Hi,

Solo traveler. Got 1 free at sea specialty dining.  Bought 3 additional specialty dining. Plus, it seems that I get one additional specialty for Platinum status.  So  5 specialty dining events.  However, I can't reserve a party of one.  Should I be a "walk in" ?  If I can't get what I paid for I want a refund.  Is that fair?

I would like to use (less than 5 Watt) Amateur (HAM) Radio in the 144-148MHz and/or 440-450 MHz range. As a licenced US amateur I can operate in international waters and in many countries that have reciprocal operating agreements with the US. Other countries offer licencing for a modest charge. Especially the Cayman Islands. I understand that it's my responsibility to be legal in local jurisdictions. Having said that, I understand that all those (apparently legal FRS walkie-talkies) are not prohibited. (They're annoying on a ship.)

Anyhow, the use cases that I would consider are: (1) onboard from on-deck to other hams on nearby ships on the international (ham-only) calling frequencies of 146.52 or 446.00 MHz. (2) personal use to contact ham friends in foreign countries where I am permitted. This would be a lot of fun and should not impact the ship operation in any way.

Any advice on how to pursue this with NCL?

I just noted that "HAM Radios" are a PROHIBITED ITEM on NCL. Read the list :-) Does anybody have any further information or experiences. Seems that we should be allowed to carry VHF/UHF HTs and use them in international waters and in our home country waters. Cayman Islands and Bahamas licenses are available also. (not free) de KC8CF
