allaboardsharon Posted March 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi. I'm diabetic and don't usually bother worrying about my sugar intake while in away, I usually have cheese for dessert but I thought I'd ask if anyone knows how easy it is to get no sugar desserts? Do I need to notify celebrity in advance? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wf083145 Posted March 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Also diabetic. We've been on 22 cruises so far and there have always been sugar free desserts on the menu, regardless of the cruise line. Some had better selections and taste, but always something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allaboardsharon Posted March 15, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Brilliant. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey & Sophie Posted March 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I believe there's also a sugar-free ice cream each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted March 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The sugar free desserts are often better than the ones with sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted March 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The sugar free ice cream referenced by Bailey and Sophie is the no additional charge ice cream in the buffet. In addition to the sugar free desserts in the MDR there is generally a sugar free offering at the afternoon snack which features small sandwiches, dry cake, cookies and desserts.

bama4cruisin Posted March 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi.

Do I need to notify celebrity in advance? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Forums My husband is also diabetic; we cruised 11 times, twice with Celebrity. The MDR dessert menu always has one or two sugar free options as well as a sugar free ice cream and a cheese plate. Sugar free options also available at Cafe al Bacio (very good) and the buffet. As for the ice cream, he says Celebrity has the BEST sugar free ice cream he has ever eaten, especially the vanilla and butter pecan Enjoy your trip!

SFCAcruiser Posted March 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I do not recall seeing any food item promoted as "sugar free", but I have seen, and enjoyed, items listed as "no sugar added", even though I am not diabetic. Since I may have overlooked these, are there food items that are truly "Sugar free"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I may have overlooked these, are there food items that are truly "Sugar free"? Just returned today from Reflection- there were many no sugar added desserts but I did not see any listed as "sugar free". The butter pecan ice cream was notable! The no sugar added peanut butter cookies were quite good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozark74 Posted March 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There are always sugar free cookies and desserts at the Oceanview café. As said a different sugar free ice cream everyday. Don't know if you are in Blu but also sugar free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The butter pecan ice cream was notable! The no sugar added peanut butter cookies were quite good also. They use the phrase "no sugar added" since they are not permitted to say "sugar free".

Rare Essiesmom Posted March 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think the best dessert is the Italian Cheesecake no sugar added. It is smaller than the usual offering, and has much more flavor. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted March 16, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I can highly recommend the sugar free panna cotta with mixed berries on the side. Can't wait to get back on board to try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetzablu Posted March 16, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 16, 2014 You can email Celebrity Cruises and put in a request. Email: special_needs@rccl.com This is for any dietary needs you may have. I actually write to them and request a no sugar and low sodium diet for myself as well as a Gluten Free (Celiac Disease) diet for my wife. In fact they are even providing me with an extension cord and bottle of distilled water for my CPAP Machine. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom23guys Posted March 16, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 16, 2014 As some have already said, the desserts are "No Sugar Added" since many have fruit incorporated and fruit have natural sugar or cream which also has natural sugars. One of my favorite is the banana, blueberry creeps. Delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Vol Fan Posted March 16, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 16, 2014 They even have no sugar added syrup at the waffle & pancake station in the Oceanview buffet. It will be in packs and sometimes you have to ask for them. They have always found some for me. The no sugar desserts are always together and labeled as such. Enjoy!
