RCI GOING TRANS-FAT-FREE

[ChucksOK]

Just got this from my partner - this is an excerpt from a travel industry-wide announcement:

MIAMI, January 3, 2007 – Royal Caribbean International will become the first cruise line to make the move toward removing trans fat from its menus beginning March 1, 2007, culminating in a fully trans-fat-free menu fleetwide by the end of this year. Effective immediately, trans-fat-free frying oil will replace the old pour-and-fry oil originally used in food preparation, and entirely-new, trans-fat-free menu options will be introduced to Royal Caribbean’s menus.

The trans-fat-free oil was put to the test onboard Navigator of the Seas last November. The conclusion was that, not only is the trans-fat-free oil healthier for guests, but it provides a better tasting product.
Royal Caribbean is working jointly with all onboard food and beverage partners as well as suppliers to ensure that a full transition to a trans-fat-free menu will take place fleetwide by the end of this year.

Thanks Chuck! I'll be sailing on the Navigator in just 57 days. I'm going to eat even more now knowing about the trans-fat-free menu.

Trans-fat-free menu, that sounds wonderful. Do you know if it will be on all ships, or just some of RCCL's?
We are planning on taking the Serenade/Adventure of the Seas ship in April, I think. Do you think all the menu will be this way, or will it be a separate menu to choose from?

Just wondering.
