On board your ship
We’ll always do our best to provide tailored menu options that accommodate your dietary needs on board.
Upon embarking your ship, you’ll be contacted by the Head Waiter to welcome you on board and to explain how to order your food. We’ll be happy to organise and book dining for you in your main dining room, or to make any reservations for the speciality restaurants. Guests with severe allergies are advised to use their main dining room to further minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
In the meantime, here’s some information we’d like you to be aware of, all of which will be explained to you in more detail by your Head Waiter on board:
- Lunch and dinner for your first day on board will be pre-ordered on your behalf to ensure your requirements are met. We'll let you know which restaurant to go to on the day.
- During the main dining room meal service throughout the day, guests are provided with the next day's menus for their choices. Your waiter can then make the pre order for the next day's choices. If you have not come for a meal service or haven’t been given the next day's menu, the menus are sent to your stateroom to complete.
- For our alternative dining venues, we can send a copy of the menu directly to your stateroom to make your selection and pre-order can be made 24 hours in advance.
- Afternoon Tea, which can be booked once on board, includes a pre-made selection of gluten free, no sugar added, vegetarian, and vegan sandwiches and desserts.
- Our Room Service team will be provided with a list of all guests’ dietary requirements and allergies.
