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!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
