Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. @Cruisegirl6 Are you vegan? If you were, you would probably know it is one of the best ways to eat. If people would like something different now and again, why not have a Beyond Burger? They are not going to eat it all the time, my wife doesn't like the meat substitutes as she finds the textures a bit too close to mark. Also, can you back up your statement about Soy causing cancer, many of the products that vegans eat have a soy base and I have googled the reported link between them and there are as many pros as cons. Again it's all about a varied diet. You are more likely to get cancer from many other sources and Tofu, Hummus and soya milk probably aren't very high on the list. One website even suggests eating soy lowers the risk.
  2. A quick write-up of my wife's recent vegan experience on Celebrity Solstice. 2024 – Vegan Options on Celebrity Solstice, Singapore to Hong Kong 15-27 Jan Mostly positive and a couple of blips but overall a big improvement. Well done Celebrity. 👍🏼
  3. Thank you for taking the time to update us. Sounds like you are enjoying it.
  4. Who is doing the blocking? @LauraS Is it Cruise Critic Software stopping this? This is a real shame as I always wanted to know what a Costa Worldie would be like.
  5. I'm not sure what the current process is, but I imagine it's like a typical Costa set-up with multiple embarkation and disembarkation days. Overnight in Dubai provides two options for getting on and off. If you get on the first day, it is as you say a Dubai day the next day. We did this in reverse, getting on and off on day 2 using the ship as a hotel for the overnight. Depending on who you book with there might be the option to do 8 nights and have two overnights. I beleive this to be correct and happy to be wrong 😁

  10. We have just come back from Norwegian Jade and as my wife is vegan, I have dedicated an area on my blog to record our observations on how we managed while onboard. Link below to view it. https://www.wansbroughs-cruise-blog.me.uk/our-vegan-cruise-reviews/2023-vegan-options-on-norwegian-jade-17-26-apr/ I read an earlier post about the speciality restaurants and we did manage to eat in Teppanyaki on one night but would not say it was worth $49 per head, fortunately, we used up some dining package credits that came when we booked so it cost us nothing.
  11. We have just booked Crown for next October and have also noticed the MDR approach seems to vary from ship to ship. Our TA wrote the following on our booking confirmation "Princess Cruises have noted Nicole's Vegan dietary requirement and asked me to pass on the following information. Please be advised: Vegetarian items are designated on our dining room menus with a 'V' and vegetarian selections are featured in all dining locations, including the buffet. Although we do not offer a vegan menu, some vegetarian selections may be suitable to your requirements. Certain menu items, but not all, may be modified to accommodate your diet. Tofu, egg-free pasta and vegetarian burgers are available onboard and can be prepared in a variety of styles. Please liaise with your Head Waiter or the Maitre d' Hotel upon boarding to confirm suitable selections."
  12. Strange to think my wife would put something like that over a fruit tart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_yogurt
  13. I am just wondering if anyone can advise if it's better to buy the unlimited before you set off or wait until you are onboard and potentially get a better price. Or does it make no difference whatsoever?
