Are There Any Cd Cruises Planned For 2005?

[scudderkidwell]

Hi everyone,

Just checking to see if anyone out there knows if there's any celiac disease Cruises planned for 2005 or any celiac disease conventions planned in the Southeast? We live in Orlando, FL and would really like to go. It would be nice to have a celiac disease only Cruise and not worry about what you're eating. Also have cooking classes and exchange receipes. It would be worth almost any cost.

Thanks, Jean (Wife of a Celiac)

Well, we booked thru Hotwire, and we booked just a couple of days ago for a cruise leaving tomorrow.

We are cruising out of Orlando with Carnival Glory ship. Hotwire was supposed to let Carnival know that I need a gluten-free diet, and I was told that would not be a problem. I am going to make sure I see the Head Waiter to make sure that everything is under control.

I have several snacks in my lugage, so, if necessary, I can eat those things if there are not many choices on board. With so many choices for food, I would think that I can survive!

I would be very interested in a celiac disease cruise! This is our first time in Orlando. Actually the 2nd, but, the first, we didn't even have to change planes. 26 minutes of flight time from Ft. Lauderdale, and like 4 hours on the highway!

Anyway, we are here in the Raddison and can see the cruise yard from our window, out in the lovely Cape Canaveral.

Glad I checked here before we embark on our ship. I was on a curise last April, but, was not aware that celiac disease was why I always got sick after eating. I never had this before a couple of years ago. My MD had said to lay off bread, but, I didn't even consider or realize that this meant anything breaded, crackers, pasta, etc. etc. So, my last cruise, I spent part of it really sick in the bathroom. Now I know why, and hopefully, this cruise will be a better one.

Maybe we should all get together and write some curise companies to see if some sort of "food allergy" specialty cruise could be arranged.
