Ham Radio Use on Cruise Ships

[world_traveler46]

For all the Hams out there, have you used or wanted to use your Ham radio aboard a cruise ship?

 

What was the procedure for the cruise line you were on?

 

What equipment did you use?

 

How successful were you?

I am currently working through this process and will update as I receive more information.

 

Send a fax between 45-15 days prior to your cruise to Anita Sims at +1-661-284-4745 with the following information:

• Return Fax Number
  
• Details of Equipment
  
• Frequency of Operation
  
• Maximum Power Used
  
• Copy of License
  

 

She will fax back an agreement that has to be signed and returned.

 

From what I understand from reading the ARRL info, we also need a reciprocal permit from Bermuda, the country of registry for Princess ships.

 

If anyone has more detailed information, please add it here.
