During a recent transatlantic cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas, two unexpected furry travelers captured the attention of passengers and crew alike. The ship, which set sail from Miami on February 10 for a 12-night journey to Barcelona, had no idea that it was transporting two adorable stowaways. The sheer size of the Allure of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, provided ample hiding spots for the small intruders.
As the voyage progressed, passengers began to notice the presence of the stowaways in the ship’s Central Park area—a lush, open-air space filled with greenery and walking paths. Observant travelers quickly whipped out their smartphones, capturing photos and videos of the unexpected visitors—a pair of ducks. Social media lit up with posts about the delightful discovery, showcasing the charming duo enjoying their cruise experience among the ship’s floral decorations.
One passenger humorously recounted their excitement: “We were hunting ducks but found something better,” referring to the joyful surprise of spotting the real avian stowaways. Other cruisers shared in the astonishment, mistaking the ducks for lifelike decorations initially placed among the greenery. The delightful incident sparked conversations aboard the ship, making the feathered friends the unofficial stars of the voyage.
As the Allure of the Seas continued its journey, the stowaway ducks became a symbol of unexpected joy, reminding everyone aboard that the adventure of a cruise can come with delightful surprises, even from nature itself.
