    YTD with Celiac

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    We always do late seating, My oldest son has Celiac, and can't have gluten. On Carnival he orders his meal the night before, and when we arrive at dinner, his food comes with the rest of ours, and has been made to be gluten free, with no cross contamination. We haven't had any problem when at late seating, We have thought about trying Your Time Dining, but wasn't sure how that worked with ordering his meal ahead of time.

     

    I wanted to know if anyone ever had experience with this, and how it worked out for you. Thanks!

    We have same issue with celiac. Have done YTD three cruises and never had a problem. They know where you are sitting from checking in at front. The waiter is automatically notified and your meal is prepaired as requested night before. We have been impresses every time at how it works

    How do the Magic and Breeze have the same gross tonnage as the Dream?

    Tonnage is a measure of the cargo-carrying capacity of a ship. The term derives from the taxation paid on tuns or casks of wine, and was later used in reference to the weight of a ship's cargo; however, in modern maritime usage, "tonnage" specifically refers to a calculation of the volume or cargo volume of a ship. Tonnage should not be confused with displacement, which refers to the actual weight of the vessel.

    Gross register tonnage (GRT) represents the total internal volume of a vessel, where one register ton is equal to a volume of 100 cubic feet (2.83168 m3), a volume that, if filled with fresh water, would weigh around 2,800 kg or 2.8 tonnes. The definition (and calculation) of the internal volume is complex; for instance, a ship's hold may be assessed for bulk grain (accounting for all the air space in the hold) or for bales (omitting the spaces into which bulk, but not baled cargo, would spill). If V stands for the total internal volume in m3, then the GRT equals V / 2.83168, so for a ship of 10,000 m3 total internal volume, the gross register tonnage is 10,000 / 2.83168 = 3531.47 GRT. Gross register tonnage was replaced by gross tonnage in 1994 under the Tonnage Measurement convention of 1969, and is no longer a widely used term in the industry.

    Is Carnival Gay Friendly

    My partner and I have gone on three cruises with Carnival in the last couple of years. The cruises have been awesome. We went to the FOD meeting on the Triumph and was surprised to find about 20 folks every night. Met some great people that we still communicate with. The staff was great and did a great job breaking the ice for everyone. The meetings took place in the wine bar at about 9 or 10 each night. Way better than when we tried Carnival years ago....that was an awful experience with gay jokes and comments abound.....but luckily Carnival and people in general have evolved.
