To ensure eating safe meals at sea during your cruise experience, it is recommended that you:

  • Review emergency medical facilities, medicines on board and procedures for life threatening reactions in the case of anaphylaxis.

  • Contact customer service department of your preferred cruise line to address any unanswered questions prior to booking your reservation.

  • Inform cruise line at the time of your reservation of your gluten and /or allergen food concerns.

  • Order your gluten and /or allergen-free meals in advance, if appropriate.

  • Ideally, obtain in writing mutually agreed upon meal plan for cruise.

  • Determine if designated wait staff / team serve each meal during cruise.

  • Determine what snacks are needed for excursions away from the ship. Research bakeries, restaurants and local cuisine, if desired.

  • Obtain foreign language travel cards as needed based on port cities.

  • Confirm special meals with the cruise line 3-5 days prior to departure.
