Rare Bound4Bermuda Posted March 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hello. My daughter has Type 1 diabetes. I believe the Menu Mate allows you to filter by ingredients for allergens, but I don’t think there is a way to get carb counts, correct? Is there a place that I can at least view standard MDR menus in advance so we can try to plan meals and guesstimate carb counts in preparation? We’ll be on Venezia 8-day Eastern Caribbean, if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I did contact them with a list of needs, like a sharps container for insulin needles and a fridge for extra insulin—plus asking about menus—and they just gave me a canned response to ask my steward and/or contact the medical center onboard. I saw the post about the night 1 calamari and figured I could get more info on the menus here. Are they posted somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted March 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I don't think Carnival makes their nutrition information available. I usually just try my best (ie; I stick to things like the carved meat station, etc). I am not sure if the menu mates offers nutrition information or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowballs mom Posted March 13, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2023 You can see the maitre'd for your dining room on embarkation day and let them know about dietary needs. They will arrange with the wait staff to preview the next day's menu and can also do some modifications if you order the day before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted March 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Your best bet is to know portion sizes. If you look in on any of the ‘Live from…’ threads, they often post menus for the MDR. Menus are standard across the fleet, not ship specific or itinerary focused. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowballs mom Posted March 13, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2023 With regard to portion sizes, we were on several B2Bs on the Sunrise this past January. I found the portion sizes for starchy items like potatoes and rice were about what a true serving would be (not supersized). However, there were not enough vegetables served with the dinners I ordered, and some were starchy. If your daughter will eat it, steamed broccoli is available every night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the menus from a recent cruise on the Celebration which will be representative of what you will see across the fleet. https://www.saintgregtravel.com/celebration-mdr-menus/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
