smartlady25 Posted June 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Have your TA contact Oceania to inform them of your allergy. I have a fish allergy and i am contacted by the head of food services when we embark. One warning, if you eat at Buffet, you need to ask each server if egg is in the ingredients. Anywhere you are served they will be aware. Fern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtravel Posted June 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Buffet should post names of items and list ingredients. Many people have allergies or just don’t like items. I hate nuts and bananas. I keep asking the servers at the buffet if items have nuts. Today at lunch, I asked the server what kind of cookies were being served. She responded, “Peanut butter, pecan something, and don’t know.” Took don’t know. It had nuts! Also she told me that tart had no nuts, only raisins and apples. Took it. No raisins and nuts again!

SellaVee Posted June 22, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I have a nut allergy, and a few others, and on previous cruises I've had the menu delivered to my stateroom the night before so that I can select the dishes I want. It's not ideal but better to be safe. Sometimes things can be made without the problematic ingredients, other times I can choose something else. I've never gone hungry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should ask to speak to the Chef The server are not always informed as to what the cooks put in the food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I have done in the past The Terrace is the wild card because you have to ask what is in the food My problem is not life threatening so I try just to make safer choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysteps Posted June 23, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Yes in Terrace if you ask a server they should summon the chef if the server doesn't know for certain. Many (not all) chefs can/will sometimes make you a compliant dish if the buffet version is not. Also if you have pre-ordered from the GDR it can usually be delivered to you in Terrace. O does not label the ingredients in the buffet so it is an extra step - but most cruises that means you get to know the chef =) Disclosure - my food restriction is (strict, medical) gluten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
