I think it reflects poorly on someone who would put himself in that situation.
I find this discussion interesting.
If someone is planning to spend his next holiday vacation going on a cruise, and during his research he happens to see
that during some of his potential vacation dates there is incidentally a Kosher cruise taking place.
Would he be so bad to think "hey why not join that cruise, since there will be so many Yidden on there,
I know there's a high chance I can also daven with a minyan"?
Now, this is someone who would never be able to afford a "Kosher cruise", and wasn't originally even thinking
there'd be a minyan on the cruise he happens to be on.
Why would it be so bad for him to tag along?
I don't think this is comparable to a luxurious cruise like Antarctica where people are spending a fortune regardless,
and as mentioned, the logistics are tough etc.
I'd have very mixed feelings.
There are literally thousands of hours of logistical work that went into organizing our small kosher cruise. It would seem to be unfair if someone came along and took advantage of a minyan without helping to defray the cost of making that minyan on a boat. A minyan is a small part of the cost of a kosher program, but it's part of the package and getting a torah onboard and obtaining space onboard is no small feat.
I'm completely cruise-ignorant, but do you think all that applies on regular (i.e. non-Actarctica) cruise?
Do you mean to say that on typical (not very atypical/special considerations like Antarctica) cruises they spend many hours and much money
solely on making the minyan?
