WORTH IT?? Being VEGAN on ROYAL CARIBBEAN Cruise // New vegan menu on Royal Caribbean Dec. 2019

[@tammyt4959]

The look on Q’s face when he said “I had a lotta pasta man” was priceless and made me laugh. 😂 It was like he was reliving the misery of being stuffed with too many noodles.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha totally! 😂😂

[@susanfoley3018]

Your experience sounds like me going anywhere with family or friends. I'm just happy to be invited.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Haha very true! 😄😄

Just completed an 8 night cruise on jewel of the seas. Same line, different ships and some things were different than you describe. I didn’t have a vegan menu in the mdr- there was always a vegan option on the regular menu. No choices but I was always happy with it. My waiter always asked if I’d like to alter the meal in any way and made sure I knew they could whip me up something different. Also, the jewel windjammer food was always labeled, and usually had allergen info on it. I had a wonderful time, and finding a vegan lychee tart on the buffet was such a pleasant surprise! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh wow good to know! This cruise was also end of 2019, so I was wondering how the options may have changed. My in-laws are going on a cruise in May so I’ll make sure to ask them to check out what’s vegan at windjammer! Sounds like you had great options. 😀😀

[@TheShrinkingShadow]

We just got back from a great vegan cruise! The cruise line is MSC. We were on the MSC Divina. The cruise is called The Holistic Holiday At Sea. There are tons of great speakers including plant based/vegan doctors and animal activists such as James Aspey. The food was great! There is a vegan buffet for breakfast and lunch - there are vegan options for the dinner buffet too but not as many. Mostly pizza and pasta. There are vegan dining rooms which are very nice! My only complaint is that some of the staff comes across very rude. Others were very friendly and helpful. All in all a great cruise. I’m ready to go again! 😁

[@LetsEatPlants]

plant_based121 * Wow this is awesome!!! Thanks so much for letting us know! I will definitely look into that. Although it might be a while before we’re on a cruise again. 😅😅 But definitely good to know what the options are. And thanks for giving us your thoughts on it as well!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Very helpful!

[@grahamto8181]

I'm vegetarian and on my Oasis of the Seas cruise in December 2019 I tried the vegan menu. I agree that it was unremarkable, mostly deep-fried, and honestly not up to the level I was expecting. I suggest asking to look at the daily vegan menus for the entire week. I was shocked to see honey was included in the spring roll sauce, but I was assured this would be removed across the entire fleet. Sewage is separated by using a centrifuge and the solids are incinerated. The Solarium Cafe had a lot of vegan options including grilled vegetables and fruit. The Vitality Cafe has vegetable and fruit juices which they are glad to customize for you. I wish that I could do a fully vegan cruise like the Holistic at Sea cruise, but the cost is, unfortunately, double for single travelers.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Interesting!! Glad to know we were not alone in thinking it was unremarkable. 😄 Thanks for the tips about Solarium and Vitality cafe! We didn’t have a drink package so we didn’t try any of the juices. I’m sure they are nice though! Yes, completely agree about the price of the all vegan cruise! Maybe one day. 😊😊 Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@SA-cx1gk]

FYI I went on the vegan cruise years ago as a solo traveler and they put me with another solo woman so we didn't have to pay double. It was a great experience as a vegetarian at that time. The earlier you book it, the cheaper it is.

[@ellamarie9429]

This was helpful! Im going on my first cruise next month. Thank you for this review!

[@LetsEatPlants]

Wooo! Hope you have an awesome time!! 🥳🥳 And so glad the review was helpful! 🤗

[@sunnyoutdoors]

The vegan menu will IMPROVE for sure...

[@LetsEatPlants]

1000% agree! Veganism is definitely on the rise and it's so amazing to see all the vegan options popping up everywhere now!! 🤩🙌🏻 Can't wait to see even more great things in the future!

[@suzannewooten2849]

Thank you for the review. It was very helpful.

[@LetsEatPlants]

You’re welcome! Glad to hear it!

