Default Fruit smoothie for breakfast?

We are travelling on the Carnival Freedom , and I am wondering if there are any blenders available to use to make a fruit smoothie for breakfast? If so, are they self-serve, or does an employee prepare it for you?
Thanks !

They do not have any self service blendors or anything..the only thing you could do in my mind would be virgin drinks at the bar..I know thats not what you might consider a healthy fruit smoothie but to my memory that would be about the closest thing. Hope others will chime in with another way, I could be so wrong.

You may want to bring a "Magic Bullet" for your cabin if you like breakfast smoothies. You can order all that you'll need for it from room service. Just don't forget to tip.

Not sure about Freedom, but the Legend had a smoothie station in the mid ship, Lido deck at one of the bars. I think they were about $4 or $5, I never tried one, but noticed it there.

Thanks for the input.
We just donated our magic bullet to charity a couple months ago because we never used it.. darn !!
We're not looking to pay extra for blending fruit together, so I guess we'll just eat the fruit whole !
If anyone else knows of a suggestion, I'd be all ears !

I cant imagine the mess of doing my own blended fruit smoothies in the cabin. Banana peels in the trash smell.

It sound like you are used to having smoothies for your breakfast..
you are on a cruise, try something different

Bacon, eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, or
try the omelett station..which btw also will fry up
eggs cooked to order

I have never been able to find biscuits and gravy. Do they only serve it in the DR?

I thought there was a station on the Lido deck where you could get a smoothie. No free but available.

Could've swore I saw it on the Legend last February.

Yes, we usually have smoothies for breakfast, but it is because of allergies that our choices are limited. (couldnt have pancakes,bacon,biscuits,gravy,dairy etc etc)
Thank you for your input tho !
