Creator's Key Takeaways

The problem with a cruise ship is that it's made of metal. Therefore, you lose a lot of your signal range that you would have without that metal interference.

At the ports, you have no idea how easily you can lose somebody that was standing right in front of you and they disappeared into a rack.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use walkie-talkies while in port to avoid losing group members in crowds.

✓Be aware that metal ship construction blocks signals between rooms or floors.

YouTube Video Description↓

Many cruisers pack walkie talkies expecting them to work throughout the ship—but here's what you need to know before you bring them! ❌ They don't work well between decks. The ship's steel construction blocks radio signals, making communication from one deck to another unreliable. ✅ They work great in port! They're perfect for staying in touch while shopping, heading to the beach, exploring shore excursions, or when your group splits up on land. 💡 Quick Tips: ✔️ Use the same channel on every radio. ✔️ Fully charge the batteries before heading out. ✔️ Keep messages short and clear. ✔️ Protect them from water and sand.
