<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Just got back from summer vacation abroad. The good news, American Airlines finally got all four domestic legs right as far as the gluten free meals are concerned. The rest of the news. Cruised on Reannaisance Cruise Lines. Very upscale, but has a unique eating seating regimen. No assigned table, time nor wait-staff. Four restaurants of your choice, with varying formalities, but no steady dining room seating. The average traveler gains freedom of time management, varied interesting table partners and menu variety. The Celiac traveler loses the conectivity of a regular waiter and maitre d' who know what contains gluten and what you can and cannot eat. Since the wait staff is assigned around to the various restaurants, no one knows what is in what. I spoke with the head chef at sailing and he said there is about a Celiac a week on his ship, and to press the waitstaff for assistance. Much, much easier said than done. They were really hustling and didn't have time for research projects. Fortunately I got through the cruise OK except for one time when I got tired of being told that all the soups (and they were superb) were thickened with flour. Damn. Thought I could get by just one. No such luck. Why didn't I check with the chef before sailing, you ask...because of the roaming seating policy, Reannaisance Cruise Lines does not entertain any special food considerations beforehand. And neither does their captive charter airlines, World Airways. And it's a long way from Stockholm to San Diego, round trip. This they don't tell you until you've paid fully for the trip. My wife found ways to fill all the empty rice cake space in the luggage after shopping in Europe. Stick to the traditional cruise ship seating and scheduled airlines. Jere in SoCal
