palofmine Posted March 30, 2014 #26 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have a seafood allergy, not air borne. My son has a peanut allergy, not airborne. Oasis, and last year on Grandeur.. main dining room was very good about the first night mentioning the allergy and double checking everything. I still carry an epi pen and benadryl. I also like how the buffets have ingredients now, on the cards, above the food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palofmine Posted March 30, 2014 #27 Share Posted March 30, 2014 This is why i also called Royal and told them that my son had a peanut allergy and would like a table for 4 and not sit with other guests, even though my sons allergy is NOT airborne.

Jobeth66 Posted March 30, 2014 #28 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I have a shellfish allergy & hubby is mildly allergic to peanuts & tree nuts (only if ingested), and due to health restrictions other than allergies, I have a lot of dietary no-nos, so we generally watch what we're eating pretty closely. I'll notify RCI of our allergies before we get on the ship, but for anything that's on my 'don't eat it' list, I will police myself. With regard to anyone at my table, I would never expect them to curtail what THEY eat or order in order for ME to feel "safe". If I or one of my children had a severe enough allergy that even being around something like peanut dust was an issue, they wouldn't be eating in the main dining room, they'd be eating in the room. And/or wearing a surgical mask to make sure they weren't affected by other people's food. The tables in the MDR/buffet are close enough together that there's no way you could just ask that the people at YOUR table don't indulge - you'd have to ask the people at nearby tables, too, and that's more than unreasonable.

Exactly... if it was an airborne allergy that my son had, we would not be going. I would never ask someone to not eat something due to my kids allergy.
