That aligns with my experience -- in my case with a Royal Caribbean
(Bahamian) ship, the cruise line was very reluctant -- but the Captain and
Communications Officer were fine with it.
I carried extra printed copies of all such correspondence and other
documentation with me in a binder -- and it came in quite handy when the
cruise coordinator for our group panicked and demanded I justify myself
before they would let me off the boat. All was well when I produced that
copy of the approval e-mail from the Comms Officer.

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!

I checked with Royal Caribbean and they were very firm that Ham radio
was not allowed on any of their ships regardless what the Captain or
comm officer would say. RCCL has it documented in black and white in
their brochures and web site of what was not allowed and Ham
Radio/Amateur radio was specifically mentioned as not being allowed. I
then asked via an email and got the same answer. Via email they tried to
stipulate interference with the on-board equipment, but unlike a plane
there should have been no problem. However, not wanting my equipment
confiscated (and TSA was checking at the security checkpoints) I chose
not to push my luck. Anyways, I was more interested in the cruise than
operation from sea.

I too just went on a RCCL cruise in December. Was stated as not allowed on
their list and I asked on board and was told no and if found would be
confiscated.

Hi,
Just got the excellent clock, and it looks great in the shack. I know this
isn't rocket science, but
how do you reset the maximum and minimum humidity and temperature? All of
the several similar devices
I have or had do so by holding the Min/Max button for several seconds, but
up to a minute does not
work here. Not important, but curious.

Known Tom for a few years (W3IWI/KL7 when he was up here doing
something scientific). Concur with Bob McGwier's comments and praise
for Tom (and he is hard at work for the Amsat future - too!).
Very much deserved! Congrats, Tom.