[@stephaniemartel2757]

Why is tofu not more widely available. Just saute some tofu and spices and throw it in a pan at the buffet. Ugh!

[@LetsEatPlants]

So true 😂😂

[@KCcouponing]

Thank you so much for this thorough review with great footage of the food and menus! I wonder who was in charge of making those vegan menus. It looks like some of it is made by people who have never cooked vegan food before and are just slapping some veggies together with no thought to it being satisfying or even enough calories to fill a person up. Still better than nothing on most cruises though! Personally I'm pretty uncomfortable asking for help or making special requests so it's really helpful to have the menu.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Organized Confetti 😂😂 very true!!! I don’t think they consulted any vegans when making the menu. Some items were good, but some definitely had room for improvement! But just the fact that they had a “vegan menu” made me feel like they do care and are working hard to make sure there are vegan options... which is so awesome! 😄🌱 I didn’t feel it was necessary to ask too much about the options personally, so don’t worry too much if you’re uncomfortable with that. 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the review!! Means a lot to me to hear that. 🤗

[@statinskill]

Well a big part of the problem is that you're not a priority because people like you are the absolute exception and you're not willing to pay what it would cost to really accommodate you. Because you would be screaming bloody murder if you had to pay a 30% vegan surcharge on your cruise.

[@dootliao2136]

Wonderful video - thanks for sharing!

[@LetsEatPlants]

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed! 🤗🤗

[@thatnormalveganguy2216]

Amazing video / you two are absolutely wicked together - you are so funny together! I went on oasis of the seas and went to the ‘healthy cafe’ near the solarium every day . But I would as you said, like to go on a pure vegan cruise , but after corona I’m not 100% on whether I would do another one .....🤨 but was great to watch you two ❤️🇬🇧

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha thanks!! 🙏 Oooo yes, the healthy cafe. I think we might have had something like that next to the gym. Agree about a cruise post-Corona! Might be a while before I go on another one. Also, doing a bit more research, it doesn't seem the vegan cruises are any more eco-friendly, unfortunately. 😕 Maybe it's just not meant to be for me to do another one. 😂😂

[@gailfuson4790]

Just went on and agree with you this cruse

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh dear, I was hoping they would have improved in the last 4 years but I guess not. 😓😓

[@ramansailopal2479]

Went on the Anthem of the seas in May this year. My wife is vegetarian and it was a nightmare. Lack of labelling in the windjammer. Poor choice, cross contamination (bits of meat in the vegetarian food) We spoke to a chef in the Windjammer and we basically were told to pick the vegetables out of the egg based vegetarian lasagna. Was a real shame as we have been on many Royal Caribbeam cruises pre covid and they were superb.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh no! That sounds like a terrible experience. 😣😣 So unfortunate it’s gone downhill!

[@celestepiccolo6586]

Great video! My husband and I are looking into a cruise.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh nice! I’m glad this one was helpful! I was surprised to hear in some recent comments that actually the vegan scene hadn’t changed much onboard, which is kind of disappointing… but at least they do still have vegan options! Hopefully they will work to improve those in the coming years. 😊

[@celestepiccolo6586]

@@LetsEatPlants yes, I was surprised to read about that as well. I guess I won’t get my hopes up for anything spectacular 😂

Thank you ! This was so helpful. I’m going on one next year and I was so scared there would be nothing for me to eat

[@LetsEatPlants]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 🤗🤗 Yea I was pretty impressed with how much they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. 😄 I just hope the recipes improve over time. 😜 Enjoy your cruise!

[@brodysisson1]

I am going on Oasis Of The Seas in June and I'm hoping by then the vegan options have improved!

