I am interested in the cruise but want to check something regarding the food. I am not vegetarian but l don't eat meat. I do, however, eat and absolutely love fish and seafood. I don't want to order the complete vegetarian option but would it be possible to make the regular menus work, ie, including seafood and fish but no meat dishes? Thank you.
