This is a copy of the letter RCI sent me in response to my question as to whether they can accommodate gluten free meals aboard their
ships. The letter was dated January 10, 2005.
Good morning,
The ship handles requests for gluten-free meals all the time. There is a
daily alternative menu that includes plain, roasted beef, chicken and
fish, plain rice and baked potatoes. They also bake their own gluten-free
breads.
I recommend you meet with the Maitre 'D to review the menus and identify
those items that need to be avoided or modified, such as salads, etc.
Please send me your reservation numbers so I can let the ship know of your
request.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards

while they don't have a separate GF menu, they do provide GF bread that's baked on board and the daily alternative menu includes plain grilled meats, assorted vegetables and plain white rice and plain baked potatoes.
