I tried the juice from Apex and it seems pretty sweet. Doesn't taste like the fresh squeeze orange juice I drink from home We got fresh squeezed OJ every morning & it wasn’t from a carton.

I know it seems overly detailed but around 2018/19, the juice machines began being removed from the ships so memories of fresh squeezed juice may be accurate, current availability on the other-hand is in question...

I don’t know about Blu but it was not available in the Buffet. It should have been available in the bar located in the OV area. At least it has always been there previously. Jim’s post 18 explains the OJ situation, but I know it confuses a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. lol.

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. free daily breakfast @ Tuscan for Elites and above: the OJ has plenty of pulp. i guess it's the $4 premium OJ?

If you didnt see the entire process of squeezing I highly doubt that its a fresh juice. I wouldnt pay that much Yes it is fresh squeezed, but it is packaged, so I'm not certain that it doesn't have any preservatives. It is not reconstituted and not homogenized . It does taste different (and delicious imo). You won't see any machines though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_T Posted September 21, 2021 #42 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We are on Silhouette at the moment so I had a chat with one of the F&B managers. The definitive answer seems to be that the juice machines have all gone, but for Luminae & Blu they have one of the kitchen staff manually producing a batch of fresh squeezed orange juice early in the morning. For all other locations, including the Spa Cafe, the best option is the Premium Orange Juice which is of course prepared ashore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIP TRAVELER Posted September 21, 2021 #43 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Just to add another view. I have heard that the "machine" OJ could have sanitary issues. When you think about what is on the exterior of oranges and the cleaning issues of those machines in a public setting, that sort of made sense to me. On the other hand that may be just bean counter BS. I do know that premium OJ can be had from the bar in the oceanview because we pick it up there when we are on a package along with cafe Latte.

sasset Posted September 21, 2021 #46 Share Posted September 21, 2021 We ordered Eggs Benedict "with fresh tomatoes, avocado, and fresh crab" at a local French restaurant Sunday. Didn't taste quite right. Asked the manager if the crab was indeed "fresh". He said, "Yes. Fresh from a can". To me if it's in a can, it's not fresh. Same with orange juice. If' it's in a carton or has been frozen, it's not "fresh squeezed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that all fish sold at a restaurant is frozen at some point to get rid of the bacteria even “fresh” fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
