Cruise Ducks and Love Locks are OUT OF CONTROL - These Travel Trends Need To Stop!

[@cheryladamic4773]

I am a duck lover-Hiding and finding. It is harmless and fun. I know it isnt for everyone, but I am a fan

[@monicadepoy5157]

Ducks : if I find one, I re-hide it. That’s called “ catch & release “

[@FlokeMcWud]

Just took a 14 day HAL cruise. Zero ducks hidden, zero ducks spotted. Perfect. 100% with you on the ducks. Like most good things, people have taken it too far.

[@yesterdayseyes]

You saw zero, and it was too much? You know you sound insane right?

[@FlokeMcWud]

@@yesterdayseyes Nice try troll. Maybe practice reading more. I said I saw zero and that was perfect.

[@russellyeley2561]

Like the bike tour. I have found ducks on Princess. I don't buy ducks. Sometimes if I see one I will move it to another location. I overheard a mother and daughter looking for ducks. the mother said we need it look earlier in the day. So when they were facing away I put a duck on a table for the girl to find. She was so excited when she found the duck.

[@greatbigguy]

KZbinr THE HONEST GUIDE actually cut the locks off and invited tourists to help. Then they donated the scrap metal to help make a new bell for one of the famous churches. I think he actually took donations from tourists for the privilege of cutting off locks. Hamburg should do the same😊

[@JeffreyInPS]

I am a grumpy old man and I think the duck thing is dumb. But after I saw the look on some kids faces when they found one, it made me think differently. Now, I just ignore them when I see them. At least they are small and they don't make the ship sink. LOL

[@agentaemme]

Back in 2019, a nice hostess showed my kids where an older couple had just hidden two ducks. For them it was completely magical. They now help with hiding the ducks for other kids to find. I normally save mine to "hide" in plain sight for the smaller ones to find after getting a nod from their parents that it's okay. On our last cruise we met a large gaggle of teenagers that were collecting them as a competition. Their uncle apparently usually hides ducks, but was paying whichever of his relatives gave him the most ducks on this cruise $100. As long as they're not hidden inappropriately (the miniature ducks where small kiddos can reach, in potted plants, in bathrooms, outside, etc.) I'm okay with them being in a larger quantity. We only found 12 on our 7 day cruise (probably because of the teenage gaggle), but the hunt gave our kids something productive they could do that didn't disturb anyone else (i.e.: cartwheels in the atrium, or seeing how loud they can sing) when splash academy is closed. I also bring duck pens, keychains, and stickers for the splash academy crew and for any crew members that we encounter that mention they love finding the ducks.

[@familyocean]

First time I’ve disagreed with you, Morgan. I love ducks. It’s just a fun harmless thing that brings joy.

[@leeprosser4682]

It did start out as harmless fun, it seems to be getting out of control now though

[@TheMeloettaful]

I can totally understand where Morgan is coming from concerning the ducks. But like you I also love the ducks as well. The love locks however I think is a total waste of a good lock to just leave it there. The sentiment behind it is very lovely, but I'm not gonna buy a lock to just leave it behind for someone to cut out eventually.

[@23oakhill]

Yes it’s unofficially factual that Morgan is now an old man! I am an old lady so I agree with you.

[@MustangErin]

I have jumped on the duck trend. But i do NOT bring 200 of them. I dont want to fill up a suitcase of just ducks. I just bring a few. I know some of the crew like to find them as well. One crew member said he collects them, brings them home and gives them out.

[@TheMeloettaful]

I'm planning on hiding my very first batch of ducks on my Hawaii cruise come 2026 😊💛🐥. But like you I'm not gonna overwhelm myself with a 100 or more of them every time. That's just too much! I bought a bag of 55 of them. At most I'll bring 35, but maybe I'll bring a few more to just give out to some of the crew 🤷🏾‍♀.

[@steveee2511]

agree totally on the locks i was recently in Salzburg and bridge was way to full locks ,it wonders me how many of these lock people brocked up

[@EvinMA]

Nope. We love duck hunting. We bring them home to our grandchildren. I keep them too. On our last cruise (last month) there was only one duck found, and it wasn’t by me. If you are bah humbug about them, leave them alone and don’t participate.

