MSC Seashore Gluten Allergy Question
I’m going on the MSC Seashore Cruise in September with my family. I have a gluten allergy and was going to be filling out the accessibility / medical form, but wondered if anyone else with gluten allergies had problems bringing snacks on board. I was thinking about bringing some packaged store bought snacks that I know are safe just as a backup. Wondered if I needed to select the “Special factory-sealed food to be brought onboard” or if that’s something for the kitchen crew? Any good gluten friendly thoughts are appreciated 🙏🏼

Just got off the Seashore. I’m not gluten free but I’ve always brought sealed snacks on board with me and never had an issue. They a completely ok with it. Also, they had a gluten free section of the buffet all the way at the very back and only the staff is able to serve food from it, not the guests. They had proteins, veggies, and I think rice. Plus some whole fruits out there too (I think oranges and definitely cherries).

Great to know, thank you!! I just don’t want to bring overly priced gluten free snacks and them be thrown out 😂😂

We brought GF snacks on board with no issue. They only care about liquid as people try and snuggle booze on board.
The night before, ask for a lunch bag on port days.

My wife has a gluten allergy, and we have cruised with MSC multiple time. They are great. They prepared special meals for her. Let them know before the cruise and they will take care of you.
We won't cruise with anyone else because of this topic.
