All she eats is red meat and dairy. If it swam, flew, or grew from the ground it wasn't food.

On my first Disney Cruise I was seated with a young couple from Longue Island. Each night, as our menu filled with exquisite dishes was presented, she would whine and complain that every item was just too weird. She would then order chicken fingers or mac 'n cheese from the children's menu.

I wonder what these folks would do if they had NO choice ... my guess would be either grow as human beings by trying new things or lose weight. Both good options! ~When did 400 become the new 200?~

Originally Posted By dshyates My kids eat all kinds of stuff. My DD12 LOVES Escargot and Mussels. My DD8 LOVES Sushi and Seared Ahi Tuna. That is why I am put off by V$As age restrictions. They would LOVE the place. And I am confident they would be well behaved princesses. When they were inky-dinks I took them for tea with Mary Poppins (Paradise Pier Hotel@DLR) and they were practically perfect.

Originally Posted By MPierce When I was young I refused to eat eggs. My mother decided that I was acting like a spoiled brat about it, so she decided I was going to eat a scrambled egg one morning. I threw up all over the table. I didn't eat eggs again until I was an adult.

As for the poster who was stuck with the couple from Long Island - that's why I don't think I'd like the cruise style table sharing. I'm fine with eating with other people, if they changed each time, or if there was some choice. But being stuck with the same people over and over seems like a big roll of the dice.