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I have seen dedicated "lock sculptures" places like Curacao where people are encouraged/allowed to do the love locks and it isn't a problem for bridges, fences or gates. As for the cruise ducks ... meh ... I used to be into it, but don't do it anymore. I recently found ducks 4 times on a cruise and I just re-hid them. The people who REALLY seem to be thrilled to find them are crew members. I have no problem with something that gives a little entertainment to people who are working 12-hour days on 8-month contracts and rarely have a day off the ship.

[@summerbee4351]

How could it be that I have never seen any duck on my last cruises? Now I have to look for them 😂

[@cantstopwalkingbutlovemowing]

I'm going to respectfully disagree I hid over 100 ducks. gave out dozens of ducks to little kids the look on their faces had brought me to tears ..no cards just the duck .I was known as the duck man lol .there was dozens of people walking with my ducks through out the ship I just left .I spent most of my time on the family level were the parents were looking for ducks .and the children were loving them

[@danelledavis9164]

I geocache at ports all over the world. You get exercise, it can be educational and you’re not leaving plastic duck trash all over the ships. I love finding “travelers” and relocating them.

[@je5115]

Not old. Not grumpy. Not wrong.

[@larrybell8897]

Went on the discovery last Jan…being 70 years old I found a duck in the elevator….made my day😊

[@lg4377]

i don't love the locks when it costs cities money and/or causes damage. i also don't love that technically you are supposed to throw the key into the water and maybe that could harm wildlife. But the ducks dont seem to be hurting anything.

[@TheMeloettaful]

For me it is a total waste of a good lock to buy and just leave behind. And as you mentioned people throwing the keys into the water is so stupid & could harm the wildlife as well. As for the ducks I can see where Morgan is coming from. Overall I still love the ducks, and plan on hiding some myself at some point.

[@kathyazzarito5950]

I agree with you about the locks. Love that you had the disclaimer “not actual speed” on your bike tour 😂😂😂

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

I'm glad you caught that about the bike speed. I was hoping it would put a smile on someone's face :-P

[@judyk928]

I loved seeing the sights via your bike ride. I miss the "commenting on your comments" portion of the Sunday videos.

[@lisalister8002]

YES!! The ducks are out of control! People are bringing suitcases full of them.

[@m.m.4645]

Well , THAT is really stupid!

[@Jacqueline-g9n]

Liked seeing all your lovely bike lanes!

[@StayceeR]

I read somewhere that the Ships Crew collect them as well and give them to their kids ..i think this trend goes beyond just passengers.crews are away home and probably provides a little for diverson too. Just sayin

[@lovelymaedeleyola5855]

My sister (seawoman) worked in carnival horizon. Whenever her friend find some cruise ducks, she gives it to my sister and to other crew members. Other crews even ask this friend to find ducks for them 😂 My sis took it home and gave it to my daughter. My daughter loves it very much ✨

[@kathaag]

I once found a wooden handmade duck. I love it and will cherish as it was a one of a kind. In Curaçao there are hearts specifically for the locks. It’s a cool piece of art.

[@Booger414]

I am also a grumpy old man, and I tried hiding ducks for the first time last year. We brough around 50, we found about maybe 12. I agree that this is getting out of control, on our cruise there was an organized event to exchange ducks that had some strange rules. To me what s the most out of control are the ducks getting bigger, being stuffed or crocheted instead of rubber and some of the decorations these once simple ducks now sport.

[@moonshine4049]

"Get off my Lawn!" Just Kidding! 100% agree. As far as the ducks go, I had zero idea this was a thing and I kinda think it is silly. This past April fools day I hid 130 ducks in my sis in laws house. She will be finding them For Ev Errrrr! Hysterically fun!

[@craigweightman799]

These ducks are driving me quackers. 😂😂😂

[@vickieholm8287]

My husband is 72 and enjoys the duck hunting. He finds em and hides them again. He brings a couple new goofy ones to hide on each cruise. 😂

[@travelwithdebandnick]

totally hearing you morgan. i never thought of it that way, but it really does take the special part of it away

[@postaldee68]

I found my 1st duck in 2021 and still have it in my bathroom. I've seen a few more on other cruises but I leave them for others to find. BUT I have to agree that it's getting out of hand. I've found them hidden at work!

