Creator's Key Takeaways

So, why this video? Well, this is something that has started to affect us in that uh alpha gal uh my wife was bitten by that lonear tick that makes you uh allergic to mammal meat.

So, I would tell you that depending on your circumstances, if you have uh allergies of any sort, um you still may able may be able to go on a cruise.

If you're going to do a cruise, the first thing I would tell you to do, uh, is about a week before the cruise, uh, send you can can message the ship and an email about the dining for and let them know the allergies you got.

So, if you focus on the experience and that's what's important to you, it won't be as much on the food end.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Contact the cruise ship 45 to 90 days beforehand to notify them of allergies.
βœ“Contact the ship 7 days prior to sailing via email to make requests.
βœ“Stay out of buffets and focus on the main dining room for meals.
βœ“Bring your own plant-based butter and snacks if needed.
βœ“Bring at least two EpiPens if you have severe allergies.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cruise lines cannot guarantee an allergy-safe environment β€” Understand they do their best but have limits; communicate clearly with staff.
Airborne allergens like peanuts or seafood smells β€” If highly sensitive, cruising may not be safe; focus on non-food aspects of the cruise.
Limited food options and disappointment with vegan meals β€” Manage expectations; focus on the overall cruise experience rather than food.
