I don't think they chartered the whole ship, just a large party composed mostly of hams on a cruise with other paid customers. Read her QRZ.com N5DSR page describing their cruise activities: "....HAM CRUISE #6 - January 12-19, 2019 has been approved and we are good to go!...." ----- Roger W5RDW -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/
