Of course, I wasn't GF then! However, I do remember that there was lots of fruit..some familiar and some I'd never had before. Mangoes, Papayas, Pinapples, Bananas...tasted great and very figure friendly! Of course, I also remember the dessert tables and the endless tropical drinks by the pool. Mmmmmmmmm.....<BR/><BR/>LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176117971864530272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446114814668752328.post-47954364949189985932009-01-30T10:40:00.000-05:002009-01-30T10:40:00.000-05:00Good for you!

The only thing we did was get off the ship, take a bus to the beach where we snorkeled and there were many children trying to help us carry our gear. In other words, they were begging for money. The snorkeling was great. <BR/>Good luck planning your trip.

I wasn't off gluten at the time so I'm not sure how that would have gone, but at least with a buffet you can pick and choose your own food, though the downside of that is that it's pre-prepared. In general these places will bend over backwards for you though and I'd think that as long as they know what to do -- and they should, given the number of people that go through these things -- you should be fine. But it's definitely something to check on.<BR/><BR/>One tip: on the first day, when you feel like you've got all the time in the world there, they sit you down and try to sell you excursions. This gets you out of the hotel so they don't have to feed you for the day. They can be fun, but the time goes by faster than you think, so remember to budget time to just lay around; it's the best thing to do at a place like that. Also, make sure to hit the spa.
