No one complained that there wasn't any matzoh.

Was on a cruise over passover 4 years ago. I think there were Passenger led seders and Matzah was available upon request.

But was it kosher for Passover Matzah? :)

What's the difference apart from the colour of the packet. Same ingredients!

It's to do with kitniyot..... not about to go into the different dietary regs between Ashke**** and Sephardi here. (CC replaced the ****)

Also how it's baked. Matzoh for Passover has a strict time limit from water added to fully baked.

We were on the Royal Princess 2 years ago over Passover. At the time it was standard matzah, it wasn't Kosher for Passover- the cheap Manishevitz wine even said "not Kosher for Passover." The supposed matzah ball soup was miso soup with tiny hard balls in it off supposedly matzah meal. We were very disappointed as the meal was truly awful. The passengers that attended including dh and myself, led a "sort of service"--- This was the year that Princess got cheap and would no longer offer any deals for clergy to be on board during major holidays. Any way, we decided in the future not to book any cruises with Princess over Passover time in the future. And I should mention, we are very reform!

They usually do in both the dining rooms and the buffet, but you have to ask for it.

 

Hardest part is finding someone to ask who knows what you are talking about. You might want to bring a picture of it from home (maybe a picture from an old package).

Good point. You can bring your own Kosher for Pesach matzah if you would like.

 

You can also order kosher meals through Princess, though I am not sure if they will be Passover Kosher.

Chabad and Shmurah is a whole different ball game.

We avoid Shmurah at all costs, though it's probably better the Imodium when needed.

The last line of that article is interesting."There is no obligation to eat matzah during the remaining days of Passover". I never knew that, but totally agree!
