Just returned from a 7 day cruise on the NCL Majesty from Boston to
Bermuda and back. I told my travel agent I would need a gluten free
diet and she checked and told me there would be no problem with that,
just check in with the dining room supervisor to identify myself. That
was all I did prior to leaving.
Once on board, I sought out the person in charge and told him I would
need a gluten free diet. His response? Would that also include dairy
free? No other explanation was needed.
The first night I picked out my appetizer, soup, salad and main course
and told the waiter I was the Gluten lady. He was already informed of
my needs and suggested some alternative menu items that would be easier
to make GF. I was shocked! Before desert the dining room supervisor
came to me with the next days menu and went over my selections. When I
enquired about certain items, he assured me that the chef would be happy
to make me a "special" version of the item. Even the busboy was very
informed and when serving my sorbet, noticed that a cookie had been
added to the dish and immediately whisked it away before I could say
anything. My husband and I were very impressed and I unfortunately was
able to eat everything they prepared for me.
My only suggestion was to bring breakfast bread with you as after 7 days
I was craving toast or a bagel. They would have gladly prepared it for
me had I thought to bring some along.
So here is a good story for you all to enjoy.
