My 16 year old son who is a very fussy vegetarian has recently been diagnosed with coeliac disease. We are on Symphony next August. I know this is well in advance, but I'm a bit of a control freak and I like to be organised, so here's my question:
Would an email to customer service to make them aware be enough, or is this more of a special request due to the (possible) need for special dishes?
I have had a look at menus, which I realise may change between now and August 2023, but one thing that I noticed is that dishes are either gluten free or vegetarian, but rarely both. Factor into the equation that he's really picky. He won't eat mushrooms, for example, so a mushroom risotto or soup would be out. He loves pasta, but of course at home we are now having rice or konjac pasta rather than durum pasta. He's gutted that he won't be able to indulge in Sorrento's.
We are very new to this condition so if any coeliac-vegetarians out there have any advice for navigating cruise ship menus, I would be very grateful.
