Emerald Princess-tips for celiac

[norwega]

We're on the Wine Country cruise from Vancouver to LA Sept 24-Oct 1. My mom is celiac, and we've noted that in her paperwork. Wondering if anyone has tips especially for the first day? We'll try to get lunch in Vancouver before we board.

TIA

Discuss her problem with the Maitre d' on embarkation day.

Thanks, I had seen the first thread, but not the 2nd two. We'll talk to the Head Chef in the Horizon court as we often eat there for breakfast as we can control how long it takes to grab a bite before we head out. We may try the MDR for sea days.

We haven't been on Princess since 2014. On our last cruise on HAL Eurodam we were pleased to see the buffet arranged so only the crew served food or we could choose small plates were already made up. I believe it might have been to lessen the chance of Norovirus and other viruses as all the guests were not touching the same utensils. A nasty cold virus did spread in the ship, but that's all for the 22 day cruise.
