[amsat-bb] Carnival Cruise Line

[John Toscano]

I see that they also ban laser pointers. I guess that they are afraid
someone is going to blind the ship's captain or navigator while they are
trying to steer the ship into port. So, I guess no Power Point
presentations need be attempted in the future...

I look forward to their answer about the contradictory statements about ham
radio equipment on board.
