joyciegirl Posted May 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2004 We are cruising Caribbran Princess from Ft. Lauderdale,leaving on Oct. 2nd. This is our first cruise. Neither of us can eat sugar (oh dang!)...we are not diabetic, but I was hoping that cruise ships offer foods for deabetics... low carb...low sugar. Do they? If you have tried them...are they good? Joyciegirl If I plan it...he will go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezzaluna Posted May 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I'll be they will be ready for plenty of requests like yours! I am on South Beach and can have some low-glycemic index carbs (certain fruits and whole grains in moderation) and look forward to seeing what they come up with when I cruise in July on Coral Princess.

emma2u Posted June 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi joyciegirl, I am a diabetic and have been very disappointed in the lack of sugar free desserts. No ice cream or pies or any offering other that fruit. I was hoping with the atkins and South Beach diets being so popular there will be more low carb offerings. Of course sugar free does not mean calorie free! Good luck.

dbeckett Posted August 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Late into this thread but as the saying is better late than never. Princess offer at least one sugar free desert a night in the dining room and usually 2 at Horizon Court. All nicely presented. Not quite the caliber of the mousses but very edible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted August 1, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Thanks for the info...do you remember what they were? I guess they are easily identifiable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppabear Posted August 3, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2004 My wife IS a diabetic and her favorites are: Century -- sugarfree chocolate mousse Summit -- sugarfree apple pie Ask your waiter once and they'll make sure they have it (or a substitute of your choice) for you every night.

Donnaluv2cruise Posted August 3, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 3, 2004 I also read somewhere that RCCL offers a great sugar free key lime pie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallen Posted September 19, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Princess sugar-free desserts are wonderful - very innovative and attractively displayed and served. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsy Posted October 8, 2004 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Princess sugar-free desserts are wonderful - very innovative and attractively displayed and served. :) We were on the Regal this summer and they had some great sugar free desserts. We don't normally do sugar free, but my husband ordered sugar free key lime pie one night and strawberry shortcake another night. Both were wonderful. You couldn't even tell they were sugar free.

STANCPA44 Posted November 7, 2004 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I notice that you were on the old Westerdam. I just recently sailed on the new Westerdam. They had usually three sugar free deserts along with sugar free ice cream. Usually, one of the sugar free deserts was jello. But the others were rather good.

House_Atreides Posted November 7, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Oh the cruiselines have FINALLY come out with some wonderful sugar-free/no sugar added desserts. I've had some truly good stuff; probably sweetened with Splenda because that bakes much better than aspartame...anyway, not to worry...I'm sure you'll find plenty of sugar free/low carb options! Have fun eating!!:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem at Sea Posted April 9, 2005 #14 Share Posted April 9, 2005 What are the latest offerings in sugar-free on the NCL Sea? We're sailing May '05 with one diabetic and several dieters (sometimes.):confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma2u Posted April 20, 2005 #15 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Since my last post on this thread we have sailed the Serenade of the Seas. They had wonderful s/f deserts every night. Pies, cakes, cookies. Just great. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
