Renting Two-Way Radios Onboard Conquest

[texas greeneyes]

Now, before I ask the question, let me prepare. (Dons fire retardant full body armor :rolleyes: ).

 

How much do the walkie-talkies or two-way radios rent for on the Conquest?

 

Okay, fire away!!

Buy your own- by the time you rent two of them plus the batteries-- you could have outfitted your whole family with one.

 

We used the motorala talk abouts (or was it cobra??) 2 miles with 22 subchannels. battery charger (important) or your wills eat up the batteries every day)

 

Now that being said== they are more hassle then worth it. You will pick up every ones personal conversation.. all the kids that are screaming in it for mom and dad to pick up-- (mom and dads number the hundreds..pick another name.

 

Last two cruises we found that voice mail on the cabin telephone worked a whole lot better for us.

Good advice; I will keep it in mind. Tell me, please, how much the ones you bought cost, and where you purchased them? Also still want to know what the rental fees onboard are, just in case. Thanks again!

i got one pair off ebay for 25.00 (thats a pair) carnival rents them for about 35.00 for one (you do need a set to work)

 

the other pair i got in wlamart for about 25.00

 

when you get into your cabin-- set the voice mail and give everyone the passcode. use any public phone to access it. (figured that one out on the Miracle...lol)
