Last year I gave up coffee for Lent, but this year we are going on a cruise during Lent. I did not realize this when we booked. So is there something else I can do besides give up a food item? I feel that on a cruise, I may eat something that I have forsaken for Lent, if it is in a dish and I am unaware of it. Any advice would be appreciated.
 
All that is required for American Catholics is fasting and abstinence on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, and abstinence on the Lenten Fridays. “Giving up” something for Lent is a personal devotion done at the discretion of the individual. You are free to devise other forms of personal devotion during Lent, such as additional prayers.
