Thirsty Cruiser Posted October 4, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 4, 2007 My experience is that they are unreliable on the ship, depending on how much metal (decks, walls) you have between transmitter and receiver. You should check local laws before using in port, although you can probably get away with a FRS radio with no trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THERUDYS Posted October 4, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 4, 2007 We've used them before and will use them for upcoming cruise. No problems on board and had no trouble in ports. I guess it depends on how long the range is. BTW, we are adults and used them sparingly so as not to disturb anyone around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave 'em home and use the voice mail system or post-its. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSUgirl17 Posted October 4, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'm so glad I saw this post because I'm making my packing list and I left these off! We used them on the Miracle in 4/2005 and in ports and had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
