It was so easy. It It really was so easy. I think we filled out the forms before we got on.

Don't just assume that something doesn't because who knows what they put in things these days, right? there's a lot of stuff that they may add sesame in

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Contact Special Services as early as possible, ideally as soon as you book.

✓For severe allergies, consider including a doctor's note in your requests.

✓In buffet or quick-service settings, look for a uniformed crew member rather than just the server behind the line to avoid cross-contamination.

✓Communicate with your dining servers the night before to discuss dietary needs or potential menu modifications.

✓Don't wait until you are onboard to handle dietary requests; get them into the system early.
