Nobody joined onboard. All frum Jews on the boat reserved space with us beforehand.
There were other Jews on our cruise and we invited them to Shabbos meals, kosher food, etc.
Did some book directly with the cruise line and then join you (prior to boarding)?
I guess the "other" Jews were not (yet) religious...
Just to be clear.You think that it is OK to specifically book a kosher cruise with the intention of using their services without paying for it?
To daven with them ? Nunu To try to get kosher food, no
Davening costs money also... someone has to pay for the room and the expenses of bringing the Torah. It would at least be proper for someone in this situation to offer to pay a nominal fee for davening with the minyan.
its halacha when someone builds a fence he can force his neighbor to chip in since he benefits from the privacy...
could davening have a definable amount of hanaa (or any mitzvah)?
What about going to the same hotel for example kmr takes out and just join there minyan?
