Thinking Of Going On A Family Cruise In December

We are thinking of taking our kids on a cruise in December. Does anyone have any advice for me as far as eating gluten-free? Maybe you've had experience with good cruiselines or bad. If I call ahead will they better accomodate me or am I on my own???? We are starting to make plans now and it might make a difference on which cruiseline we decide to use. I'm kind of freaked out about this, but I don't want to become a hermit. (I'm only about 7 weeks gluten-free and my husband is just starting and he says he feels better already)

Oops just realized I posted this on the wrong forum. I will repost it on the travel forum, but don't know how to delete this one.. Sorry everyone!

I have been researching this because I too want to go on a cruise. To be honest I have been calling them directly and asking how they have gluten free dinning in place. Here is what I gathered so far...

Carnival: they have no policy or procedures in place for gluten free dinning. Meaning they will make you gluten-free choices, but there are no guidelines they follow. And talking to the lady on the phone when I asked about gluten free options, she immediately said "theres a buffet available, that way you can just get specifically what you want without gluten." :blink: I told her about CC after that and that a buffet is a risky option, so she told me I needed to speak with the chef then and I have to constantly stay on top of them to make me the right meals. Suffice to say, I will not be traveling on that line anytime soon.

Disney: they basically are aware of CC and gluten free dinning. The lady I spoke to said, "if you want gluten free, you get gluten free...whether a birthday cake or a loaf of bread". She did say I needed to speak to the chef once on board, but after that they will follow up with you directly. So they are much more on top of things, I will booking with them in the future.

I would call them and see how comfortable you are with the answers provided. That's just me though. B)

Best of luck-

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
