I'm going on a cruise and have a sever peanut allergy. I'm driving myself crazy about "may contain traces" and cross contamination at the buffet. I'm going mental over " might get sea sick" . I really want this to be a fun holiday, but I'm getting really nervous with only 4 weeks to go - Thanks Fellow Beyond Bluers.

I can not give u much advise as I have not been on a cruise yet. But I will be going on one on December... So I don't know too much about cruising.</P> <P>but as a healthcare worker what I will advise is go talk to your GP before you go about your concerns, and make sure you carry &nbsp;any of your medication on board with you. Also carry stuff with u In case u do have a reaction. As u may know u can talk to your cruise line about your allergy and they should take care in not serving it to you. And I am sure u know that the buffet is &nbsp;generally not the only place eat on most major cruise lines so when u are going to eat make sure u just let them know. I am sure many people who cruise has food allergies as well so it is their job to take every precaution to make sure it is not any cross contamination. &nbsp;</P> <P>Take care I hope u have lots of fun&nbsp;</P> <P>sparkles&nbsp;</P> Sat, 19 Sep 2015 08:45:10 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/freaking-out-about-a-holiday/m-p/124191#M13710 Sparkles183 2015-09-19T08:45:10Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/freaking-out-about-a-holiday/m-p/124192#M13711 <P>Hey Mindful Bubbles,&nbsp;</P> <P>I went overseas a couple of years ago and was so excited. but my anxiety made me stress about it so much.
