What kind of Walkie Talkie should I buy?

[phoenixlady]

I know that others have posted the type of walkie talkie works best on cruise ships but I can't remember what they were. I've searched the boards but can't find the postings I've seen. Can anyone advise me, please?:confused:

We were on the Navigator in Jan and I got the Deck Phones. You get them onboard at the Purser desk, they have a limited supply so go right away. They are $25 to rent. They are cell phones and have been programmed with a 4 digit number. You can call the number from another deck phone or from any phone onboard. My husband and I had them as we could then seperate with my son and follow up with each other. If they went to nap and I was by the pool they would call me and I would meet up with them. It was handy because we didn't have wait around for each other, you can do your thing and than hook up. You cannot use them off the ship.

For just about the price of the rentals you can get a set of cobra or uniden, we picked up 2 for 34.00, now they have the 18 channels 38 private channels and the weather on the local NOAA we actually were getting the weather while in san juan, I was on deck 6 in the cabin, my wife was up on deck 12 and we were chatting

 

Just a thought

I think the best ones to buy are the ones with a vibrate mode so you don't annoy others. :)
