Review summary

First your company totally messed up our plans, to be together with friends, birthday for my wife and my special diet needs. The ships food was lousy, they gave rules then let people who knew better violate them giving them a head start, had very limited entertainment and specialty times, had very little knowledge of dietary needs of gluten free and very limited and the same every day. I would never recommend your company or Royal Carribean to anyone and have begun telling all of my patients about the experience. Go Princess.

I have a no salt, and I have never had issues, my food was always brought out at same time as everyone else or first normally. Have been on different ships never any problems. Getting ready for 6 trip all with Royal Caribbean

Sorry you had a bad experience. Our daughter is gluten free and she had different food every night in the main dining room. They had a plate of gluten free bread at her spot at the table every night too. I always make sure that we are seated with our friends right away. If they are not tied together just go to the dining room and get it fixed. Give Royal another chance.