[@theresaforden5123]

I could agree with the live locks as they are left behind. The ducks are fun for all ages and is not litter as you said with the locks. The ducks are really not usually that easy to find on most cruises.

[@ronfisher8886]

I agree, Too much means loss of special meaning.

[@joadams9074]

I am a duck hider, when my adult son is cruising with me, he takes my ducks and gives them out to the kids he sees. It’s also fun to see the kids that are looking for the ducks are you can either give them 1 or be just ahead of them and set up a find for them.

[@CynthiaHiatt]

I personally hand ducks to people. I ask if they have ever been ducked. Explain myself and give them a duck plus the crew too

[@Knightnurse90]

Wow Morgan. You are 50 not 100 !! ducks are harmless. If you don’t wish to participate then don’t. My 57 year old husband loved it . The bartenders bee lined right over to us to ask to swap for ducks for their kids .😂 The locks I’ll give you. If they are ruining structures that is different. .

[@veronicahamm1839]

Thank you so much for taking the time to write, and for buying the book! It's a quick read, but I hope you enjoy it.

[@fabio-go3976]

Agreed. Enough of the locks and ducks. Make them start having to buy a drinks package for each duck and that will stop it!

[@Joel-Tracy]

Amen! thanks for calling these out

[@earlandtom7029]

On a recent cruise, while we were having cocktails in one of the bars, a woman put a duck underneath the piano that was in there. The waiter saw her and went over and grabbed the duck. We chuckled about it and he said they had boxes of them in the back. They're told to grab any they see and take them away. We see them everywhere now on all the cruises we take, and we see many people look at them and ignore them. Probably fun if you have kids who find them.

[@rhondalyn100]

The ride around Hamburg was fun! I agree the locks are a bit too much, mostly because of the permanency and weight, which causes damage. The ducks, on the other hand, are fun to find. At least the one I found was...an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weenie 1/4" lavender duckie I found on my very first cruise last month (Virgin/Valiant Lady). It's a cute little reminder of a wonderful time and I love it. 🙂

[@virnataijeronyager7741]

Wow. I didn’t realize there’s that many ducks! I’ve been on 4 cruises and I’ve found 1 duck. I just left it there but later I saw a little boy find it and he was so excited it was sweet. I will agree that bringing onboard 50 ducks to hide is a little ridiculous 😮. As for the locks, my husband I did that once in Prague on the Charles bridge. It was my understanding that they cut them all off on a regular basis. I didn’t expect places leave them there forever! Love your vlogs Morgan!

[@crazykev6491]

The only place I’ve seen a bridge full of locks was in Kennebunkport, Maine while on a New England cruise in 2019.

[@danelledavis9164]

I’ve seen them all over Europe and tourists do it here in NYC. It’s very tacky.

[@bradcornelius8305]

I don’t have a problem with someone hiding a duck. However I can see somebody who is hiding a whole flock of ducks getting the act banned. & from what you said about people advertising their own business. That potentially ties into something on dons channel about travel professionals being restricted from booking future customers if they are caught actively soliciting while on the ship. (Virgin )

[@sanchezhandymen3444]

I took a cruise a month ago, I bought 25 ducks, prepped only 12 to take with us, we each got 4 ducks to put out for people to find, it was fun but it was too much work for me so 12 was as far as I got LMAO, I could not imagine 50 or more ducks! It was fun and i got it out of my system, will leave it to others to do.

[@Cruisinjules]

Yes, after seeing those bridges the locks are out of control. I think it can be a bit of an eye sore. I have to wonder what the housekeeping staff thinks of all of the ducks.

[@billcook4768]

Locks are permanent and damaging. Ducks are temporary and good fun. I wouldn’t group them together.

[@julieb7882]

Locks can be cut off, and possibly the metal can be recycled. However, it does require government time to remove them. Over time, some may even rust away on their own. Can ducks be recycled ? How long do they take to breakdown ?

[@dianeengle6926]

​@@julieb7882people keep the ducks. They don't throw them away.

