I'd like to make dinner reservations, but also go to the earlier theater show.

Had lunch in the buffet. The greens were a little sketchy, but the pizza chef made me a veggie pizza with gluten free crust. Tasty! And much appreciated.

Was the other gluten free food also good? Going on the Eclipse in July with 2 gluten free people.

Has anybody cruised recently on Celebrity's Eclipse that is Gluten intolerant?  Is the food good & are there enough gluten free options at each meal?

Thank you, Cruising Lynne, for your response to the mini fridge on the Joy. Will bring my own hair conditioner & anti-frizz lotion too!  Looking forward to cruising on10/16 because we haven't cruised since Covid. 

Thanks again.

Is there a mini fridge in the cabin & is shampoo & conditioner available?

Even before getting into letting them know in advance - every time the solo group was sat for dinner, before the rolls were placed on the table, the table was asked if there were any food allergies.  They are VERY conscious of this, the last thing they want is for someone to get sick on their watch.

Thank you for your response.

Sailed on 4 different NCL ships, 2 daughters have celiac, they ate better than at home and loved it. Let’s special needs know ahead of time, go to a MDR for lunch upon boarding, someone will most likely come to your table and explain how it works. Those with allergies can preorder meals, mine ordered dinner and breakfast the night before. We always ate breakfast in the buffet and just called the number to let them know we were on our way. Covered trays of great gf food brought right to our table, waffles, pancakes, muffins, eggs Benny, bread - pretty much anything they wanted. For dinner they looked at the next night’s menu and could ether ask for modifications or order off menu. Flourless chocolate cake was brought, as well as Brazilian cheese bread from moderno. They’d do the buffet for lunch and just ask if they had concerns, or needed gluten free pizza, rolls, bread… We’ve been dealing with celiac for 13 years and cruising is the way to go with their dedicated allergy kitchens. Do not cancel for this reason.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your reply! You really put my mind at ease since your family has dealt with gluten-free on NCL ships. I appreciate your answer.

Hmm....I would think you'd have to be concerned about that in ANY restaurant. Not an easy thing to determine I'd think, but if you inform the cruise line before hand I think they would comply. There are many diet restrictions for many people. like peanut allergies which can be deadly.

I would think they are prepared for that. 

Thanks for your answer.

We did a Behind the Scenes tour on NCL Star last week and saw the MDR kitchens.  Within these was a separate area for preparation of meals for those on restrictive diets, so cross contamination would not occur.  They seemed to take this very seriously.

Thank you for letting me know about the MDR kitchens.

They have pretty good gluten protocol.  but deserts were limited.  Teppanyaki has been prepared gluten free and of course alot of courses are pre-prepared for your next days meals when you speak to maitre D of your dining venue choices day before.

 

Definitely go...

 

Thank you for your answer. Still have 1 day to decide before final payment.

I'm afraid that I might have a problem staying away from food containing gluten & cross-contamination.

Please advise.
