Carnival Has You Covered!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Vacationing a cruise is the perfect time for indulging on your favorite guilty food and drink pleasures. It\u2019s a true no-judgment zone, especially from us. But can those on a special diet indulge too? According to Carnival Cruise Line, of course they can! Accommodating special diets on a Carnival cruise is overwhelmingly easy – and don\u2019t expect boring, bland food either! The Fun Ship<\/em> cruise line has plenty of delicious options for passengers that adhere to a special diet (vegetarian\/vegan, kosher, gluten-free) or have some sort of dietary restriction (low-fat, low-cholesterol, nut allergy) they can\u2019t disregard.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost simple diet requirements can be accommodated onboard,\u201d said Kirsten Sanchez, Business Development Director for Carnival. \u201cOnce onboard, guests should speak with their headwaiter or dining room host(ess) in advance, so they can assist in planning daily meals in the dining room.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegetarians\/Vegans<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carnival takes you beyond the \u201chere\u2019s a garden salad and French fries\u201d route. (However, feel free to load up on the salad and fries if that\u2019s what you\u2019d like). According to vegan blogger, Andrea from Oh Dear Drea<\/a>, it was overwhelmingly easy to find vegan options onboard.<\/p>\n

The buffet and main dining room will always have vegetarian\/vegan-friendly options for breakfast. However, if you want to start your day with something different, try the veggie breakfast burrito at BlueIguana Cantina<\/a>. As for dinner, you can\u2019t miss the veggie burger at Guy\u2019s Burger Joint <\/a>. It\u2019s a crowd favorite!<\/p>\n

Gluten-Free Diets<\/strong><\/p>\n

In early 2017, over 3.1 million Americans<\/a> adopted a gluten-free diet. So it only makes sense that Carnival implemented gluten-free dining options across their fleet. According to Sanchez, it\u2019s recommended that those that follow a gluten-free diet discuss their meal options with the head waiter or dining room host(ess) in the main dining room on the first night of the cruise. Carnival also keeps several food items readily available like:<\/p>\n
