So you're going to have a Bar Mitzvah party but the young man is not going to have any religious service?
That is not what I said, I said we have the religious part under control. He will be doing a service on board. I didn't want to get into discussing that because everyone has their own views (in our family we go from Hasidic to non practicing) I am just trying to figure out the logistics of how other people have done this with their families and friends.

Google "Bar Mitzvah's at sea". The first listing is for a company that puts them together.
Thank you!!!!
As for the religious portion, everyone has their own opinions, and every family needs to do what is best for them. If we were looking for something formal with a Rabbi we would be doing it in the Temple at home. But in no will that make this any less meaningful for my son. In some aspects with how some of the parties and services are done today they have lost the whole meaning. (I rather do it on Masada, but my DH and DS don't want to)
We have been on so many cruises I can book the cruise and arrange the party i know that isn't the problem. I was wondering how people have done it. Do they invite the family/friends and help pay? Have they done it for the weekend trip or taken the cruise to Europe? Was just wondering how others have done it......

A few months ago the Palm Beach Post had an article about RCCL was doing Bar Mitzvah's at sea. They would conect you with a Rabbi and if i remember right the lessons would be done via internet. The service and party would all be onboard. I was hoping to find someone who might have done it or been to one. My son loves the idea because of travel sports we don't have the time to do it the traditional way. (In our Palm Beach schools we have PE only once every 4 days, so our kids need the activities)

Has anyone ever done or been to a Bar Mitzvah on a cruise ship? My son hates the traditional dinner dance thing. Would appreciate any help or suggestions.
