Carnival Cruise Staff Outstanding!

I just got back from a 7 day cruise on Carnival and I still can't believe how wonderful they were. I was told to inform the maitre d' and waiters before my first meal, which I did. The Hostess was then assigned to go over the next nights menu with me every night. I could choose anything from the menu and if it were at all possible the Chef would make it for me gluten free. He even used separate pots, pans etc. Also the hostess told me to ask for a red scarf cook at any of the other restaurants on board and he would take me around and point out what was gluten free. I did this and had a gazillion choices all the time. I ate like a pig and didn't get glutened one time..not even slightly glutened (which happens at home all the time). I gained 2 pounds...:)

P.S. They served me this wonderful gluten free bread with all my evening meals.

I am glad you had a good time, it sounds just fabulous. I did a cruise two years ago, and had the same awesome experience, even with my many intolerances. They really try hard to make you safe so you can enjoy yourself without worrying about food.

What ship were you on? I am going on the imagination in may and am starting to get anxious. Did you informthem before you got on board. I put a tag on my ticket when i booked, but i heard there is a website i need to register again with, then talk to the matr'd! I hear they have salads available at the 24 hour pizza place.

Please let me know all the little quirks of Carnival! Did you eat at the sushi bar?

34 Days till I cruise!

I was on the Conquest, I tried to inform them before the trip but was unable to figure out how. I went to carnival cruise website and printed out the instructions and handed the printout to our waiter, who brought it to the hostess, who then coordinated everything with the Chef.

" Dietary Needs

Carnival Cruise Lines can provide our guests with the following special dietary needs: Vegetarian, Low-Cholesterol, Low-Fat, Low-Carbohydrates, Low-Sugar, Gluten Free and Bland.

Kosher meals, Baby foods and formulas are not available onboard

If you have food allergies, please advise your dining staff once onboard, or contact a Guest Access Services Representative to discuss your requirements. "

I ate at the sushi bar, but I forgot to bring my own soy sauce :o

Each ship is different so it would be hard to tell you the ins and outs as far as places you can eat, but trust me there is food available 24/7. Also there is the room service menu you can order from any time of day or night. They have a great caesar salad on that menu..P.S. room service food is free like everything else.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
