So more than anything my husband and I would like to take our family on a cruise to Caribbean/Bahama
So more than anything my husband airport hotels bangkok and I would like to take our family on a cruise to Caribbean/Bahamas for a vacation. Kids are 9, 7 and 6. We have never cruised before. We live in Alberta, Canada and can fly out of Edmonton or Calgary.
We have a vegan diet (no meat, dairy or eggs...or airport hotels bangkok any animal products). Thus limiting our cruise lines to choose from. I know I cant use Carnival or Royal Caribbean as they said they do not know how to accommodate this, but, Norwegian, Disney airport hotels bangkok and Celebrity can, and I havnt yet checked with MSC.
I think cruising any line as a vegan would be incredibly difficult. Since you are vegans you already know that eating out and explaining your special diet needs is difficult - people airport hotels bangkok understand vegetarian far better than vegan. On cruises where they mass-prepare thousands of meals/day, I can not imagine how you could safely avoid things like stocks, airport hotels bangkok seasonings, etc that do not contain some animal product. Even breads often have an egg wash on crust.
Do you have a travel agent? I mean a local person that you can set down with face to face and work all this out? That would help a lot. Like for instance, I have heard that most North Americans have bad experiences on MSC.
Nevertheless, I agree with the posters who caution you that because of the large number of additives, it's harder to be absolutely certain you aren't getting something you don't want. If you are that strict, then I think a cruise airport hotels bangkok is not for you.
There are no regular cabins that will accommodate 5 people on any of these ships. None. And on MSC, kids only sail free if they are in the same regular cabin with their parents, so again, airport hotels bangkok that's not going to happen for you.
A money-saving idea is to book a regular outside (non-balcony) airport hotels bangkok cabin and a regular inside cabin across the hall. Any cabin that naturally accommodates 5 is going to be far more expensive than anything you can afford.
And don't take any excursions. Do everything on your own, and you'll save tremendously. Spend most of your time on the beach, and take taxis where necessary; they are almost always less expensive than an excursion for 2 adults and 3 kids.
Here's a final thought. Don't sail from Florida. Instead, sail on the new Norwegian Breakaway from NYC. The flights may be cheaper for you (or not, so you have to price these out). These cruises are a bit more expensive, but you may save the balance in flight costs. And if you plan carefully, some weeks are definitely less expensive than others, especially between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I also think you will need 2 cabins - just beware that cruise line will not let you officially book 3 minors into one cabin and 2 adults into another - there needs to be an adult in each cabin. After you are onboard, no one cares who sleeps where, but you will be issued a keycard airport hotels bangkok that opens your door cabin door only.
Vegan diet can be problematic but is very possible on a cruise ship as there are plenty of fresh fruits and vegtables on the buffets. There are also dried nuts and fruits on teh salad bar. Choices could become somewhat limiting after seeing the same things everyday for a few day. I have seen
Speak to the Maitr'd at the dining room and see what they can do for you. You will be surprised at how accomdating they can be. The ship has their own bakery so they should be able to tell you what ingridents are in there.
airport hotels bangkok My wife is Indian and we have always gotten special food for her, Indian food so I think you have a decent chance. I would forget airport hotels bangkok MSC completely. Like Eschew says speak to the Maitre'd. They are likely to be as accomodating as possible.
I recently sailed airport hotels bangkok with NCL. On the Norwegian Sun there are family cabins for 5. There are 2 twin beds which can be put together to form a Queen, a sofa sleeper for 2 and a single that pulls out of the wall. It would be tight on space, but it's available. I don't know if it's cheaper than 2 smaller cabins. The advantage I see is not needing an adult in each cabin. Perhaps there are some adjoining cabins, but the best we could do was book a second cabin directly across the hall. Our minors were 16, so we were ok w/that.
