Gluten free dining in specialty restaurants.

[Dardreamer]

How does requests for gluten free dining work in specialty restaurant. Also on NCL you can eat anywhere so how is that handled. I know on RC you can go to same table, same restaurant every night so they know in advance.

In specialty restaurants, they will advise you on menu items that are gluten free. In the MDR's, someone will come to your table the night before, to discuss meals for the following day. You can choose gluten free options from the menu, or have something else made. You call this person when you are on your way to a restaurant. Dd had some great breakfasts delivered to the buffet, eggs Benedict, pancakes, waffles, French toast, muffins...

 

Contact NCL before your cruise, and if you choose to eat lunch in a MDR after boarding, this person will meet you there. For your first meal, they will let you know what is safe to eat.

Wowww GF pancakes, waffles etc.?? That's awesome!!! Good to know, tks.

I'll travel in Nov and was worried abt the Menu. NCL already knows about my dietary restrictions and I hope everything goes well as planned.

Plus rolls, pizza, pasta, and even though it wasn't on the menu, my dd was able to get flourless chocolate cake.

When I have taken a tour of several of NCL ships the galley is amazing. They have a section that is not used unless they are cooking gluten free or kosher. Let them know that you need gluten free ahead of time. When I have they have always worked with me in all areas. Even when I didn't they still helped with options that were great. Now I will say the Pride of America had some of the best gluten free dinner rolls that I have ever had.

A very important tidbit to know, speaking from experience. Make sure you have your dietary needs noted on your reservation and either call the access help desk at 1-866-584-9756 or email them at accessdesk@ncl.com. On day 1, speak with the Maitre D and they will guide you through the process, and quite frankly, spoil you rotten. :D

 

From the NCL FAQ section:

"What about special dietary needs?

If you have any food allergy or a dietary requirement that requires Kosher meals or gluten-free food product, please advise a Norwegian Reservations Agent, or your Travel Agent at the time of booking. Obtaining the product for many of these requests requires 30-days notice prior to sailing, and we want to ensure that we are able to fulfill your request. We cannot guarantee Kosher Meal requests made within 30 days of sail date. For the protection of all of our guests, it is not permissible to bring aboard any food items that would require preparation by the ship’s staff, or food items that would require cold storage in our kitchen facilities"

Everthing you have read is true. Wife has a gluten allergy and on one cruise the Maitre D sent GF cookies to our room just because. Way above and beyond and we have never forgotten it.
