Review summary

We left on Saturday. Sunday was an at sea day. We are Roman Catholic and take our Sunday Mass obligation seriously. On Monday, we met 2 Catholic Priests on board (there were a total of 4 on board) and yet not one was given a space to hold a service or allowed to advertise for a Sunday Mass. But every day in the "daily cruise schedule" the LGBT community were able to advertise for their nightly meeting. Or "Friends of so and so" meet in room…" I was discouraged that the same respect was not given to our Priests, who could have offered a service to many people on board, for one hour on one Sunday.

 

I enjoyed the ports. In Amber Cove we rented ATV's through the Carnival's excursions. The people were lots of fun.  We also did the zip-lining in St. Thomas, with the "Tree Limin Extreme Zipline company" (through the ship) That was awesome and I highly recommend it.

 

Not too excited about the food or general care of the ship. We usually cruise Royal Caribbean, and we will continue with RC in the future!

There are sooo many different religions. I don't see how it would be possible to accommodate every one of them with a place and time, much less get clergy there to represent each one.

In our 12 Carnival cruises LBGT, Friends Of Bill, Bible Study etc are passenger led. Who in your group did you ask about available space??
