Cruise Lines

Elecraft mailing list
Lots of great info, thanks.  I looked at the boarding documents and the same language is on the “restricted items” list in bold print.  Don’t want to mention the cruise line, but Mickey has pooped on my plans.

It’s a small world after all...

Yes, RC prohibits amateur radio gear, but will happily sell you personal walkie talkies at the gift shop to talk to your far-flung mates on board ... perhaps the same thought as prohibiting bringing your own liquor on board.

I no longer remember his call but I worked an XE who was an officer on Harmony
of the Seas.  He had a shack on board.  That thing is about the size of Rhode
Island.

Re: Cruise Lines

Elecraft mailing list
You might want to consider this when you plan your next cruise.  There are some cruise lines that permit ham radio when approved ahead of time.  I have read many blog posts about the fun that can be had.

Each cruise line has their own private island and a few years ago while lying in a hammock on one of them I had a Sony radio and was listening around the ham bands.  I was so surprised with the activity on most of the ham bands and so wished I had a xmtr with me.  I would say a KX 2 and the new Elecraft AX 1 antenna might be a blast even now and I doubt there would be any problem from anyone.  They are all having fun or watching their kids on the beach.

In reply to this post by Paul Antos
What I find interesting is their using the government supplied scanning
equipment for free to remove any personnel alcohol, and increase their
profit margin.75$ for a 7$ bottle of wine?! Along with the sub standard
entertainment on board, bad food, etc. I avoid cruises like the plague.
