CruzanKris Posted July 22, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2017 My husband is gluten sensitive and the food options for him are always amazing on RCCL. We have two upcoming cruises with MSC and would like to know if MSC has a lot of GF options. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeiFong Posted July 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm also interested. We've only recently found out that DH is gluten sensitive. It will be risotto but no pasta or pizza for him, something he's still coming to terms with. It would already be great if MSC had gluten free bread.

Fostelo Posted July 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Ive read somewhere that msc has a designated gluten free area in the buffet and also a gluten free area in the kitchens so that there is no contamination. Im traveling with my sister next year on seaview and she's also gluten free so hopefully someone else can confirm [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrislc Posted July 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'd like to know as well as we've had mixed experiences on other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetwash Posted July 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2017 MSC has a gluten-free menu and bread. On the Divina now and my daughters friend who is our guest has a gluten sensitivity. She can order from the special menu and then a separate waiter, maybe a head waiter or someone specifically assigned for dietary needs, takes her order and brings out her meal, separate from the rest of us so it is not mixed up. She's 17 and a picky eater so has mostly had the gluten-free pasta, which she liked, and grilled chicken and vegetables… I took a picture of the gluten-free menu the other night I will try to post it but I'm on the ship in San Juan right now so if I can't do it I will wait until I'm home! On a sidenote, she said she was pleased the other night when she went to the buffet and asked about gluten-free dish and the chef made her something special, I think it was grilled chicken but they were very accommodating! Only been to the buffet for breakfast and lunch but it seems that there are some gluten-free options although it would be best to ask… Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzanKris Posted July 26, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thank you so very much for posting the menu. Much appreciated!! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Dad Posted July 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Italy is very accommodating for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. In fact, the government offers monthly subsidies for those who need to eat gluten-free. Both of our children have CD and had no problems eating on MSC or Costa. I would say that MSC's GF food is more mass-produced, whereas on Costa the chef made our son whatever he wanted in GF form. I've mentioned this elsewhere: on MSC, my daughter's GF pasta once came out piping hot in some areas and frozen in others, a pretty clear indication that it had been microwaved. But, overall, both cruise lines really tried their best. LPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguyinorl Posted July 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Just wanted to add that the Divina Bar on Deck 5 midship has a large selection of gluten free beers if anyone is a drinker. Bret 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorkelBoy Posted July 28, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The gluten free bread on the Divination was like eating regular bread, the best we've had on any cruise line, and the pasta was good. Also they will prepare a box lunch to take off the ship that is gluten free. Dave Sent from my iPad using Forums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetwash Posted July 28, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2017 [emoji1303] our 17 year old guest didn't complain either and or 17-year-old daughter, her friend, ordered the gluten-free pasta one night and enjoyed it (Pasta with bolognese sauce was not on the regular menu) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
