jldvestal Posted February 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello to everyone! My wife and I are going on the Allure the week of the 10th. She is currently in the middle of having Hybridge implants put in to replace her bottom teeth, and has temporary dentures in there now. My concern is that she can't chew a lot of foods as the dentures move around a lot. She has had about enough of the milk shakes, puddings, etc. Has anyone had this situation before and can tell me if the kitchen can prepare any special foods that she can chew okay that would still taste good (or as good as it will get!). Also, if anyone has any recommendations for any regular foods onboard that she could chew that would be appreciated too! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendychloecruiser Posted February 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Maybe soups, stews, mashed potatoes. Even fish may work? Pastas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted February 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Good ship to be on with lots of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted February 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2019 There's always something soft she can order from the regular menu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted February 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I don’t believe the kitchen would have the time to dedicate someone to prepare special food/dinners just for your wife and her denture issues. That is asking a lot when thousands are on board. The buffet would be the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kag19 Posted February 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Johnny Rockets has milkshakes and there is always soft serve ice cream. I imagine there are lots of soft foods to be found for all meals that your wife could have as wendychloecruiser mentioned above such as soups, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, cheesecake... my mind keeps going back to dessert! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have frequently requested food items not on menu when I did not care for what was being offered. Never been told no. Please, thank you and smiles often work wonders.

boscobeans Posted February 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well cooked vegetables of all kinds. Fish is always tender and flaky. Depends on if she can chew anything? No nuts, corn on the cob or steaks, but even burgers can be practically gummed without teeth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkkunk Posted February 2, 2019 #12 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Park cafe has some really good soups! One night when I wasn’t feeling so hot, I asked for some chicken soup in the dining room and they brought it to me, no problem. It was so good! I do have to agree that reaching out to special needs will take care of the problem. Also, the buffet would probably have some soft things to eat. I do hope that she is able to enjoy her cruise! I know for most people, the food is part of the enjoyment of being on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorJeff66 Posted February 2, 2019 #13 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I went on my last cruise very shortly after having four bottom front teeth removed. Had to really learn how to eat again. Had to pass on some menu selections, but I ate very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
