Gluten Free Menu

[travel with kids]

Does anyone know if there is a gluten free menu (or simply gluten free food) on the Radiance of the Seas? My BIL has celiac disease and we will sailing to Alaska this summer. Thanks.

We were on Mariner this summer with my wife's sister. You will not find a glutten free menu, but something is available with all of the meals offered. You just have to look around and pick what fits the diet.

 

They did prepare glutten free bread for her, it was prepared fresh daily, although it was about the worst I have ever tasted. We did appreciate their efforts though.

We were on Mariner for a cruise in honor of SIL's grandparents' 60th anniversary and his Grandfather is celiac. They contacted RCCL prior to the cruise about gluten free food. In addition, the Head Waitress came by every night to discuss the next night's menu with him. I think RCI handles this issue very well.

Did she contact RCCL before the cruise? See the above email addresses for any future cruises. They are very accommodating about special diets IF you notify them ahead of time.

Yes, we contacted them a month or so in advance. I didn't that that they were prepared any differently from anyone else. The bread was a nice gesture though.

My husband has celiac disease and we have always had wonderful service on RCCL. They have gone out of their way to make sure he did not have any problem with the food. We did bring his own salad dressing and they labeled it and kept it for him. He liked the GF bread, but it can be a challenge. We ate at the specialty resteraunts on both the Explorer and Mariner and were treated with great food and service. My husband was able to eat the flourless chocolate cake with no problem I checked the cook book prior to him being served!!! RCCL has been the best and that is why we continue to sail with them.

my sister & I try to eat glutten free and the first time we cruised on RCCL, we asked if they had any gf bread. They found some frozen and had it for us EVERY night. We ate every morsel of it because of their gesture, but it was TERRIBLE. but we ate it happily. We have never asked them for GF menu, we just watch what we eat.

We did order gf meals on Lufthansa on our flight to Barcelona & it was NOT. I even questioned the flight attendant & she snippily told us that if it said it was GF, it was. TRUST me, it was not & we sufferred from that.

 

Good luck
