erin327 Posted April 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Last year on our Royal Caribbean cruise, a priest said mass on the Sunday morning on board. Is this ever an option on Carnival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Only if there is a priest onboard willing to do so. masstimes.org should have the times of mass in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin327 Posted April 3, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Thanks! Hopefully there will be one on board. We would appreciate it, but it would win big points with my in laws who will be with us and on their first cruise. We will certainly use masstimes.org to find a mass the day we disembark. We are doing the 8 night Breeze cruise though, so we board on Saturday morning and don't disembark until the following Sunday. We won't be able to do mass in port that first weekend.

Destinyinspirationdream Posted April 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Also, I'm sure many priest won't be vacationing during Easter Sunday, if that is what you were wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nybumpkin Posted April 4, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've seen Catholic priests offer Mass on a couple of our cruises, but it's not regularly scheduled - it does depend on whether there is a priest on board who can conduct Mass. Our parish priest is a regular cruiser who gets a discount on his cruises by offering services aboard ship (not Carnival). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted April 4, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I've not had a Mass on a Carnival ship. I have been to Masses on other cruiselines, but since I've been sailing pretty much exclusively Carnival the past several years, there has not been a priest who has had a Mass.

erin327 Posted April 4, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Will it be a high holy day? I'm a rather bad Catholic. :rolleyes: Not a Holy day. Just a Sunday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 4, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Does any cruise ship line have a small, dedicated chapel? And for those here on cruise critic that are Christian, Happy Easter. Many ships have Chapels. Carnival Spirit class does, Fantasy class does not. The four Princess ships I've been on do. The chapels are used for other things. Friends of Bill meetings. We had Chinese Karaoke scheduled in the Golden Princess chapel. Know this because our cabin was across the hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 5, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Matter of point ... Any Jewish service onboard has just had the set up, no clergy. Jewish services do not require any clergy. Only a person knowledgable enough to lead them and 10 people ( over 13yo) for certain prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
