jcruise67 Posted February 8, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2006 :eek: :cool: Any advice on a GREAT quality 2 way radio system that actually works on cruise ships? If you cruise often then you'll know that two-way radios are essential on a cruise ship. I purchased the motorola radios. I went towards the expensive side because we'll always have them for other things we do, but mostly for cruises. They have 12 channels and you can lock them on any channel you choose. Just be careful that you don't pick up someone else on the radios becuase they are quite popular to have and many pax will have them as well. Just go on a channel that is empty and lock it in for your family or group. We have used them for all of our cruises and couldn't be happier. I would say there more essential than ever now, especially with all the media hype about recent pax going awry on the cruise ship. The motorolas are equipped with call buttons too to alert anyone in your party. They do become a lifline for when you become separated from the group. jcruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobore Posted February 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The radios are a great idea. Any truth that some ship lines frown on them. An associate was mentioning a story where the staff was frustrated by them, I am not sure if this is due to the noise or interference???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstrege Posted February 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Good luck finding an open channel. We gave up on them in the middle of our last cruise and won't be taking them along this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsinmo Posted February 8, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Ours have 38 sub-channels on each of the regular 22 channels. So you can always find an open channel. We took them last year on the Conquest and never had a reception problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
