This 3-day cruise to the Bahamas was my wife and my first time cruising since she got her celiac diagnosis. So shes a gluten-free vegetarian, and Im neither. Were in our 30s and we scheduled the cruise for our anniversary. Ill start off with a review of Gluten-Free vegetarian dining on the Sky. We contacted access desk ahead of time and were told there was told there were both vegetarian OR gluten-free options on the Sky, but no guarantee that there would be vegetarian gluten-free food. They offered a list of items, which included GF pasta and pizza and said that gluten-free veggie burgers would not be available. It was suggested that we check in with the restaurant manager on the ship.

We had some trouble locating the restaurant manager on our first day; staff members kept directing us to the buffet to get lunch instead and didnt seem to understand our questions about allergies. Finally, someone directed us to the restaurant reservations desk, and the suggested we talk with a matre d in the Crossings dining room. Tip: when youre walking onto the ship, turn left instead of going to the right with the herd and you will be right at Crossings. Ta da! You have saved yourself an hour and running around the ship.

The assistant matre d told us we needed to order gluten-free meals 24 hours ahead of time. He brought out a chef and we brainstormed a meal for lunch and a menu for meals. The salad with avocado and gf pasta were filling and cooked well, if a bit bland.
