Gluten free offerings at Tea and Baristas?

[aldrichm7]

Does Oceania routinely offer gluten free items at afternoon teas?  At Baristas coffee shop?  If not, is it possible to request gluten free cookies, pastries, etc once on board or does this have to be arranged prior to boarding,?

At tea, yes, but very limited. Usually scones and one other item. I’ve never seen GF offered at Baristas.

I definitely remember GF cookies offered multiple times in multiple venues. Shall we start a “cookie” thread?🫢

I have had the same experience.You can request Gluten free at Tea. but if there are gluten free offerings at Barristas they are not identified.

If you are gluten-sensitive, not celiac, then you probably won’t have a problem eating all the breads, pastries, cakes, cookies, pastas, etc. Oceania doesn’t use North American flour, they use French flour and probably European too. I am gluten-sensitive and have no problem on the ship. North American flour is the culprit.

They have GF offerings either readily available or on request (e.g., not on the tea cart, but over in the prep area). If you have something like celiac, you should let O know more than 60 days ahead since they will need to be more careful with all of the food prep. If you are sensitive, then you probably don't need to let them know ahead of time.
