joyus Posted March 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2005 We sailed the Diamond Princess to Alaska last year and I really wanted to enjoy the pancakes & waffles for breakfast, but there was no sugar free syrup anywhere on the ship. I'm planning to bring my own just in case HAL doesn't have any. Does any know ifn HAL does? If so, what brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2005 As long as you are bringing your own, you won't have to worry if they have any or not. Enjoy your pancakes and waffles. I suppose cutting calories wherever possible helps. Every little bit less sugar, the better. I think I saw some aboard Zuiderdam and Maasdam but am not sure. Don't count on it. Bring your own.

ROZO'SBEAU Posted March 16, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2005 They have it....or rather, they've always had it before. I guess playing it safe is the best way to go. Beau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyus Posted March 16, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thank you both for answering my question. Because I am flying in to San Diego from Florida, I didn't want to bring any if I didn't need to. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of cutting calories - people who are diabetics should not use the regular syrup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted March 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I am one who uses sugar free service and I have been on a number of HAL ships. If per chance it is not out tell one of the waiters you need it and he will get it for you. HAL ALWAYS HAS SUGAR FREE SYRUP. Himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincus Posted March 16, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Sugar free syrup is available in the dining room and the Lido. Just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Mommie Posted March 16, 2005 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Yes, it's available...IF they can find it and you don't mind everything being cold by the time they (might) bring it! I bring my own, but don't be suprised when others ask to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew the answer, I would not ask. Should/can a person with diabetes eat waffles/pancakes......all that white flour? High glycemic index and all that!

joyus Posted March 17, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Your point is well taken, Sail7Seas, but a person with diabetes can eat pancakes/waffles, however, depending on the size of each, that person should probably eat no more than 2 with no other high carb (toast, grits, muffins, potatoes, etc.). So with pancakes/waffles, eggs, and one or two pieces of meat (depending), should be alright. Of course, each person's body is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 17, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Thanks for the info. Makes sense. Balance the high, empty carb with a protein....add a vegetable (even just sliced tomatoes and onion, for example) and you are all the better! Hope you have a Wonderful cruise.

trubey Posted March 17, 2005 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2005 This is just a 'for information, please' question. If I knew the answer, I would not ask. Should/can a person with diabetes eat waffles/pancakes......all that white flour? High glycemic index and all that! Some can, I sure as heck can't! My son (also diabetic) can't even LOOK at rice. For me, it's wheat. I can eat a big plate of french fries and not have a significant rise in bg, but give me a burrito and I'm on the moon! I couldn't tell you the last time I ate a sandwich.;) Everybody's different, alright. But why is the one thing you love (wheat, for me) be the worst one for you??? Grr-r-r-r.
