Could I use this on a cruise ship?

Technically, you need to get permission from a vessels captain to use any radio equipment at sea. Practically, I don't think you will have any problems using this while in or near a port and that is the only time you will be able to reach a shore based repeater. You are an FCC licensed amateur radio operator aren't you? If not, than this is not the right radio for you. Look for a FRS or MURS radio instead.

I would think that you can. However it would be best to ask the cruise line and make sure that the country you are going to allows you to use the radio.

Yes, programming is required. FRS capable. We talk over 30 miles on 4watts with a home made j pole backpacker antena.

I'm not sure. The manufacturer says you can for the dishes and utensils they make. Couldn't find anything else. My only complaint is the boat is hard to clean inside and I'm sure gets moldy if it doesn't completely dry.

Unsure, I bought it to use on a cruise then found out they did not allow irons onboard. I have not used it.

Once you expose wine to air it begins to change. So I would say yes, but it could be worth a try. But you can bring 1 or 2 bottles aboard most cruise lines, so check into that.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose exactly. The electrical draw of the motor would exceed the capacity of the panel to recharge while in use. However, you could use the panel to charge the battery when not in active use on the boat.

This the great for cruises it saves on space, weight and time. Just put drink in rum runner and pack in suitcase and your good to go.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

Yes. It will work just as well in a boat. Just follow the directions that come with it.

Yes; as long as one does not try to go thru multiple decks as most ships are made of steel. If both are on the same deck I see no problem.

Maybe? I could see it not fitting onto a cruise if the clasp couldn't get wide enough. It could fit some coffee cups. To be honest, its cheap and was good to have while I was on my trainer. I don't take it out into the city anymore for fear of it being stolen and constantly taking it off. Not to mention that it needs constant adjustments, if you hit a pothole big enough at the right speed, this sucker can fall off or turn completely sideways.

I don't see why not. The cart seems pretty sturdy and as long as you strap the boat on securely, I don't see that it should pose any problem. I don't think the weight will be an issue. (I take it that this is not a two-person pedal boat where the two persons sit side by side.)

You could but this is really meant for a more powerful boat. We have a pontoon boat with 150 HP.

We haven't used it on a cruise, but I don't see there being a problem with the grade of the gangway for most ships in most ports. There could be a problem in certain ports at high tide, but for the most part I don't see a problem.

Haven't used it in that setting. Mostly on the road with other vehicles. Works great! Seems that I read if some who successfully used theirs on cruise ships.

It can. But it is not recomended. If used in saltwater you should remove the propeller and the shaft. Use a pipe cleaner inside the shaft housing. Then reoil with white litheom grease. Alot of work, but if you don t do this after a saltwater run. It will rust a the shaft will seize up. I trashed one in saltwater. I no longer run in saltwater at all.

I wouldn't use it on a boat. It gets condensation in it when you're sitting out in the rain: I'm most certain it would get ruined being in such a water rich environment.

Possibly.... but pretty sure you want a vhf marine radio.... check with a boating store that deals with ocen going sailcraft..... (a bit pricer.. but more to what your needs would be)
