Bring handheld VHF radio on a cruise

[ddurand]

Has anyone brought a handheld VHF radio on a cruise to listen to what the bridge is saying?

Would only receive, not transmit.

No, but it might be interesting.

No, but it might be interesting.

What channel might they use?

I think they were using 77 on a cruise we did recently. Crew on a shore excursion (hike) had one to call the tender for us.
