Here
is some general information of when meals
are served aboard ship. We can't be specific

lines and individual ships. It's safe
to say that you can get some food at any
time you'd like. Here are a list of the

Special
Meals For
the most part, special dietary requirements
can be met on board ship. Be advised that
many cruise lines require as much as a
30-day notice (yes, that’s a full month)
in order to ensure the availability of
these meals for you. Here are some guidelines:
A
large assortment of gourmet "Health-Wise"
dishes are now available as part
of the normal fare onboard most
ships.
Vegetarian,
low-salt and low-cholesterol meals
are available on most ships.
Buffets,
poolside grill and café
meals may not include all these
choices, but there is always a
great selection of fresh fruits
and vegetables available for the
healthy lite-bite.
There
are a few meals that must be prepared
off-ship and
packaged prior to sailing. These include*:
Kosher
meals.
Gluten-free
meals.
Other
special medical diet meals.
*It
is recommended that these special
meals be ordered at the time of
your booking.
