HAL is great with food allergies. I feel safer eating the the cruise ship than in restaurants on land. I have never had any problems and they were very accommodating. There was one night that there were no deserts on the menu I could eat - The chief came out to the table and asked if he could make me a chocolate soufflé to go with my meal (YES Please!). He saw the look on the faces of the other sitting at our table and made it for them also. One of the best experiences of my life - at restaurants on land I usually have to go without. Here are a few tips. First, fill out the special needs form at least 3 weeks before the cruise. Second, when you get on the ship go to the main dining room and talk with the staff (they will set you up for that nights dinner). Third, go to the Lido and talk with the manager and ask them the best way to handle the situation when you come in for a meal (then do exactly what they ask every time). If you are going to the speciality restaurants, go and talk to them the morning of your reservation. They will make sure everything is going to be perfect for your evening. Most importantly relax and have fun, they will take good care of him.
