Start now. The phone is a nightmare, there. Best bet would be to get
someone to go directly and make applicaiton for all.
Used to be 25$ YEARLY. That is if you got your reciprocral licsence
this year, then wanted to operate 5 years hence, pay the full amount
or be a pirate!
Been there, done that, got the cards.
Be aware that the rules change. A cautious man would visit.
Last I heard, /C6A was copying Dominica's policy. The license was
available at customs (presuming prior submisson of docs and $$$ .)

Plus a $10 application fee, and both fees cover only one year at a time (in
case you plan to take more than one cruise over more than one year's time).
You need a General Class license or better to apply. And you need to start
making these arrangements a few months ahead of time, mot at the last
minute. All very reasonable requirements, but just sayin' that this is not
something you can decide to do o a whim without serious planning.Oh, and
you are only covered while on board the ship in international waters or in
the territorial waters of the Bahamas. Again, very reasonable but worthy of
a little pre-planning.
Enjoy your cruise. I have enjouyed several (radioless, alas).

It's not Bahamian registry guys, I would recommend that you let Clayton
and the organizers get the specific information out before you jump.
There are 10 months to the cruise, right now. Don't want to miss the
opportunity to hear you on the Foxes! :-)

Hi!
It has already been established that the Carnival Liberty
is flagged in Panama, not the Bahamas. Bahamian licensing
is different, and not relevant to the Symposium cruise.
In addition to obtaining the IARP, a letter must also be
sent to the Panamanian authorities outlining where and when
you would be operating from Panamanian territory. The Radio
Club de Panama explains this in English at:
http://www.qsl.net/hp1rcp/PANAMA%20AMATEUR%20RADIO%20LICENSING%20INFORMATION.h
tm
Unfortunately there isn't a mailing address, FAX number, or
e-mail address for that office. I will send an e-mail to that
club, asking for more contact information for that office.
As I mentioned earlier this week, a notification is a lot
better than having to file paperwork for a permit from the
Panamanian authorities, and especially if a fee is required
(like with a Bahamaian amateur license). The IARP should be
sufficient for operation in international waters from that
ship, or if the ship was in Panamanian territorial waters
(it won't be, for this cruise).
When the ship is in US territorial waters, an FCC-issued
license or other license/permit recognized by FCC Part 97
(CEPT radio amateur license, CEPT novice radio amateur
license, IARP, or licenses from other countries covered
by other recpirocal operating agreements with the USA)
would cover that. The cruise won't spend much time in US
territorial waters, for what it's worth.
Since the Mexican licensing authority is not currently
issuing new amateur licenses or permits, there is basically
no chance of operating from Mexican territorial waters
or from Cozumel unless you already hold a Mexican license
or permit. Mexico does not recognize CEPT or IARP arrangements.
Even though some countries, like the USA, have a reciprocal-
operating agreement with Mexico, this does not allow foreign
hams to operate from Mexican territory without first obtaining
a Mexican permit. Those permits were not cheap (my last Mexican
permit in 2010 cost a total of US$ 125), was valid only for
6 months, and had "strings" (no operating from Mexican islands,
no operating in contests or DXpeditions).
73!

I wanted to operate the sats on the Norwegian Jewel, also of Bahama
registry, so I called Norwegian and asked if it was okay to do so. I was
told emphatically NO! So I left my radio gear home last September when we
took our Alaskan cruise. However, while on board and talking to the first
officer, I was told that since the cruise line abides by international law
the captain would have no problem with allowing the use of my portable
satellite station.
Therefore, I concluded that it is better to ask forgiveness than to ask
permission. The worst thing that could have happened is that my radio
equipment was confiscated which I could have recovered at the end of the
cruise. I really wanted to be able to activate some of those rare CO grids!
