I have packed the radio gear. We will be on the Carnival Liberty so if you want to track us it might be fun.
I know I will work sats SO-50 and FO-29. Are there other sats I should consider?
We leave Port Canaveral sometime on Sunday (day after tomorrow )

Now there's a ship that's seen plenty of Arrows recently!
SO-50 might be tricky with Yuri sailing through the Atlantic to Mexico at this time. For the same reason, you might want to avoid the middle of FO-29. With your proximity to the US, passes of all satellites should have some activity, so any that work around your schedule should work out!

If you locate yourself on the starboard (right) side of the ship when you are leaving port, people can see you at the following URL:
http://portcanaveralwebcam.com/
This a webcam that watches the ships coming and going out of the port. If you have a balcony on that side or best yet be on the upper decks, you can be seen there.
