EggDropErin Posted January 8, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I would assume so since they didn't list specific ships as having this....but I don't know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanantoniored Posted January 8, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2006 On all of my RCL cruises, there has been a sign-up book at the tour desk (right next to the sign-up book for the passenger talent show) for Sabbath Services. RCL also asks for a passenger volunteer to conduct the services. For routine sailings, no Rabbi is contracted by RCL. RCL provides minimal prayer books, wine and a fresh Chala. Shabat shalom!

richbum Posted January 8, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2006 You mentioned that you can pay the pursors desk $100 for unlimited usage. Is this for your own laptop, or the ships computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBeamTX Posted January 8, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2006 You mentioned that you can pay the pursors desk $100 for unlimited usage. Is this for your own laptop, or the ships computer? It's $100/week for unlimited dial-up access in your cabin with your own laptop. Not lightning fast, but adequate for email. I even emailed photos back to my sister from our Panama Canal cruise. We also used AOL's IM program to "chat" real time. This was very useful, since we were gone for two weeks. Happy cruising, Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
