Not sure what you misunderstood here.There were other Jews on our cruise and we invited them to Shabbos meals, kosher food, etc.The problem would be if there were Jews who specifically booked passage on the cruise while paying 5 figures just to take advantage of their services without paying the small premium for those services.That didn't happen, but it could have been quite awkward. In the end we had an amazing array of Jews from all walks of life and it was truly special.
Nobody did that. In the previous thread I was referring to the theoretical.
We didn't do anything to stop them.We offered a very compelling value (Kosher food, wine, drinks, pre trip hotel, and much more) for a small premium and didn't have any issues.
that seems unfair to those who paid the full price
There were no frum Jews who tried to game our services.
Nobody joined onboard. All frum Jews on the boat reserved space with us beforehand.

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)?
