Cruises To Accommodate gluten-free, Cf, Sf? Help!

Hi all,

I need advise. We want to take a cruise in June. We need to be gluten-free as well as casein & soy free. I saw lots of posts about gluten-free cruising, but couldn't find much about multiple intolerances. I wrote to a few cruise lines (Carnival and NCL I think) and came up empty. Basically, they said they could do gluten-free, but couldn't guarantee the others because they didn't have a dietician on board. :huh:

Anyway, I THINK that Disney or Royal Caribbean might be able to accommodate, but I need the board's infinite wisdom to feel comfortable. Please help!

Thanks ever so much!

Jillian

I'm sorry I don't have too much info, all I know is I went on a cruise in 06 (before I knew about my celiac, but I was a vegetarian at the time) with Norweigen cruise lines, and they promised "vegetarian" options at every meal. I was extremely disappointed with the food, so much that I wrote letters afterwards. Their idea of vegetarian "options" was like.. the salad greens. Or some fruit. They didn't offer any rice, any beans or tofu, any vegetarian proteins. It was all side dishes. I basically ate salad greens and potatoes for a week, it was pretty terrible.

So I guess I'm just saying be wary, even if they promise gluten free options make sure you actually talk to a representative of the company before hand to see what exactly they will offer. I think Norweigen just sucks in general, Id never recommend them, they were so booked full that you wouldn't even have a place to sit and eat with your food people would be standing in the hallway eating or taking their food back to their rooms! It was ridiculous!

Ive heard much better things about other cruise lines though, so I just recommend making a lot of phone calls and getting detailed info, and then just going with your gut. I hope you find the right one and have fun when you go! Let us know how it goes because I'd possibly like to take a cruise again one day if it was with a nicer company and they could accomodate me. :)

Disney!!!!! Disney Disney Disney!

My little nephew is one of those kids that is allergic to everything: wheat, soy, corn, nuts (deathly to cashews and peanuts), among other things. They went on a Disney cruise last summer, and it was incident free! Disney "gets" allergies and intolerances.

(I'll also put in my vote again for how awesome all of the Disney resorts and restaurants are with food needs).

Best of luck.

THANK YOU!!! Appreciate the feedback!

We booked Disney sailing in June. Fingers crossed. We just came back from Disneyland 2 weeks ago & did great. I only got sick 1x (from soy I think). My kids felt great the whole time, so that's a success in my book!

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
