fsdorado Posted July 21, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I know this is probably a strange question to ask but my DW is trying a liver cleanse treatment which involves consuming the juice of a whole freshly squeezed lemon daily. Will she be able to get lemons on the ship (Ruby Princess out of San Francisco) or will she need to bring lemons onboard with us? Thanks!!

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted July 21, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Hmmm...not sure they would allow lemons to be brought on board but I admit...I cannot give a definitive answer on that one. However...I'd bet that if you spoke to a DR manager about this (or maybe even just your waiter) that something could be arranged. They might even do the squeezing for you! On a recent cruise (not Princess) we asked about getting a small bowl of pickles for our very young granddaughter. She's CRAZY about pickles! Since we had the same table/wait staff every night...there would be a bowl of pickles waiting for her! (We're talking enough pickles for 10-12 hamburgers...) 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick I am almost certain you will not be allowed to bring lemons onto a ship. I have a friend who has an Orange tree and wanted to bring some on Embarkation in Los Angeles. They were confiscated from him. Ask DR manager or Buffett manager if they can supply the lemon juice or whole lemons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted July 21, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 21, 2023 If you are in a full suite your cabin steward should be able to provide you with lemons and other fruit upon request. Another idea is to ask for squeezed lemon juice at the special full suite breakfast. Once they know you want this it probably will be ready for you each morning.

kywildcatfanone Posted July 21, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2023 You can ask for some and they will bring them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwimum Posted July 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) We have carried limes and lemons on board with no issues when embarking in LA. Have also purchased in various ports. Edited July 21, 2023 by kiwimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsdorado Posted July 21, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Thanks everyone!! My DW is waiting patiently to chat with someone from Princess. I suspect they will give her the same advice that you are giving. We may try to get at least one aboard on the first day. Frederick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Since they have lemon slices and lemon wedges and use lemons in various cooking and baking, yes they have lemons on board. I would ask in the buffet area when you need one. Are you bringing a juicer - or perhaps they will do it for you once explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VibeGuy Posted July 25, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) You can definitely bring fresh citrus on board - I grab white grapefruits in season for better daiquiris. what you can’t do is take it back off the ship Edited July 25, 2023 by VibeGuy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that they made an error by confiscating them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
