Summer hols Posted December 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Does Cunard offer diabetic menu in Brittania restaurant and is there a copy to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted December 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2018 They offer a selection of items which used to be called the spa menu, they also have chicken, salmon and steak with potatoes and vegetables which are always available. There is not a diabetic menu as such, but if you speak to the head waiter you can arrange to get the menus the day before so you can pick what you want.

Rare babs135 Posted December 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes, as Lanky Lad has said: Have a word with the head waiter and ask him if you can see the next day's menu so that if you need to ask them to make a change to one of the courses they have the time. There is always a sugar free dessert on the menu (and in the buffet). Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted December 23, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Generally they will adapt a regular menu to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Hattie Posted December 23, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Have you already notified Cunard that you need a special menu ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reduced-sugar items on the menu, which is wonderful for those who are dieting, but not much good for diabetics. Last place that I saw sugar-free desserts was on HAL.

njpln Posted January 4, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Was on QE in June. My situation may be different than yours, because I am type II and avoid sugar as much as possible. I always look for no-sugar-added, because if a dessert is made with milk there is milk sugar in it, and that is not a major issue for me. For me it’s important they are not adding table sugar. I can’t recall specifically what was sugar free and what what was no sugar added, but: If you like sweetened tea or coffee, bring your own sweetener. I think they had saccharin (which I dont like,) but no aspartame, sucralose or stevia that was readily available. I did get some candela aspartame when I begged, but I will be bringing my own sweetener tabs on my next cruise. They did have sugar free jams or jellies, I found them readily at the buffet. Regarding desserts, I think they had at least one no-sugar-added every day. I do not recall if any were sugar free. I recommend you advise Cunard and they will help you. Good Luck. Enjoy!

kmerlin14 Posted January 4, 2019 #9 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'm prediabetic, so I'm trying to cut down on my sugar by being good all day and then having half a dessert at night. I'm more concerned about them adding sugar to the vegetables because I prefer to save my sugar rations for dessert. Is there a way of finding out about sugary salad dressings and soups etc?
