Creator's Key Takeaways

if you do have a food allergy make sure and take your own epip pen you want to make sure to have it there handy with you

let your cruise line know before you go let that Cruise Line know before you go

the main dining room is the safest place to eat if you have allergies as opposed to the buffet because your meals will be made fresh

if you're diabetic use a continuous glucose monitor most ships will give you Wi-Fi for free for one device with a doctor's note
