Q:
Does anyone know what Island Escape is like regarding special diets (Specifically Coeliac/Gluten free)? We never had problems with the (sadly now defunct) Airtours Suncruises, nor more recently with Thomson, but both of those were 'set dining', i.e. same table/waiters every night. Just wondering how Island cope, with open-seating buffet style dining.

We've just returned from a cruise on the Island Escape and in the Windjammer resturaunt which was a buffet there were plenty gluten free options clearly labelled. We ate at night in in the Oasis Resturaunt (waiter service where you paid a supplement but the food was amazing!) and the staff seemed really happy to cater for special diets there too.
There was a good variety of food in all the restuarants.
Have a nice cruise!

hi thanks for pointing that out - I realised my mistake after I wrote it. It was the beachcomber I was talking about and definitely the Island Esacpe. Can't remember which ship had the Windjammer!
