Hi Warren and welcome to LCT! I have used my laptop's webcam to talk to my husband every night on a cruise and it worked fine. I even took my laptop out on the balcony so he could see the scenery as it went by. We connected though AIM and I liked that there was no several second delay as there is when you use the ship's phone.
