T-388 Walkie Talkie 对讲机

Has anyone used walkie-talkie to get in touch with family and friends on a ship?

I have used walkie talkies on ships for YEARS. Love having them when we split up from a group. great with kids who want some independent time but them want to meet back up in a bit. great on shore when splitting up instead of cell phones. Mine even reach ship to shore to communicate with someone who wanted to stay on ship in port.

Walkie talkies came in very handy on our last couple cruises, especially with kids.. but also communications with the spouse. The ships are so large that it does make it difficult sometimes if you're on opposite ends or there is lots of structure between.

But definitely look into it as a viable option for communication. Don't go all out and buy the expensive ones, we found the cheap old ones that took 2 AA batteries worked better than our newer fancy rechargeable ones!
Just keep in mind many others might also be using them and you'll want to use an obscure channel.. Something like 12-4 or other off the norm frequency besides the standard 1-1, 2-1,3-1, etc. You will understand when you see the walkie talkies.