[@LetsEatPlants]

The Hawk I doubt the buffet options will have improved by then.. but maybe the dining hall will have! Let us know. 🤗🤗🤗

[@malaplava4865]

I actually just watched a documentary on RC and environmental concerns about dumping garbage, sewer etc in the middle of the ocean but RC invested in new filtering systems that “reduce” dumping waste. It’s on Amazon Prime. Should check it out. I am vegan and wondering how much vegan friendly foods RC served so your video was great and informative 🥰

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh that would be great to watch! Thank you, I will check it out. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Very glad you found the vid informative… and I do hope they’ve made some improvements in the menu since we made this video! 😛

[@WillsThoughts]

Wow that is really cool. I remembered some type of main dining hall event every day on my cruises but it seems like it wasn’t unlimited. For you you said it was which I would’ve loved but it was kind a like you chose your three-course meal and you could only do it once per day

[@LetsEatPlants]

Well... truthfully, it depends on your server. Some of them might give you weird looks if you order off the entire menu (it’s A LOT of food)... but every time we did, we also ate it all... so we didn’t feel guilty about wasting food or anything like that. Granted it was also split between the two of us so that made it a bit easier to finish it all! 😆😆 But yes, you can choose to eat everything that’s on the vegan menu, if you wish! It is only once per day though. Only for dinner. 😁

[@catfish9539]

Great video, not that I would ever want to go. You should try one of the vegan cruises next! High carb Hannah has a video of one.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yes! I saw she did that vegan cruise. I did look into it, but honestly, I'm not sure we'd do another cruise again. 😂😂 I think we both kinda got over the experience after this one. But I am glad to see they have that as an option. 😊

[@Razzlewolfflight]

There’s a huge misconception that vegans only eat bland, boring food. It’s slowly hanging…

[@Razzlewolfflight]

*changing

[@LetsEatPlants]

So true!! So glad to see it changing. 😊😊😊

[@Soulrelocation]

Great review thanks

[@LetsEatPlants]

Glad you enjoyed! 😊😊

[@MS-ip2sh]

This was sooo awesome! May I ask if you'd recommend the cruise food options being better for vegetarians?

[@LetsEatPlants]

So glad you enjoyed! 🤗🤗 Yes, I think if you are vegetarian it will be much easier. 😆😆 Lots of dessert options for you!

[@sjones902]

Thank you so much for doing this review. I enjoy cruising but the Plant-Based experience has not been stellar. I have hopes that it will improve if there is increased demand and helpful feedback to the cruise lines. 😊

[@LetsEatPlants]

I agree! Really hope they improve and have been surprised to hear they haven’t changed much since we went in 2019. Hopefully more changes are coming. 😊😊

[@sunnyoutdoors]

I wrote to RCL to hire vegan consultants like Chef Chole... and other vegan chefs

[@LetsEatPlants]

Genius! Thank you for doing that!! Hope they listen 😄😄

[@chuckiis]

Very usefull infos! I've been to 2 cruises when I wasn't vegan, but It looks like by you guys recent experience, It's not hard, maybe a little tricky at the small cities off the ship. And I love pasta btw.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Glad you found this helpful! Yea we found it was pretty easy actually ... definitely just ask a lot of questions. 😄And if you love pasta you’ll be set! 😆 The cities were a bit more difficult but we did find a couple vegan restaurants while we were exploring! (Googlemaps was great for that. 😄) Thanks for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the vid. 😊

[@natashaberrry6539]

thank you for making thissss

[@LetsEatPlants]

😁😁😁 You’re welcome! We loved making it! 💕🌱

[@pohanahawaii]

Thanks so much for all the tips! Personally, I'd be happy with all the veg options you listed on this cruise because they're what I usually ate at all the Vegas buffets anyway 😂. You're right about the negative environmental impacts of cruise ships though. There are vegan cruises in Florida and the food is amazingly gourmet but they don't have it all the time, or many different routes, and still have to rent out the use of a regularly polluting commercial ship. But with that said, I'm quite tempted to take advantage of the many cruise lines we regularly have here in Hawai'i as I've never been on one so yeah, maybe, just once 🌺.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha you'll love it then!! 😄😄 And how lucky you have access to so many options being in Hawai'i! What a beautiful place to live. 🤗🌱 It *is* somewhat of a struggle on the eco side. I hope in the future vegan cruises do more to implement eco practices. But mainly I am glad that they are taking vegan diet into consideration now and that there are decent options for us onboard. 😊

