Review summary

Princess. Stop treating gluten free people like second class citizens!!!!! We enjoy cookies, pastries, cakes, pies etc just like the rest of you. Princess offers delectable goodies at breakfast for glutinous passengers and only chocolate chip or plain muffins or pancakes (all from the same tasteless mix) and toast for its gf passengers

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The dining rooms were great. Wonderful food and worked my my being celiacs and gluten free. Unfortunately the chef thinks that people who are gf have no teeth and the only sweet things that they can eat are soft like (American) pudding or creme burlet. There was not a cookie or cake to be found in the buffets or international cafe

Onboard Activities

We stayed in Sydney a week before sailing to acclimate to the time change. It is a wonderful city with so much to offer

The port was closed due to cyclone Oma that occurred just before boarding the ship
