Our five-year-old son A.J. loved Camp Ocean on board Carnival Glory<\/a> so much that he never wanted to leave. To hear about all the activities and fun that kept children busy on the ship made me relieved. As a food allergy family, we are very cautious about A.J.\u2019s childcare because a simple snack could make him very ill. He\u2019s very aware of what foods he can safely eat. I shared how our family of picky eaters with varying tastes<\/a>\u00a0found plenty of delicious food on board. He also suffers from asthma usually in winter months.<\/p>\n

I interviewed Ana Ristic, the Carnival Glory\u2019s Youth Director, about all of the precautions they take for children with allergies and asthma in their care. Here\u2019s our interview and a look at Camp Ocean<\/a> play areas for kids age 2-11<\/p>\n

List Safe & Unsafe Foods\/Medical Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

At registration list your child\u2019s safe and unsafe foods. Staff will keep track of it, add it to a master list and double check it at group dining times before food is served.<\/p>\n

I also listed A.J.\u2019s asthma as a medical condition. Since he didn\u2019t have a runny nose or any immediate breathing issues, I felt confident that the ship\u2019s medical staff could handle it. We brought his nebulizer to keep in our room in case he had any breathing issues before bed.<\/p>\n

Drop-off Allergen-free Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parents can bring snacks and food to Camp Ocean for children with food allergies. Talk with the staff first about the food options so they can make sure it\u2019s safe.<\/p>\n

Bring Epipens<\/strong>
\nWe brought A.J.\u2019s Epipen to his first day at camp and left it with the staff. Allergen-safe snacks are served at Camp Ocean. But if he\u2019d participated in any of the group dinner outings, the staff would have brought the Epipen to the dining area in case of an emergency. We also had an Epipen in our personal bags for when we were on excursions off of the ship, swimming or eating together as a family.<\/p>\n

\"MTS_Post3_IMG4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ask About the Red Name Tag<\/strong>
\nEach child with food allergies wore a nametag with red writing as a reminder to the staff. In fact, we brought A.J.\u2019s nametag home as keepsake memory of his first cruise.<\/p>\n

Carry Camp Ocean Provided Mobile Phones\u00a0<\/strong>
\nParents of kids under age two and those with food allergies receive a mobile phone to use on board. As Ana explained if there\u2019s an emergency camp staff immediately contacts the medical team, then the parents.<\/p>\n
