      I was on a Princess cruise a year and a half ago and it was very easy.  I brought my own cereal in little baggies and would eat that for breakfast, along with fruit.  They do make gf pancakes in the dining room, but I had those the first day and got a little sick - I think it was from the syrup.  So, I stuck with my cereal after that.    
      For dinner, we spoke to the head waiter at the beginning of the week, and he worked with us.  Every night at dinner, I would get the menu for the next night so I could order what I wanted for the next day.  If I didn't see anything that I liked, I could order a gf pasta.  Also, if you have something one night and it isn't on the menu again, you can pre-order it for the next night.  They made delicious eggplant parm that I ended up ordering every night even though it wasn't on the menu.  Basically they will make you anything you want, as long as you tell them the day before.  They also give you gf bread with dinner.  
      For dessert, the cheesecake is gf, minus the crust.  I know it sounds risky, but the cheesecake is so thick that you can safely eat the top half of it and not come near the crust.  I ate it with no problems.  There is also a chocolate dessert that was gf.  But they can always bring you fruit (even if its not on the menu).

      You will do just fine. I have sailed Princess to Alaska. We have taken 21 
      cruises over many years. about 35 % of them after being diagnosed. Here's my 
      advice. When you board, go directly to the dining room and ask for the food 
      and beverage manager. Be sure to ask him for a consistent server at your 
      table. You will be assigned to a knowledgeable chef, so don't worry about 
      that. The weak link is with the servers.  They need to be reminded not to 
      cross contaminate your food when they serve others bread and butter and 
      glutenized dishes. Also, be very vigilant about what dish the servers give 
      you. They can mix up orders.  I would advise that you bring snacks that are 
      packaged for shore excursions.  I usually bring Soy Joy or Lara Bars. You 
      can also get by with saving a piece of fruit and stashing it in your back 
      pack when on excursions. As for breakfast buffets, there are lots of 
      choices. You can do plain yogurt, fruit, some sliced turkey or cheese. If 
      you bring on your own bread mix or muffins that you have made, you can bring 
      them to breakfast.  They will even bake gluten free bread or muffins you 
      bring on. When you go through airport security, if you bring any already 
      made gluten free  foods from home, have a note from your physician 
      confirming you need the food to travel. I always bring a meal for a short 
      flight, because airplanes are notorious for confirming they will have a 
      gluten free meal for you and they dont. A couple of years ago, we got off a 
      cruise in Argentina and I had to fly back to New York on a 1/2 cup of rice 
      and vegetables taken from first class, because they "forgot" to put on the 
      gluten free meals.  Hope this is helpful information.
