Here is the answer I got to my inquiry about bringing ham radio gear on board. It looks like blanket permission since in "Exemptions and Other Considerations" it states "Permitted to be used on board"
Since the ship is registered in Panama all I need to do is contact the ARRL for my IARP Permit. Has anyone had a problem taking an Elk or Arrow antenna on a plane or will it have to go in the belly (extra $25)? (broke down, not together)

My wife, son and I are booked on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean from Miami aboard the Splendor, booking # XXXXXX. As I was reading through the "What to Pack" I clicked on "Prohibited Items", Listed under "Carnival Corporation Prohibited Items" you list "Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios, satellite phones, transformers, lasers and laser pointers" yet under "Exemptions and Other Considerations" you have "Ham Radios/Amateur Radio Equipment: Permitted to be used on board". Can I bring my hand held ham radio on board or not?

We AMSAT cruised, we were constantly being questioned by security folks, especially where we were out at night on deck and aiming our arrows at the sky. It just took persistence and MANY contacts were made by several people.
