Sandy R Posted February 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We'll be on the Sapphire in April... can you rent walkie-talkies on the ship? If not, anyone have a pair they can recommend that aren't too expensive? Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneharborlady Posted February 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2009 No, I dont believe the ship rents them. The childrens area does give some kind of communication device if you have kids in the programs, maybe a beeper of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croptop Posted February 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I can't answer for the Saphire Princess but I did see a sign advertising 2-way radios available for rent on CB during the 01-08 Feb '09 sailing. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted February 12, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm pretty sure that the Sapphire does offer walkie-talkies for rent. But you can probably get some cheaper at your local Target or WalMart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenphan Posted February 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Not sure about Sapphire, but Ruby does rent out walkie-talkies for a nominal fee, so i presume Sapphire might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark213 Posted February 12, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Probably wont work fantastically well if one is deep inside the ship due to all the metal about. Worth a try if you take your own though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNT Posted February 12, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2009 While aboard the CB last summer, we were amazed how well the low power walkie-talkies worked. Even deep in the ship (when they were fully charged). we were able to communicate perfectly. They were particularly handy at the ports-of-call when the family would go their separate ways. Buy them at Wal-Mart, and you will have them for your next trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swom Posted February 13, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just remember, others will have walkie talkies too and you'll hear a lot of chatter. You can try and find a channel that's not so "busy", but it's a gamble. Of course, you could learn a lot from listening too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
