@Ken the cruiserThank you for posting the Gluten Free dessert options! A few months ago, I was also placed on a GF diet. My first cruise as GF is coming up on Summit next month, so I really appreciate anything you can post about DW's Gluten Free experience. In all my 20+ years of cruising I never really paid attention to the GF options. Is it easy for her to find GF breads? That's a major concern for me.

Great story about your golden retriever.

I haven't flown since when you had to wear a mask, so since you mentioned people coughing, it got me wondering, do some people still mask up for flights? I'd appreciate a report back after your flight. Safe travels.

Really enjoyed your review. So well written. Hope you decide to cruise again!

I've stayed in 6240, also on the angle. Those 4 cabins have large balconies which is great. The view of the lifeboats below never bothered me.

Thanks. That's one of my English Cocker Spaniels. I've bred and shown them for about 25 years.

So happy to hear you made it to DFW and have plans in place for tomorrow. Rest well this evening!

I've cruised solo several times. On Oasis, I was seated at a two top, but they are so close together you can have a conversation with the tables next to you. I've also been seated at tables with couples or other solos. Just go to the MDR when you board, and ask bout where you are seated for dinner and table size and table mates. If it's not to your liking, ask to change.

Thank you for sharing your adventures once again. Really enjoyed reading this thread.

Following along. Really interested in how your 7 year old likes the ship and it's activities as I'm thinking of taking my daughter, SIL and two grandsons (6 & 😎 on a Celebrity cruise.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Once again, I am enjoying following you along. Would you be able to post the current On Board Booking Offer flyer?

interesting. Can you post a pic of the other side showing the ingredients.

I don't think anyone answered your question. I always leave books in the library. I was on the 2nd Oasis cruise after the Covid restart and the library was not yet stocked, but I left a couple of books there. Maybe if I really zoom in on the pic I will find them. 😀

Thanks for your review. So glad you finally made it home!

Looking forward to your review. Especially interested in the new menus and how gluten free works on the ship. I am newly gluten free with a few cruises booked and wondering how I will navigate this.

Got the gift box also - 10 PUP points for 1 CC pt. I'd love to hear if anyone out there received a different amount.

Great Pics. Brings back memories of my cruise round the horn.

@goofysmom99 Thank you for all this information. I see that you are sailing on the Summit in February 2023. Can you please report back on what your selections will be for these cruises. I am new to being gluten free and my first cruise as gluten free will be on the Summit in May 2023, so I am really interested in what you chose of the MDR menus, in the OV etc. After cruising for 20+ years, this will be a change for me, and I have to admit, I'm stressing a bit about how I'm going to handle this.

I was wondering the same thing. I've been on the first Edge out of the US and didn't experience these issues. Also, was on the Apex, and no noise. 67 feet could just be too much, but I'm not an engineer. The Reflection is not an Edge class ship so I do not think you can compare since it is a different design.

Having the same issue with someone in our group booked with a group booking. I was a able to link and make reservations for 5 of our group, We figure we will deal with the 1 other person as soon as we board.

Thank you!

If you have medical dietary restrictions, how do you let staff know pre-cruise of your needs? I was just placed on a gluten-free diet, and between the new menus and now having to be gluten-free, how does one handle this? My next RC cruise won't be till July on Oasis with family, so I hope things improve by then. Has anyone that has to be gluten-free cruised with the new menus yet?

Gen X - Thanks for your comparison summary. And please post a link on this thread to your July MSC cruise when it gets up and running. I know I'll forget without a reminder to check the MSC boards.

Not happy about this either, as I love live music. But, if they are doing this, they should make the Jazz on 4 the smoking casino and make the main casino smoke free. I can't even stand walking through the casino at times because of all the drifting smoke. Just my 2 cents, not that it means anything to RC.
