Carnival Cruise Staff Outstanding!

[Respira]

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.

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

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.
