Re: WHY didn't Carnival US/UK hire a priest, for Catholics, aboard the ongoing QUEEN

I would like to see where on the cruise ticket it says "will provide a Catholic mass". They provided it in the past as a convenience to passengers. They are perfectly within their rights to stop offering it. Will one week without going to mass mar your soul? Only you know that. The prayers we say, the hymns we sing, the church, the pew, the vestments are all trappings created by man. You were in the midst of one of God's greatest creations, the ocean. How about going up on deck and saying a silent prayer in your head thanking God for the majesty and beauty of his creation. I bet he would appreciate that more than you sitting in a chair on deck four and chanting the Our Father like a robot.

Just my $0.02. And yes, I am Catholic.
