OK, but what about eating sensibly and special diets?
Almost every ship offers a low-calorie or “spa” menu at most meals. If you don’t see what you want, just ask the maitre d’. The chef can prepare almost anything with a little notice. If you have food allergies, be sure to notify the maitre d’ and head waiter when you board the ship. Here are some examples of the special diets available: Vegetarian, Vegan, Lactose Intolerant, Gluten-free, Diabetic, Low Sodium, Low Cholesterol, Low Calorie, Low Fat and Kosher. Some of these diets can be accommodated only if the cruise line is notified in advance of the sailing. Not all diets can be accommodated on all ships. If you are strict about these diets, please confirm and make the necessary arrangements in plenty of time.
