It's not Bahamian registry guys, I would recommend that you let Clayton and the organizers get the specific information out before you jump. There are 10 months to the cruise, right now. Don't want to miss the opportunity to hear you on the Foxes! :-)

Plus a $10 application fee, and both fees cover only one year at a time (in case you plan to take more than one cruise over more than one year's time). You need a General Class license or better to apply. And you need to start making these arrangements a few months ahead of time, mot at the last minute. All very reasonable requirements, but just sayin' that this is not something you can decide to do o a whim without serious planning.Oh, and you are only covered while on board the ship in international waters or in the territorial waters of the Bahamas. Again, very reasonable but worthy of a little pre-planning.
Enjoy your cruise. I have enjouyed several (radioless, alas). 73 de W0JT/5

Except the fact that all the Carnival ships are of Bahamian registry and that, under international regulations, one must have a Bahamas reciprocal license to operate aboard the ship. Such a license is available but does cost $25.00.

I just read the complete list of prohibited and confiscated items. Under EXCEPTIONS I found the following:
- Ham Radios/Amateur Radio Equipment: Permitted to be used on board.
Looks like we do not even need to ask permission. Terrific!!!!!