[@pohanahawaii]

@@LetsEatPlants Yes, thank you, pre-pandemic several cruise ships literally docked about a mile from where I live. Everytime I drove by, they were always very tempting 😀. However, I was really saving for the vegan cruise in Florida but, logistically, that just hasn't worked out. I checked on cruise ships environmental report card after your video here and I'm rather surprised to see that Disney has the highest ranking! What have you found and which cruises will you guys consider in the future? 🌺

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@pohanahawaii Yep, totally understand that! And very interesting you found that Disney had the best rating! I feel like when I did the research before I had similar findings... but now it's been so long I can't remember for sure. 😅 I don't think we'll go on a cruise for a while... but if we ever go on another, we will have to do some extensive research. (And if we do end up going I"m sure we'll make a vid about it. 😄) I would be curious to know which one you end up choosing if you go! 🌱😊

[@pohanahawaii]

@@LetsEatPlants Tbh, me neither anytime soon. I'm still kinda bummed out that I've passed the age to fully enjoy Disney themed stuffs 😂. As for other cruise lines, not sure what we can do to force them into making greener choices when it's been over a decade since the alarms were raised? Luckily, the pandemic has put a temporary kink in the industry. Though boring for us, it's been good for the environment 😊. 🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@pohanahawaii 😂😂 Well said!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Happy Halloween to you as well. 😊👻🎃

[@bourge66]

Thanks for posting this content. I recently went on two Royal Caribbean cruises (Anthem & Odyssey) in Dec 2021. I was hoping to continue my vegan transition journey of 2 months. I didn’t like the vegan menus as much in My Time Dining so they accommodated me by adding my favorite vegan Indian food choices for the rest of the 6 days! I ate vegan 98% of the time because i may have eaten a delicious light desert and had creamer in my coffee once! :LOL All in all, i ate so healthy and was greatly satisfied with my overall experience.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh wow, congrats on the journey to veganism! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That's great!! I love that they were accommodating on your cruises. That was definitely the experience I had as well... I felt they went above and beyond in making sure I had plenty of vegan options. 🤗 Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us!

Great review

[@LetsEatPlants]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed 🤗🤗

[@kimlawton7934]

On a Royal Caribbean ship right now and they have done away with the dedicated vegan menus. There are also no vegan lunch options in the main dining room or the buffet. It’s plain awful.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Omg no way!!!! How could they have gone backwards. 😭😭😭 That is so sad to hear, my husband and I were considering to go again next year. 😣

[@hhhhhhhhhh1919]

Wow that's weird because when I went on a royal Caribbean cruise, the dishes were clearly labeled with dietary restrictions/allergies. It must be ship by ship? That should definitely change omg

[@LetsEatPlants]

I have heard ship but ship can be different! It may also be timing!?? When did you go?

[@Joshua-we2us]

You guys should connect with Vegan Michele channel. Kris and Michele were performers on cruise ships and she has a video on eating vegan on ships. 🙂😀🌱💚

[@LetsEatPlants]

Thanks for letting me know about Vegan Michele! I hadn't heard of her channel before! I will definitely check her out. 😃 I doubt I will be going on another cruise any time soon... but I would still love to hear other people's ideas for eating vegan on ships. 😄 Definitely sounds like my kind of content! Thank you for sharing! 🌱🌻🤗

I experienced exactly the same. So disappointed they were not accomadating enough or prepared. The food was disappointing. I just got back on Thursday. Several years later, the same situation.

[@lisamarieclark6778]

Needing an allergy and vegan friendly menu has put me off on traveling. We don't drink alcohol or party either. I really want to relax and go to Jamaica. Any suggestions for a future trip?

