Obie Posted February 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Does anyone know if Oceania has a Catholic Priest on board to say Mass? Both Holland and Crystal did and it was a welcome addition to our trip. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggyann Posted February 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2006 On the four cruises we have taken on the Regatta, there has not been a priest on board (that I know of, perhaps one was a passenger, but not as a chaplain). No mass was offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKI Posted February 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2006 No priest or Rabbi... You have to pray on your own or meet other passengers and have your own services....They will provide a room or area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike35 Posted February 26, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Or Imam:eek: We did have an ordained Jewish cantor on the Insignia during Passover - he conducted a seder. There was also a priest aboard a recent South America Insignia cruise - he conducted mass, if I recall. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickey 88 Posted February 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I understand that usually there are no clerics of any faith on board - unless they are travelling as passengers. However, at some of the more important religious events, Oceania has arranged for an appropriate service on board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obie Posted February 27, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks to all who replied. On one of the old Ren ships in Tahatti, we stepped off the ship and the church was just a few steps agaw. But Mass was just over. Imagine my surprize when the priest said he would drive us to the next village where he was saying another Mass. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirleya53 Posted February 27, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2006 On a two week Celebrity ship there was a priest on board, but he was traveling with a group of people from his church. He said mass every Saturday night in the lounge, and daily mass in the little theater. On a one week Princess cruise to Alaska, there was no mass or priest:( ......that I know of.

lcand1923 Posted February 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 27, 2006 On our first cruise (HAL to Alaska) we attended Sunday Mass. The priest told the passengers on board that HAL is the only line that makes certain a priest sails on each cruise. This is done for the benefit of the crew and the passengers. According to this priest, HAL offers a special rate for the priest. Each of our HAL cruises has HAD a priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
