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.
