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?
This topic comes up over and over, and someday when I retire, I too am going to want to go on cruise, AND take ham radio along, and so I too will be asking this question.
So this is a good INFO topic that we need to collectively nail down, and then get it permanently posted on the AMSAT web page...
Thanks... Then we can UPDATE it as new info comes in (everyone write their cruise ship and indicate you're not taking their cruise if you cannot bring your radio)...

Thanks, Clint -- I noticed that the same cruise line allows walkie-talkies up to 5 watts. That sounds like an HT to me, but we'll see.

Yes, your cruise line (and others) specifically prohibits ham gear ...

Personally, my wife and I found it difficult to find much spare time on
our
week-long cruise from Vancouver to Alaska ... Maybe because it was our
first
cruise ... I imagined relaxing and reclining on deck in a chaise lounge, reading ... that NEVER happened ... (grin)
I would approach your travel agent. He/she know the right people to
contact
for such requests. Ours got some "magic" done for us, and we were very appreciative.
