I've done a lot of searching and found some info, but still have questions.
Still kind of getting used to the gluten free thing. And sometimes it's worth the discomfort to eat something tasty (beignets at Tiana's place, I'm looking at you) but I would like to minimize any reactions, obviously. I'll be on the 2 week Panama Canal cruise on the Wonder so there's a lot of opportunity to feel sick.
I'm pretty okay with the MDR menu's. I have noticed that a lot of the menu's don't have very many GF options (according to what I've seen on line) but it tends to be the older ones that have no options. Are they getting better? I know they'll show me the menu the night before. So...can I ask for anything to be made GF, then? I don't have to stick to a GF option? And it sounds like most people have success? I'm fine with saying, "I'd like X if it can be made GF, but if it can't I'll have whatever is actually labeled GF." Or is that worse for the server/chefs? I figured I'd just leave dessert up to the server and ask them to bring me whatever is GF (and fruit is fine).
Quick service - I can order GF pizza? Is it like a personal sized pizza or a big one? Do they have GF buns for hamburgers? Bread for sandwiches? I hear they have GF chicken tenders? Do they have a dedicated fryer for french fries? (I usually deal fine with possible cross contamination but if there's too much of it, I may have to be more careful). What about the ice cream?
Cabanas - In the past we've eaten breakfast and lunch here. The thought of having someone come out and talk to me every day seems annoying (to them, not me). Are the hash browns GF (Because I could eat nothing but those for the whole trip)? I could switch to eating at a sit down restaurant for lunch but, again, those menu's didn't seem to have a lot of GF options (Feel like I'd rather take my chances with Cabanas). Are there any major surprises on the buffet?
I've read tons about Palo and GF, but that's not my thing, lol. Thanks for the help!
