jameslee Posted September 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Is the fresh squeezed orange juice that Celebrity charges $4 really freshly squeezed or is it like the orange juice we buy from the market. I tried the juice from Apex and it seems pretty sweet. Doesn't taste like the fresh squeeze orange juice I drink from home 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger88 Posted September 16, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Usually, if they say that its squeezed and it costs 4$, they squeeze right in front of you. If you didnt see the entire process of squezzeeing I highly doubt that its a fresh juice. I wouldnt pay that much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At RCL they also sell freshly squeezed juices both at the MDR and at the equivelant of Ocean View, hence quite annoying why this is not the case at X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted September 16, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I have been told that what Celebrity calls fresh squeezed is actually frozen but not from concentrate. That is, The freshly squeezed orange juice is/frozen and does not need to be reconstituted. I remember seeing the machine which squeezed fresh oranges at one time, and have been told that they were all removed. Maybe they are back, I don’t know, but I doubt that you are finding real fresh squeezed orange juice anywhere on the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted September 16, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Used to be freshly squeezed, but a few years back they got rid of the squeeze machines and replaced them with "premium" cartons. Not fresh any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 16, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I'm currently on Equinox and asked the Hotel Director this question. The standard OJ is packaged and pasteurized. You then have the Premium OJ (never referred to as Fresh Squeezed but sometimes Fresh) is Fresh Squeezed with Pulp at the Factory and then package in Milk Style Cartons. This is what is sold for a premium or on your package. Aqua Spa Cafe actually does squeeze OJ and other Vegetables but I believe use a Ninja Style juicer so not sure if it is actually squeezed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted September 16, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Guess you could pack a mini manual juice squeezer...if it is that important. Sounds like the upcharge is not worth it for the juice. My diabetes dr has advised me to reduce juices so 1/2 a fresh orange is what I am used to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_T Posted September 16, 2021 #21 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The machines were gone from Millennium after she went through the 'Revolution' in 2019.

Mark_T Posted September 16, 2021 #23 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Best place to start looking is the Spa Cafe I think, if there is still fresh juice being produced onboard that is a prime candidate given their focus on juices and smoothies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzzzinma Posted September 16, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Premium OJ in Luminae last week on the Millennium. I don’t know about Blu but it was not available in the Buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
