Can't help you much but the last cruise I was on in 2004 was Royal Carribbean and they had a 800 mhz digital trunk system in use on the ship and I was using an analog hand held scanner so I dind't hear anything. Don't know about Carnival.

As jack pointed out [Thanks, was out of town for the week] check out my web page. You will find many of the Ships use the same Channels [different PL/DPL] or Channel plan for each line.

As always, Post back what you find, as the big part of Re-Confirmation of the frequencies to Validate they are still in use.

The Destiny is one, that I have No Reports on, so Be the First

Carnivals typical Channel plan is
Ch.01 457.5250 R
Ch.02 457.5500 R
Ch.03 457.5750 R
Ch.04 468.3250 S
Ch.05 469.9500 S
Ch.06 464.2750 S
Ch.07 464.3000 S
Ch.08 464.3250 S

Also, when are you going? Other ships will be in port also, and I can get you a pretty good list of them..
Date Leaving and Ports...

Which RCCL ship?
The only 800 Reports on the Hi-Seas has been Disney.

I believe it was Explorer of the Seas.

EOS is a UHF Rptr System.

Many ships do exploit the On-Board Telephone system [never searched, it might be 800/900] for additional Comms.

I'll be on the Destiny out of Miami August 24th were stopping in Grand Turk, Half moon cay and Nassau i only noticed a few number of handhelds last time (this is my 2nd trip on the destiny) and was primarily intrested in Operations arriving/departing port as I have a feeling about the only thing I will be hearing while at sea wont be much but I'm dying to hear the corrdination and operations especially when departing Miami since most of the ships sail within like a 2 hour window

ecps92 · #11 (**permalink**) 04-17-2009, 11:21 AM

You should encounter
24th - Carnival Imagination and RCCL Majesty of the Seas
28th - Canival Glory, Carnival Sensation and Disney Wonder [800 TRS]
29th - RCCL Liberty of the Seas and Carnival Liberty.

Well your in-luck. Someone just returned from a trip on
the Destiny and found One channel in use, there might be
others as well.

WOO HOO INFO!!!! ill definatly monitor and report back ASAP <maybe even from the boat if SWMBO will allow it

ecps92 · #14 (**permalink**) 04-23-2009, 01:10 PM

I'm sure there are more, but it's a START on what to keep a Priority on.

Some channels don't get used in PORT [Casino], also depending on Ports and Interference
from other Ships, they may change channels from time-time.

I was just on the other small sister ship (Pacific Princess - 679 Passengers).

Looking at ecps92 Cruise ship page. Only had 1 freq for the ship listed.

(No cordless/wireless ship system phones on this ship like on bigger ships)

Someone doing this cruise(per the front desk). Someone flushed down a bathroom hand towel down the toilet. Since it fell in and tried to flush it down!

They fixed it about 2 hours later!

Thanks for the Info on the Pacific. I think the Royal, Pacific & Tahatian all have the same equipment installed when they were built. Sounds like they are all configured the same with different ctcss tones. The Tahatian had the same paging but I did not list and who wants to listen to pagin tones all the time.

Thanks for the updates guys, always nice to see NEW Ships being found

Updating these this weekend, and towards the fall look for a new Design for the Cruise Ship Frequencies pages....

aensr,

If you want to research it some more. Look at the Oceana Cruises 3 ships on ecps92 cruise freq page. They are sisters ships with Pacific & Tahatian . Since they were the old Renaissance Cruises ships.
Renaissance Cruises - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Each ship used the same paging freq. Some other related stuff you and I logged this past week.

aensr · #20 (**permalink**) 07-27-2009, 10:48 AM

I was on the Emerald in May, the following frequencies were in use during the cruise.

457.550 Output 467.550 Input ctcss 118.8 Deck Department & Command
457.5625 Output 467.5625 Input ctcss 118.8 Engineering Department
457.575 Output 467.575 Input ctcss 118.8 Hotel Department
457.525 Paging Crew

The casino has its own channel but I did not write it down, it is simplex only anyway.
There is also a paging channel for the beepers they give you for dining waits and I did not write that down either.
