I just got back from an unforgettable cruise on Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas in August 2025 — and one of the unexpected highlights? The Sea Ducks app! THANK YOU SHAE! This little gem of an app added SO much extra fun to our trip. If you haven’t tried it yet, here’s the scoop: you bring rubber ducks (or duck-themed goodies), hide them around the ship, and use the app to log their locations. Then, other cruisers use the app to find them — kind of like a floating scavenger hunt with a ducky twist!The app worked crazy fast — no glitches, super user-friendly, and updates instantly. I hid some adorable duck stickers, and within minutes, two sweet little girls found them and were absolutely beaming. Their excitement was contagious! I could track it all through the app, and it totally made my day.I loved how it brought strangers together in the most wholesome way. We saw families, couples, and kids all joining in — hiding ducks in clever spots, leaving kind messages, and just spreading pure joy across the ship. It added an extra layer of magic to an already incredible cruise.If you're cruising soon, do yourself a favor: bring some ducks and download Sea Ducks before you sail. It’s such a simple way to create fun memories and connect with fellow passengers — one duck at a time.

We were on the Icon last week, the launch cruise for the app. Our 12 year old had an absolute blast all week hunting for quackers. It took the duck hunt to the next level. So many kids (& adults) were running all around the ship looking for ducks. It took this already fun activity and made an awesome game of it, which is the kind of thing our son loves!! Thank you Mr Scott for your hard work on this app. It was a pleasure to meet you on the Icon. We are already looking forward to using the app on our next cruise in March!! 🦆

This is a fun app, here are a few suggestions to make it better: I was hiding ducks, not searching for them, so I could never graduate beyond “duckling”. There should be an option for “hiders” to go up in the ranks (the game does not exist at all without us!). Perhaps an option to add a delay to posting when ducks are hidden, or a way of randomizing your hiding places so they aren’t all found at once. I had a group of boys following me around stealing all my ducks bc I was posting on the app so they always knew where I was. By the end of the trip I was posting “fake” ducks on the opposite side of the ship to throw them off the scent and eventually just stopped using the app altogether to give other people a chance at finding some. Lastly, instead of begging for donations maybe you can make the app more customizable with small in app purchases. Might be worth considering!

So following my review two months back for the MSC World America (5 star btw). I would just like to know if the things I said are actually possible to bring into the app? Might you also detail the new anti-cheating detection enhancement update? (Asking since I had an experience with a slight degree of cheating), is it like you get flagged for finding a duck seconds after it’s posting, or being an unfair hider/seeker? Just asking! Respond on your own time if you can,Love with a passion for cruising,-Alex.
