Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 me wifey me second set of eyes, often sees what I don't; our first cruise together 7-nights soon; ship has 3700+ capacity; our cabin includes 150 Internet minutes, that's 21 min/day approx; Belize Honduras & at sea not in our phone plan; any tricks for how we can inform each other where we are when apart? ship extra minutes are pricey... we could Whats App or text for 30 sec on the hour every hour but risk forgetting to disconnect...

Michael Ventura Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Have you considered walkie-talkies? This pair on Amazon has a 6 mile range, so they say. I used to use a pair of Motorola and they were great. Edited December 11, 2023 by Michael Ventura 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted December 12, 2023 Author Share Posted December 12, 2023 whoops, high IQ wifey reports our cruise line forbids use on ship: cross bows drones fresh cut flowers WALKIE TALKIES amongst other things... the ship monetizes a lot of services compared to my previous cruises 23+ years ago** so walkie talkie ban is no surprise... **those were all comped assignments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
