Hi guys...
I've been meaning to bring this up for a while but haven't really gotten to it.
I took a cruise on the Norwegian Epic a little while ago, their either newest (or if they put the other one in service yet) second newest boat.
I was wondering about something...
I noticed EVERY staff member was carrying what looked like a Motorola cell-phone (I could spot the logo), but was most likely a 900Mhz sort of digital radio. I did some research only found this... SL 7550 Portable Two-way Radio - Motorola Solutions USA But it didn't quite look like what I saw. The ones I saw basically looked like the DTR series with keypads. Although, my memory may have faded a bit since I saw that. IIRC, the staff members just punched in a number to call another staff member on the radio, and there were groups... So like I said, most likely 900Mhz digital sort of thing. Anyone know anything about the actual equipment used, how it works... Their system... Etc?
I also noticed that in the bridge (there's a bridge viewing room) they had a huge wall/shelf setup with quite a few VHF portables being charged, flashlights, maybe some mobiles too. Good to know they're prepared!
If anyone has info as to what they use... Let me know.
