I am thinking of sailing in November on the Radiance. Yes, I will inform them of my allergy at time of booking, will meet with the restaurant staff as soon as I am on the ship and know I have to pre-order the day before for my meals. What I am looking for is how other celiacs actually fared on the ship. I have had good luck with NCL and Princess, but had an absolutely horrible time on Holland's Koningsdam in December and was sick for the entire trip. An experience I do not want to repeat. This will be my first time on Carnival in over 30 years.
Specifically, I am wondering about Guys, Blue Iguana. and the Lido Buffet. Guys advertises GF, but the pictures make it look like there is a lot of shared condiments and potential for cross contamination. Someone mentioned the Blue Iguana has corn tortillas available, but again they were worried about the cross contamination. The Lido is my last choice, but I prefer a light breakfast and don't need to do a formal sit down for cereal or scrambled eggs. Lunchtime is normally a salad. Again I've been ok on NCL and Princess, but the Koningsdam used the same utensils to fill the lettuce bowls as they used to grab a roll for the plates. These are the types of experiences I'm looking for - good and bad. The specialty dining rooms and MDR should be fine, however if you've had either good or bad luck with these I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thank you
