davy jones Posted June 22, 2016 #27 Share Posted June 22, 2016 They work fine when both people are on outside deck. Inside they are very spotty, because of all of the steel interfering with the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueCollarCruiser Posted June 22, 2016 #29 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Definitely bring the walkie talkies! They're great for reserving deck chairs! I use mine to discuss with my Pinnacle friends in the suite lounge how much to tip. I would talk to them in person but with the Crown and Anchor changes...

mollyeilis Posted June 22, 2016 #37 Share Posted June 22, 2016 They're really not any more annoying than someone constantly gabbing on their cell phone Which is no more annoying than having more than one human nearby, having a chat. The only difference is that the listener doesn't get to hear both sides of the story. So I believe the TRUE irritation to the listener is that we are nosy but are thwarted with cellphones. Anyway, I'd put the walkies in carryon. We finally saw walkies in action on Freedom in March, and they were working in the elevator. It was pretty spectacular, actually. Crystal clear, too. And not in the least bit irritating; ended up being just like if the girls' dad was in the elevator with them telling them of a change of plans.

akcruz Posted June 22, 2016 #38 Share Posted June 22, 2016 We have used walkie talkies many many times on cruises. They are great onboard and off the ship. Pick a channel that everyone in your group will monitor, that cuts down on chatter. Carry them in your carry on so you can have access when you board before your luggage is delivered. Just be careful if you are using them off the ship as they are illegal in many ports. The local police use the same channels and you can be fined or worse if you do use them there.

ScottC4746 Posted June 22, 2016 #42 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Can I pack them in my carry on or would they be better off in my checked luggage when going through the airport? Thanks All I have to say about walkie talkies on a cruise is, "please don't." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingofwylietx Posted June 22, 2016 #44 Share Posted June 22, 2016 All I have to say about walkie talkies on a cruise is, "please don't." I've seen pax use walkie talkies on ships and it's never bothered me. Quite the opposite, I think it's sort of neat....though it is somewhat rare in my experience. I've also seen all sorts of ship personnel use them. They are not banned, so feel free to take them if you wish. I guess most people that oppose it are concerned that everyone will start to do it...but that seems unlikely. Frankly, I would expect the younger users to use it sparsely once the novelty of having it wears off. Besides that, today's youth are accustomed to having cell phones, so I would think they may use it even less (than 10 years ago) because they won't want to share their conversation with the whole world.
