Just got off Carnival Ecstasy last Friday. We used a very low end Motorola (T6300 series) short mile range/lots of channels two way radio. We had NO PROBLEM on the ship. NEVER had anyone cross our channel (we were all on channel 8) and we were running 5 radios on this channel. LOVED having a way to communicate with the kids and still let them have some freedom. We actually found that they checked in with us more often than necessary -- but loved being able to know where they were. If you have kids..... it's truly a must have on a cruise.