[@julieb7882]

@dianeengle6926 Some people toss them, especially when they're not the fancy ones.

[@dianeengle6926]

@julieb7882 I have never seen that on any of my cruises. They usually rehide them or don't pick them up in the first place. Also the crew love them and many save them for their own children when they get to go home. Not saying it couldn't happen, but probably pretty rare.

[@hollypotter6989]

Morgan made a good point though. One or two are cute and unique, but 500 is too much. Maybe something biodegradable made from paper would be better. A little origami duck or swan would be lovely to find. Nothing plastic. Certainly nothing advertising a business. That is actually forbidden on cruise ships. Maybe spend a couple of bucks on Wish and get some hand fans or back scratchers. Hide them. Something people might actually use. 😊

[@hollypotter6989]

I saw on another vlog that Disney is saying a big fat NO to ducks. They are serious about it. Donald and Daisy are the only ducks allowed on Disney cruises. I also saw that John Heald of Carnival said you could get in trouble if you attempt to solicit on any of their ships throughout all their brands by putting your card on a duck. Lifetime banning was even mentioned as promoting any business on their ships is strictly forbidden. Apparently there are serious consequences for breaking the no soliciting rule. Wish they'd enforce all their rules like that.

[@susanr.562]

Agree. The ‘herd instinct’.

[@boats2build629]

Recently, after having read a travel article that referred to placing locks on a bridge, I was wondering about how many places this happens and if it becomes a problem. I assumed that at some point it probably would become a problem. A couple years ago, we saw something similar on a bridge in the western part of our state. Thank you for providing a definite answer for me. I agree, sometimes certain trends tend to get way out of hand and become too much. As for the cruising ducks, I have mixed feelings. I see the joy some people get, while I also see some people who just don't like it. I often wonder how much of that rubber, plastic, & other non-biodegradable materials end up causing harm to us and our environment. Thanks for the video! "Not actual speed." 😂

[@windyfetterly5423]

I agree with you, they have both gotten out of control and I find them ugly and distracting from the decor or scenery of the place you are at.

[@robinbrook5624]

While the locks can cause a safety issues with some bridges, ducks are just pure fun. There is an easy solution for the locks! The cities just need to have a local artists do a metal sculptures, made to hold locks. Then they become art and don't damage bridges.

[@df5349]

Great vlog! I have not been to Hamburg yet, but the brief bike ride you took me on was great. Hamburg is on my bucket list. I agree with you, too much with the locks and ducks. What’s the next trend??

[@laurahykes9206]

I don't mind the locks too much. Most places do remove them after a while. I must be living under a rock, I never heard of the ducks situation and I do cruise, lol. I could do without the ducks, lol.

OMG thank you. Taking a "family" cruise in may and everyone wants to do ducks. I refuse to participate. It's cute but seems soo over done.

[@marilynmcphail9221]

I do agree about the locks. I don’t really like how those locks obscure the views and compromise the safety of the bridges. I’ve never participated in the cruise duck thing but am wondering if I will see any on my next cruise. I think bringing 50 is too many, 1 for each person in your cabin is okay and kind of cute.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Yes, if it was just small amounts then it would remain something really special!

[@AidaJof]

I agree with you Morgan, it was cute when the little girl did it, but now it's too much. As to the love locks, again ... too much and lacks originality. Definitely pollution.

[@teresamiller5412]

Our last cruise kids were crying because they couldn’t find a duck 🤦‍♀️

[@meadsummer6547]

I'd never heard of cruise ducks until last year. I thought it was cute for a few months, but then I found that some people take it WAY too seriously. They're useless little kids toys. And if that makes me a "grumpy old man," well, I'm about to turn 60, so I guess I'll have to own it. As for the love locks, I'd never heard of them until watching this video.

[@TracyKMainwaring]

We found one duck, it was our last cruise in 2019. It was a little cool, we rehid it because our luggage was just so packed. I hear of people bringing crazy amounts of ducks. I think it should be a one duck limit. The love locks were neat in the beginning, you'd see a lock, they weren't engraved then, and wonder why it was on a bridge. You could make a few bucks recycling all those locks now LOL

[@elizabethh9591]

I'm with you. I've seen comments on travel groups where people say they have prepared over 100 ducks. Seriously???? What do people do with these ducks? Why not do a virtual scavenger hunt if you want to hunt / find something. Like clues that would lead to a piece of art on the ship or something. That seems more interesting. I really don't get the ducks.

