Howdy,
Are any of you diabetics or have a family member who is?
My husband is a diabetic and we have been in touch with other cruisers and have a couple of ideas to improve the food for us in a couple of areas. I'm asking for help with this. If you think the following improvements would benefit you or a family member or just want to help us diabetics please write or call the cruise lines with the following suggestions.
1. Their sugar free desserts are very good, however they are sweetened with nutra sweet and lots of diabetics have allergies to that sweetener. There are many great ice creams and desserts sweetened with splenda or malititol which are less likely to have an allergic reaction to it. All these people cant experience the wonderful dessets until this is changed.
2. They need to have sugar free ice cream available ar scoops. Think of all the people, especially children who would love to share an ice cream with their families just like everyone else, at this point they are left out again for another magical experience.Watching others around the pool really can be depressing if you can't join in or your child can't.
3,They bring out a big platter of cookies and brownies everyday by the pool, but again, no sugar free products for those who can't have sugar.
All these items don't sound like much to most people, but try and imagine if you or your child was totally left out of these wonderful experiences. All 3 of these could be fixed very easily by the cruise line with very little cost to them. A person can only eat so much fruit for dessert. I do realize they cant meet everyones dietary requirements, and they do try very hard. I give them very high marks, but there is always room for improvement.
I assure anyone who goes to the cruise line site and contacts them or calls the cruise line, they do welcome all suggestions and we have seen many improvements that have come from suggestions. So we can make a difference if we all work together to help each other.
Thankyou and please let me know if you contact the
DCL as i'm tryning to get some idea of how many are helping our cause.
