Sticking to the main dining room and a designated dining time on cruises might seem counterintuitive especially if you appreciate flexibility and a lot of different options and styles of cuisine. But for food allergy travelers the hot take is that it may actually make your life easier and a lot less stressful to use the main dining room because generally speaking they are set up to be able to accommodate special dietary needs more smoothly. It’s not a hard and fast rule, of course. And I would love to hear your experiences especially with different ships and different cruise lines.
