For example, I want to order sauce or dressing on the side is this possible/can they acommodate? Absolutely. When your waiter is taking your order, just make sure to specify what you would like changed. If you have a special request, then make sure you talk with your Head Waiter.

reallyitsmema Posted October 7, 2010 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Absolutely! My son wanted tortellini but not the blue cheese sauce and they did marinara instead. He also was able to have them leave the mushrooms off of everything and they were great everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmomof2 Posted October 7, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Things like sauce or dressing on the side is easy. Changing a cream sauce for a marinara is fine. What gets harder is to remove something from the plate (I don't eat carbs so if there was potato or starch, it was already plated so I just moved it over). One thing our waiter on Liberty just did...I love the mushrooms in puff pastry but don't eat the pastry. He brought me a bowl of the mushrooms...without the shell.

yogimax Posted October 7, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I have found the waiters to be extremely accomodating. I will often substitute mashed potatoes for a baked potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimnbigd Posted October 7, 2010 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I have read that if it is a special dietary request, you should let the ship know in advance so they can stock the food. Otherwise, as others said, just tell your waiter. The worst case is he/she says "No." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted October 7, 2010 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I need a Gluten Free/dairy free diet and both Carnival and RCI have been great about accomodating me. The more knowledgeable the MDR hostess is about the diet the more things you get. Some of the hostesses really go out of their way and order special items for breakfast and special desserts. I even had a GF/dairy free pizza in the MDR at lunch on Carnival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmarchal Posted October 7, 2010 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2010 If the sauce or what ever is added to the dish when it is put on the plate they can take care of any request, however if the item is cooked in the sauce there isn't much they can do about that. We cruise a lot and sometimes on a long trip, the food starts to get too rich for my husband and I. That's when we order a small cesar salad (available as an alternative at all meals) with a sliced, grilled chicken breast on top. (also available as an alternative at all meals) It's yummy!!!:) One thing I have learned is to make sure to tell the waiter that I just want a SMALL salad other wise they bring one of those huge bowls full of salad. :eek: Hope you enjoy your cruise.