[@Boffin55]

Too many ducks. And selfish adults who don't leave them for the kids. I see FB post from adults "Oh look, we found 58 ducks on our cruise". What the heck are you going to do with 58 ducks. Hide them for a kid on board, the kids love them; but yeah, there are toooooo many.

[@sicplano]

Perhaps the cruise line can have a policy where the crew collects ducks as they come across them on the last day of the cruise and donate to charity periodically. It is extra work on the crew but I would say that if folks know they’re going to be “disposed” of at cruise end they may not be as inclined to hide as many. Just a thought. I personally think they litter a place. I say the same about the community newspapers they still feel the need to throw at our doorsteps in this digital age. I can’t imagine anybody actually reads them. At least the ducks see some engagement.

[@pryttyfatchick]

Im not a fan of the ducks. Its gotten to the point that in the facebook group for the particular cruise people are posting their cabin numbers so that they can be left ducks, I feel that takes the fun out of it. Hiding a few here and there makes it more special then hiding hundreds.

The idea of locks is cute but damaging, unsightly, expensive to the cities that need to remove them regularly because their quantity is adding too much weight to the structures. Ducks? I’ve never seen one, except for the fine feathered flying ducks.

Pedestrian bridge at scenic overlook near me began sprouting locks a couple years ago, cluttering the view for everyone.

[@leeprosser4682]

Yeah, not a fan of the “harmless” ducks. Especially if they’re made from non recyclable materials. I just don’t think that the years/decades that the materials take to breakdown in landfill are outweighed by the 2 minutes of happiness at finding one. To me, they just seem to be novelty objects that are destined for the trash from the moment of their manufacture. Sure, the journey to the landfill might be delayed for a bit whilst they spend time on a shelf or in a bathroom but eventually…

[@1981cchris]

I agree with you on both of these.

[@LaHermitess]

I agree with you and in fact believe that almost anything, however cute and innocuous it may be when only done occasionally, can easily become obnoxious or even dangerous when done to excess. I would hope that if people realized that their silly symbolic gesture in the case of the locks was creating genuine damage and potential danger to the structural integrity of their preferred locations, they would stop doing this of their own accord. In the case of the duck trend, I am concerned about the enormous amount of plastic that will at some point become nothing but trash when this trend loses its charm and all those plastic duckies end up in landfill or floating in the ocean. As you said clearly and repeatedly, it is not so much the trends themselves that are problematic but the volume and breadth of their popularity. Be warned however, that this support of your position is coming from a grumpy old lady.

Great way to get engagement, but ducks don't really fall into the same category as locks. I have to really look for ducks on a cruise. There is not a wall of them to notice. They impact a cruise very little of you are not looking for them.

[@laureljaneg]

OK,as far as locks I think that’s inconsiderate because all of the problems they cause. I do not recall whether or not you’ve been to the Grand Canyon or not but this is a problem there as well. The lovers then toss the keys into the canyon. Doesn’t sound too bad except for the condors like shiny things so they get a hold of them and sometimes swallow them. Not a good situation. The ducks, I don’t look for them. The cruise lines have start banning them because if they’re not found then they have to dispose of them. This just causes prices to increase!

[@chrysvest4746]

I just returned from a trip to Germany and Austria (my first time), and I saw many of these locks for myself. I think it’s a terrible idea and it’s destroying many historic landmarks, and damaging the structural integrity of the bridges. that one definitely needs to go. The ducks are just a fun thing and my grandkids like it. I don’t see them as the same category.

I've been on several cruises and I hide a TON of ducks, but I only find a couple. She started it to bring "Joy" to others. If you don't like it, don't participate. No one is forcing you.

I don’t think you need to do architecture based not allowing love locks. I say let people do them it’s good for tourism, good for economy, and when it gets out of control remove them all and let the tourists start over. Good job security for city workers. Even let it be know on the webs/news they are being removed which would maybe make people revisit the city to put a new one on.
