When I went on the USS Reagan about the only places I can remember not being allowed were the bridge and the "nuke" area. Anywhere else we were allowed to go we were told we could take pictures and videos. I remember too that they did not want us taking pictures into the engine intakes on the aircraft. Have a great time!

I just went on the USS Enterprise Tiger Cruise in November.  They did not have restrictions on cell phone use.  Used it until left port then changed it to airplane mode to save battery.  Used regular camera & cell camera all the time.  The closer you get to land the better signal you will have.  But really no service until you are probably less than a mile of port.  You will have fun.  Good luck!

John,

When I went at the end of 2010, there weren't specific cell phone restrictions but there were areas where photography was not allowed. My cell phone didn't get service until we were pretty close to port. I would go with whatever you are most comfortable taking pictures with. It was nice to be able to post a pic of my son and I together right after I got on the ship after not seeing him for 7 months. Have a great time!

Question? I am going on a Tiger Cruise in April. I am wanting to know if I will be able to use my Cell phone as a camera and to take videos? I am not sure if you have to keep cell phones off on the cruise and not utilize the photo part of the phone. Will I need to take a standard camera and keep the Phone turned off?
