Ahoy there, Sylvia! Welcome to our happy and helpful corner of planDisney!
As a Disney cruiser who also has a dietary restriction and has family members with food allergies, I understand the need to ensure that my dietary needs are met ahead of my Disney cruise. Let me be the first to reassure you that Disney Cruise Line does their best to accommodate guests’ dietary restrictions and food allergies. In fact, this is genuinely one of my favorite things about Disney Cruise Line and one of the reasons I keep coming back, as I love this added peace of mind. I would be honored to share more about this regarding your cruise aboard the Disney Adventure.
Disney Cruise Line
takes food allergies and dietary restrictions very seriously across the entire fleet, including on board the
Disney Adventure. Guests should
notify Disney Cruise Line as early as possible, so that arrangements can be made and safe handling can be planned for upon the guests' arrival.
To notify Disney Cruise Line of a dietary restriction, you should open up your reservation on either the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App or the Disney Cruise Line website, and navigate to “Special Requests”. From there, click “Dietary Preferences” and click on the dietary restriction you’d like to notify them of.
To notify Disney Cruise Line of a food allergy, in your reservation you should navigate to “Special Services” and then “Dietary Requirements”. Choose the food allergy and/or dietary requirement that you would like them to be aware of.
After making the notation online, I also advise
calling Disney Cruise Line to ensure the requests have been made. This is also where you can have any questions answered pertaining to the severe allergies you mentioned.
Once on board, rest assured that your Dining Team (Head Server, Server, and Assistant Server) will all have been notified of your family members' dietary needs/food allergies. During the first dinner of your
Rotational Dining schedule, your Dining Team will go over all the preparations that are being made to meet those dining/allergy needs, as well as the places on board that can accommodate them.
As to which dining locations can accommodate your allergy request, please note that this is never a guarantee in every single dining location on board, especially with food allergies, where separate kitchens may be required to ensure a lack of cross-contamination. This has also been my experience. While all of the Rotational Dining restaurants have been able to meet my dietary restrictions, only some, but not all, of the quick-service locations have been able to. Your Dining Team will go over exactly which dining locations on board can meet your request, as well as any protocols that are in place throughout the different dining locations.
Sylvia, I hope that I was able to offer reassurance for a delicious and accommodating dining experience on board. I wish you many wonderful memories aboard the beautiful Disney Adventure! Please sail back to planDisney if you have any other questions.
You’ve Got a Friend in Me,
Rana
