Norwegian Cruise liner Escape, frequencies?

[jlp]

I'm planning a trip on the Norwegian Cruise Liner Escape.

Bringing the SDS100 for shipboard VHF/UHF comms.

The Tecsun with AM loop for SWL/BCB.

I have the DMR option installed on the SDS, just can't find what freqs the Escape uses for on board comms.

first, you had better be certain you’ll be allowed to bring that radio onboard.

You might want to check with Norwegian and see what you can and cannot bring on board.

You should plan on putting all the Norwegian frequencies from this site in, and see if any work: Cruise Ship & Maritime Frequencies

I called customer relations, scanners are allowed. NO amateur radios/ walkie talkies.

good but do yourself a favor and see what their *written* policy is. should be something on their website.

Here is their written policy.
Prohibited Items List

Please note, you cannot bring a ham radio or a Samsung Note 7. There is no listing for Scanners or Shortwave receivers.

then the OP should be set. it pays to know.

NCL has been moving to DMR, however no reports for the Escape.

99.9999% of ships use the same frequencies.
457.5000 - 457.8250
467.5000 - 467.8250
Whether they use the 457 or 467 as the output, varies by who did the programming.

True, however most LE or Security at the Port check-in have no idea, other than it is a radio
For the OP, YMMV

Norwegian Cruise Line after trip summary

Port, NYC, ship NCL Escape.

The SCS100 was flagged/held at security. They sent the radio to the ship, where they advised me to see Customer Relations

I was escorted to an off limits crew area, where I talked to a very nice officer, (Commander, 3 full stripes on uniform)

He wasn't aware what the radio was used for, I explained it was to monitor Coast Guard, marine freqs, FM radio etc.

I showed him the NCL webpage re scanners NOT being prohibited.

He gave me the radio back, and I told him I'd be discreet (headphones) in order not to alarm anybody.
