Song in my heart

As others have said it is possible to eat gf on HA ships but you have to be very careful. On two separate occasions the head chef at the buffet told me something was safe for me. When I asked him to double-check the ingredients he did and was embarrassed and admitted they did have something that was not safe for celiacs. I was fortunate in having one of the people at the salad station make me a fresh gf honey mustard salad dressing as most others weren't safe. In the MDR I previewed the next day's menus and the Maitre'D took note of what I would like. He then asked the head chef if they could make it celiac safe. Sometimes they could. Sometimes they couldn't. Lol. They tried. We were on a 52 day cruise. The gf bread choices became limited quickly. The safe desserts often became sorbets or a variety of creme brulee. Every once in a while they surprised me with an absolutely, delicious chocolate dessert. Your husband and son will be able to find gf items but be disappointed there are not more choices. Such is the life for celiacs unfortunately.

Another question about the Zuiderdam. We are sailing on her for the 50 days South Pacific cruise. Are there self-service laundry rooms on this ship?

Which ships have you found to have great celiac breads and desserts? I am currently on a Princess Cruise and the staff are trying to accommodate my celiac requirements which I appreciate but the gf breads are dry and the d3sserts are very limited.
