Ash Wednesday

[kshabare]

We will be on DCL on Ash Wednesday. Does anyone know if you can have ashes onboard? Or, does anyone know if there would be a church we can have ashes in St. Thomas? We'll be doing an excursion that day too.

My goodness, I can't believe I've gotten no takers. Good thing I'm not the Catholic in the family. MIL will have to skip it this year. I think this means she won't have to give up anything for Lent either. Since we'll be on the ship she is going to give up cleaning for Lent.

I noticed that there was a non-denominational service on Sunday and a Jewish service on Friday night on the Magic last week. I would assume there is a Catholic Church in St. Thomas...I would call DCL to ask about observances on the ship! If you are observant on Fridays, make sure that is not the night you schedule Palo's!

Have a great time!

No, you're not the only Catholics going on the 2/9 cruise! We're planning on finding a Catholic church in St. Thomas for mass. My DW and I definitely DON'T plan on fasting on Wednesday or Friday during the cruise, though (we're going to get our $$$ worth!). We will probably choose the seafood or vegetarian items those days so we can at least not feel guilty about not abstaining (hey, isn't feeling guilty part of being a good Catholic anyway?).

We are Catholic also and will be on the Wonder for Ash Wed. DD (9) is already agonizing what she'll give up for lent that will not interfere with her cruise.... I'm not sure she is getting the point about the sacrifice!!! My sister saved the day with a article she read about "giving up" criticism, gossiping, complaining etc. Kinda interesting...

You all are definately why this is the BEST link for DCL! This world would be a better place if they were all like US!

Michigancruiser, didn't I feel stupid when I read the 'St.' part to myself. How silly am I - there's got to be a church on 'St.' Thomas?! DUH! I'll keep my eyes peeled - I even wonder if DCL might mention something in their Navigator? We'll soon see.

2 days, 12 hours and counting!!! Only one more grueling day of work!!!

This is too late to help those of you whose cruise will take you over Ash Wednesday (you're already onboard), but I found this on the DCL web site:
