Comments on: Carnival Cruise Line – Gluten Free Diet Experience http://fpux.com/2010/01/19/carnival-cruise-line-gluten-free-diet-experience/ Mike Schroll's Personal Thoughts Tue, 13 Jul 2010 01:01:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Evelyn http://fpux.com/2010/01/19/carnival-cruise-line-gluten-free-diet-experience/comment-page-1/#comment-501 Evelyn Tue, 13 Jul 2010 01:01:26 +0000 http://fpux.com/?p=61#comment-501 Thank you for writing. I just returned from a Celebrity Cruise (Solstice class) and I can tell you it is not an easy thing to be a celiac on a ship. I was ill the first part of the trip because they did not take the diet seriously. The food was constantly getting contaminated. Don't eat the salad dressings, stick with oil and vinegar, until you can trust the chef to make you special dressing. .I also found that ordering my breakfast through room service was a success. Gluten free toast and two eggs every morning. Going to the Oceanview Cafe was impossible because the staff has not been trained to not contaminate the food. I wish they would buy a toaster for only gluten free bread. It would be very simple and also they could put "gluten free" stickers on the glass above the the cooked foods that are gluten free. They just need to be educated. Let's work on it because I have another cruise planned next year. Thank you for writing.

We will be on the same ship in July. My daughter is newly diagnosed so I have been concerned about what she will eat on the cruise. Can you be more specific about what sort of gluten free bread options they had for you? My daughter is also a vegetarian which severely limits her choices. Thanks for your time!
