Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

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

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. Wes  N7WS On 10/16/2019 5:13 PM, Joseph Shuman via Elecraft wrote: Lots of great info, thanks. I looked at the boarding

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. Paul NS2N Get Outlook for Android

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... Keeping Watch- shu Joe Shuman

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

Yes, cruise lines and their captains are all over the map on ham radio. FWIW, I sailed from FO to VP6 in June/July this year with a letter of authorization to operate in FO. On the M.S. Paul Gaugin, I requested and received permission to operate on board. I first asked our cabin steward who sent a

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

Don't know if this info will help but ... in 2005, we booked a cruise on Princess from Ft. Lauderdale thru the Canal to Los Angeles.  It was 16 days which was about 5 days too many, I really began to get tired of the Big White Boat.  The Canal transit was fantastic though.  I wrote to Princess

I just went on Royal Caribbean and right in the list of prohibited articles such as guns, knives, explosives etc.   They list Ham Radio equipment as prohibited. Rich K3RWN On 10/16/2019 10:48 AM, Joseph Shuman via Elecraft wrote: Going on a cruise in a few months, so I emailed the cruise

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

Hello, Joe, Yeah, operating on a cruise line is tricky. I talked to someone a couple of weeks ago that organises cruises with amateur operation, and he made it clear it is not straightforward. I think the ARRL has a decent page on operting on international waters at

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

Seems to me you can bring your radio on board, just not operate! What if you want to operate on one of the stops??? I personally wouldn't have contacted the cruise line, I'd  bring the radio on board and talk to the captain, explaining you are doing HF and not interfering whatsoever. You

Re: [Elecraft] Cruise Lines

Joe - A few years ago tethered was a QCWA group that cruised in the Caribbean on a Holland America ship. They had two stations set up with permission of the Cruise Line. It turns out that the fellow who played in the Piano Bar each evening was also a Ham and operated as well. I worked them from
