Church services?
 
Hi We will be cruising on the Zenith, a first time cruise. We are catholic and would like to know if they ahve Sunday services. thanks

Most lines do not offer a Sunday morning service on a regular basis, and if they do offer anything it is usually not specific to any one denomination. <BR>Often, if a minister is traveling on that ship he/she will offer to hold a "non-denominational" service. <BR>I have been to many of these services and they are very nice. Perhaps the nicest part is that you have many different denominations coming together to share in a common belief, even thought they each have different churchs they choose to attend. <BR>When you get on the ship ask the Purser about any service, but don't be surprised if nothing is offered. <BR>If you have any other questions please contact me at the email address listed above. <BR>Best wishes and enjoy the cruise!

Hi Donna: <BR>We have sailed on Horizon and Century, both Celebrity ships, and they did have Mass on board. As I recall, it may have been daily, but for sure on Sunday. We will sail again on Century in July as we are great fans of Celebrity. Have a wonderful trip!

There is almost always a priest onboard Celebrity cruises, and Mass is usually celebrated daily at 8:00 a.m.

<BR>We have never missed Mass on a sunday cruise. There has always been a priest aboard. We have been on many ships and cruises. (10)

To ditto the above, we just returned on the Zadaam (HAL) and I can report we did have a priest onboard who held Mass on Sunday as well as Friday evening.
