I am gluten-free. I make sure when I book that It is listed that I have Celiac. When I board, the first thing I do is speak to the person who handles allergies and the next is the Chef.I receive the dinner menu for the next evening ahead of time so I can choose what I want. The chef and baker make everything from scratch.It is prepared separately.If My friend likes to eat in the Grille on the 12th floor. The waiters will bring the food from the 6th floor so I can dine with my friend. If I want to eat from the buffet, the chef will show me which foods I can pick from or they will make it separately in the kitchen. The Specialty Restaurants know I'm coming and accommodate even High Tea. Needless to say the food is great, especially the Sea Bass in Red Ginger.
I really enjoyed Nerja Caves in Spain.Tthere are usually free shuttles to go into town. Embarkation and disembarkation run very smoothly.
