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.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
