breathing your cherry flavored vape cloud is nauseating. Please please please keep the vaping in the smoking area so us nonsmokers don't have to breathe it. Thank you in advance 😁

12:04 “the stupid rubber ducks”😂😂

I have actually left ducks specifically for cruise staff. Bartender loved the ducks so I hid one just for her.

On my last cruise I gave cruise ducks to the workers for doing a great job. They loved receiving them.

Going on Utopia mid-October and can't wait to see your review

I’m so “jelly” that you’re getting to go on the Utopia! Have a great time and be safe!!

Love Equinox, love Celebrity. ❤ Sailed her twice. Great, beautiful ship. Love that real grass, and the shows are always good.

Touch your nose and mind your business! 😂

I love getting some yummy popcorn & being able to watch on that huge screen & knowing I’m on a ship … can’t wait ! Our cruise is in September on the Celebration .haven’t been on that one yet ! 🎉

VAPING = Throat and mouth irritation, headache, cough and feeling sick. Lung damage, increased cancer risk, Lipoid pneumonia.

I bring my own fan. If you can afford a cruise you can affird a fan. LOL
