Review summary

Loved the long days at sea! Our excursion was terrific! But compared to the Norwegian Cruise Line I really suffered food wise which was disappointing because on a Princess Alaska Cruse they knew all about Celiac Disease and I had no problems.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Good. Chief helpful with free finding GF choices at buffet. Not so great in dining rooms. Nausea and vomiting after several meals. I don’t think the chief’s there knew what GF meant. We finally stopped going and just kept going to the buffet or pizza place.
