Anyone have experience with MSC Gluten Free Dining Options?

[stan_ee]

Hi All,

 

DW has gluten intolerance and can't eat gluten. Any MSC gluten free travelers out there have experiences to share? We are sailing on MSC Seashore 12/23. This is a recent thing and we haven't cruised since it hit her.

I didn't read them, but, if you search gluten in this forum, there are over 50 posts, mostly in a thread about the Virtuoso.  I hope this helps.  Good luck!

I have some gluten free dinner menus from the Seaside that are a few years old (2018) but will give you an idea of what they may have available.  I thought I had posted them back then along with gluten free food pics but I can’t find the post 🤔

 

This was the everyday portion of the menu so I will only post it once:

 

and this page changed each night:

Thanks so much!!!! Just to be clear, are each of the menu sheets you posted gluten free. DW will be very happy to hear that!

We sailed in August with great hopes, but it wasn’t good.  
 

We were told  to eat in the MDR only as nothing else on board was GF.  However the first day our breakfast took 2 hours and we felt unsafe in the cramped restaurant. As a result we missed getting tickets for the water park, as by the time we got there at 10am they’d gone!

The next day breakfast the queue was huge, so we went to the buffet and walked to the back to get omelet or eggs, it was the safest we could be. But no pastries or bread.  Just eggs and bacon everyday!  
 

Dinner was slightly better, there was a GF menu and bread, however the menu didn’t change for two days and it was very boring.  My daughter existed on plain . Chicken and veg.   One night we queued for an hour to eat and gave up and went to the buffet, but they didn’t do any GF pizza and only managed to find her a GF veggie burger. No bread! 

The ice cream on deck was GF also in the ice cream shop. The chocolate was GF although made in an environment that handles gluten - we accepted that. 
 

The only restaurant we could pay for that had space  was Indochine, there was limited choice, but it felt safe. 
 

We wouldn’t do MSC again because of the bad cruise experience, but even if it had been great, I wouldn’t do it for the food options on GF.   Italy is usually fantastic GF, so we were surprised the MSC was so bad!

Oh I forgot,  they did make a fabulous GF cake to celebrate our daughter passing her exams.  I prepaid for this, then realised we could have got one free as Doamond status!