[@LetsEatPlants]

Oh I see! Well a cruise definitely would have options for you. They were very accommodating when we were there, and that was 3 years ago already! Their vegan options have hopefully even improved since then. 😄 They're definitely very careful about allergies as well, and alcohol you wouldn't have to worry about since it's a separate purchase and not included in the price of your cruise. I haven't been to Jamaica, but I've heard there are some vegan all-inclusives there! That might be another option. 😊

[@i123456987654]

how much did your trip cost?

[@LetsEatPlants]

I think it was around $2400 for the 2 of us? Not including gratuities, etc. that you have to pay once on the ship. 😊

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yesss! I would love to know how it goes for you and see if the options have been updated by then. Vegan cheese and vegan ice cream would be amaaazing. 🤩 I feel like Impossibles and/or Beyond should be standard everywhere by now but I'm probably dreaming on that one. 😂😂

I would say if your vegan and your into food then i would not go on cruise like id rather plan a trip Where im doing fun activities in jacksonville like getting my nails done pedicure a Organic massage, Adventure landing water Park Bowling, staying at a Vacation Home and swimming in a large pool from the backyard going to be still floats for a detox soak or detox soak in jacuzzi picnic park feeding geese and eating out at my favorite restaurant that offers alot of vegan options. I CAN EVEN GO ON THE SKYWAY DOWNTOWN WHICH IS FUN AND GO GRAB A PASSIONFRUIT JUICE NOW SEE THAT SEEMS WAY MORE FUN THAN A ACTUAL CRUISE WHERE AS BESIDES A WATERPARK AND INTERACTING WITH THE ANIMALS AND SAILING THATS ALL REALLY PREETY YOU ARE DOING ON A CRUISE! MY TRIP I MENTIONED IS DOING WAY MORE PERSONAL AND FUN ACTIVITIES AND INCLUDES BOWLING YOU CAN DO MORE FUN THINGS WITHOUT A CRUISE AND PLUS THE ADDED BENEFIT OF VEGAN FOOD AT YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN MY CASE SUSHIKO!!! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@LetsEatPlants]

Haha definitely we usually do as well. But since we were already going on this trip to be with family, we'd still love to see more vegan options!

[@drdata1967]

Unfortunately chefs who do cooking on a mass , industrial or I don’t know institutional volumes really are t great at either coming up with creative and satisfying dishes for any special diets , but especially vegans. Sorry the main dining room was so uninspiring. I saw that if you are kosher they actually order your food in frozen meals from a caterer so you’re never eating fresh food. I’m not sure but I think that’s just because there so many rules about cooking kosher food that doesn’t really have to do with the food, but more so on it being blessed or the dishes it’s served in or the pots and pans.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Well said! I hope they update their options as the years go on and vegan eating becomes more and more mainstream. 😊😊 It was definitely nice that at least they did have some options for us! And yes.. hopefully better ones will be coming soon! 😄

It's not really even that hard. Buffets can have items to make a bowl. Grains, potatoes, various veggies, salad greens, sauces to dribble over it. Good to go! But it's like cooks don't know what to do without slapping meat and cheese onto a dish. Glad to see things are starting to change, they are trying... I guess.

The food is suposed to be a great aspect of the cruise Im spending 1 thousand dollars i want GREAT VEGAN FOOD! WITH GREAT VEGAN DESERT OPTIONS! NOT ALOT OF SELECTION JUST BECAUSE YOUR VEGAN OUTRAGIOUS! THATS WEIRD TO ME CRUISES OUGHT TO OFFER MORE MEAT FREE VEGAN OPTIONS FOR THOSE THAT DONT EAT MEAT EGGS AND DAIRY. NOT EVERYBODY IS INTO MEAT AND PEOPLE HAVE LACTOSE INTOLERANCE CRUISE SHOULD CATER TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE VEGAN!

Oh no!! I hate hearing that it's still the same. 🫠🫠 Really wish the cruise lines would take note of all the complaints!
