RCCL Cruisers who sailed during Christmas - Religious Services?

[SanFranBayCruiser]

Hello Fellow Cruisers! I'd like to know if Royal Caribbean offered any type of Religious Service during the Christmas sailings? If so, was it non-denominational or was Catholic mass available? If services were held, was it Christmas eve or Christmas day? Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Just returned from the Mariner of Seas 10 day holiday cruise and had a WONDERFUL time. They had a midnight mass in the theater, which was Catholic. On Christmas morning, they had a Catholic Mass. There were non-demoninational services listed in the cruise compass. There were masses everyday in the Lotus Lounge. Also, b/c Hanukah fell during the cruise, there was a Menorah lighting every night in the Windjammer. Apparently, both a priest and a rabbi were on our sailing.

I've been on two Christmas cruises, and they both had a priest on board for daily mass, and there was a Midnight Mass Christmas eve. I doubt if RCCL sponsors it, but any ship with a priest on board will have daily mass....and like all of us they love to cruise.

Ditto for Splendour - DH went to midnight mass on Christmas Eve and other services were offered as well.

Just back from the Serenade...there was a midnight mass and a Christmas morning mass. We went to the midnight mass. We are not Catholic, but went to it any way to be able to attend a service. We were very welcomed, even though we were not sure of some of the things being done. The sevice was good for us.
