Does Regent Generally have Jewish High Holiday Services on the Ship?

[edgee]

We are considering a cruise (Mariner trans Atlantic) which falls on the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Does Regent generally have a Rabbi on the ship to conduct services during the High Holy Days?

I can't help with New Hear but Hanukkah was celebrated on the Navigator but this was supported by the Cruise Director, Ray together with the guests who wished to take part - I didn't see a Rabbi.

We did a TA over Passover one year and there were services and a special meal. There was a Rabbi on board, but he was a passenger. All were invited and it was a great learning experience for many. Regent organized activities with the Rabbi's supervision.

It depends entirely on the Cruise Director. I wouldn’t depend on it.
 

In my experience of four cruises, a time and room are offered for Shabbat services, along with challah, kosher wine, and abbreviated prayer books, and interested passengers lead their own services.

 

I wouldn’t expect High Holiday services to be any different.

One Regent cruise we were on had a Rabbi, who was a passenger, conduct the services.  Otherwise, services are always conducted by passengers.  On a Mariner cruise March, 2022, it was Purim and a group of us participated in the entire Meggelah, provided by the ship (I believe), along lots of appropriate food and drinks.  I would expect the same for Rosh Hashanah.
