All good comments. I too was just diagnosed as a type 2 and have cruised several times with no problem. I find it easier because I can pick correctly and avoid bad choices. For me the junk food is my downfall but it doesn’t exist on cruises. I avoid rice, pasta breaded foods and deserts. If I really crave a sweet I get a dish of ice cream and several bites is enough. My diet wants me to get 20-30 gems of protein per meal and 90 max carbs per day. I don’t have to count calories or sugar.
