I really think your best bet is instead of looking to other people who have
been on cruise ships. Try to contact a ham on a lake freighter. Contact them
on H.F. I believe they have a net also. When my H.F. station was up and
running I have had some contacts with ships.

Can we nail down all the cruise ships that prohibit it and those that allow
it into a single document. Then provide a link to it on the AMSAT web page?
Not really. The cruise line I used prohibits it - on their Web site. But our
group asked and was allowed free reign with our gear.

That is a LOT more info than NO listing at all.
Bob,
I believe that you will find the corporate answer to ham radio
equipment aboard a ship is no. All lines, standard disclaimer. That
being said, the ships Master (Captain) can grant use of the equipment
on his/her ship during the cruise.
In other words, if you ask corporate offices the will tell
AMATEUR RADIO ON CRUISE LINES
Very few - if any - cruise lines will publicly state that amateur radio gear is
welcome on passenger cruises. As we researched the sites of over 60 lines, most
actually state that amateur radio gear is prohibited on board.
But exceptions are made daily on many
I just do not see the point of a list of cruise lines. Exceptions are made
every day to accommodate guests' requests.
The most accurate, informative, and responsible statement we could make is ...
On most cruise Web sites, you will find that ham radio gear on board is listed
as prohibited. But
... then they can either let me and take my money, or not let me and I'll

This illustrates precisely my earlier point: Some people can socially
engineer and get permission to break the rules for many facets of their
lives.
While others get arrogant
