    Does anyone have experience with finding/arranging a minyan on a cruise (not a “kosher” cruise)such as Royal Caribbean? How would I go about finding other frum people on the cruise?

    Forget a minyan. What about kosher food? Or, more fundamentally, a kosher crowd.

    Find a kosher crowd first and you won’t be on a cruise that you are looking for a minyan on.

    My parents took several cruises on the QE2. There was a kosher kitchen, a shule, and minyanim.

    If you order Kosher Food on a cruise, they will give it to you, Its Airline food

    Aside from the kosher TV dinners, is anything else “kosher” on a cruise? I assume that there’s a lot that shouldn’t be seen.

    If one wanted to follow a Chumra , almost nowhere could be considered a “Kosher” vacation except maybe Jerusalem

    Kosher food or Minyanim can be sparse in most places and I know people who assur Disney (Kol Isha at the Parade?)

    Why should a Disney parade with Kol Isha NOT be assur. Of course it would be assur.

    You can go to Disney without seeing the Parade, I saw lots of frum people there including Chassidim (And they were at the Parade)

    Why not? It is a human doing the singing.

    Actually they dont sing at the Parade , Its piped in music and they Lip Synch

    The disney characters like Minnie Mouse are not allowed to talk to the guests

    Even if that’s true you are still listening to recorded singing of a woman.

    and it’s more than one person singing at the same time, so kol isha may not necessarily apply.

    When people post a question, they are looking for an answer. DUH! So, if you have an answer for the question, then answer it! If you don’t, then don’t. If you feel that people shouldn’t go on cruises then feel free to start a thread about cruises. This one is about a minyan on a cruise!!

    On the non-kosher cruises the minyan is usually after the daf yomi shiyur, not.

    OP here.

    Thank you all for your responses – for the “mussar” as well. This cruise is something that has been offered to us, not something which we have sought out, so we had been wondering if it was something to even consider…..Thank you again! And to funnybone – I couldn’t have said it better myself.

    I know a frum couple that takes non-kosher cruises. They subsist on canned tuna and the fresh fruit available to everyone. At the end of the cruise they are the only passengers who didn’t gain weight!

    Is anyone still reading this thread?

    We’ve gone on 5 cruises, some with a minyan, othertimes not so successful. Food is totally a non-issue. Aside from cholov yisroel milk, which we bring with us, the cruise provides a vast array of pre-packaged, doubled sealed meals, and all the whole, uncut fresh fruits and vegetables you want. just bring along a peeler and knife.

    More info if you need.
