Scott Wooten Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 This is probably a strange question for many, but I am an amatuer radio operator and would like to bring a device that allows me to practice morse code while I'm at the pool relaxing. Others have books and tablets, I have my morse code practice. Does RCCL allow me to bring an electronic device that happens to also be Wi-Fi capable onto the ship? It won't interfere with any communications or electronics, but I don't want to risk it being confiscated. Thanks in advance for input. BTW......sailing out of Galveston on Liberty October 9th.

CrznTxn Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 As long as it does not actually transmit it is permissible per international laws. The big question is whether or not the inspection folks will let you through with it or confiscate it and return it at the end of the cruise because they do not know what it is. The risk is up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid4c4 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I am a licensed Ham and don't see a problem as long as others won't be able to here the code you are generating. If I remember my old practice set had a place for headphones. Good luck with your test. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 What exactly is this electronic device? HAM radios aren't allowed since different countries have different rules on transmitting radio waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanHardlyWait Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I can't answer your question. But I can point out if confiscated, it would be returned at weeks end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should hope they allow electronic devices that are Wi-Fi capable...they sell Wi-Fi access! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
