Fresh Squeezed Juices - Refreshment Drink Package

Hi there,

this is my first time cruising with Royal Caribbean, we'll be on Harmony of the Seas.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Refreshment drink package. Does anyone know what kinds of "fresh juices" are included? I don't care for OJ, tomato or cranberry juice, but if the fresh juices include something like passionfruit or mango juices then I would be tempted to get that package. If I am reading things correctly, that package also includes lattes and other espresso drinks, correct? I don't drink soda or milk (and rarely alcohol), so really I'd only be drinking the juices (depending), and the espresso drinks.

If the only available juices are going to be ones that I don't drink, then I'll probably just get the cafe card that's good for 15 espresso drinks.

Thanks in advance!

Fresh squeezed orange juice is all we have ever seen.

Correct (can you even squeeze a mango?) - looks like the coffee card would be best.

Thanks All! I was kind of thinking that might end up being the case. My husband just commented that if I drink ~5 drinks in a day ( a couple of lattes and maybe a mimosa or two), that the Deluxe all inclusive drink package might be worth it since it's currently buy one-get one 50% off (It would end up being ~$700 for both of us to get the delux package).

I don't know why I'm having such a hard time deciding on the darn drink package, haha.

And for what it's worth, where I'm from we do have fresh mango juice...you don't squeeze it per se, but you just toss the fresh mango in a blender. ;) Where I used to live in Brazil there was a juice bar around the corner and I'd get fresh mango, cashew or passionfruit juice every morning.

Wouldn't that be a smoothie?

No..: it is different. I live in Panama and we have fresh made juices of pretty much all fruits you can imagine. And besides that, we have smoothies... it’s totally different.

:confused: Maybe it's a translation thing? To me a smoothie is like fruits and veggies blended up with milk or something (called batida in Brazil), whereas juice (suco) would be just the fruit (orange, mango, whatever fruit your heart desires) blended up or squeezed and then poured through a sieve to strain out most of the pulp. That's how they do it back home anyway. When I go to local Brazilian places around me, that seems to be how they do it as well, but perhaps it's just different than what others think of when they think juice.

OJ is the only thing they "squeeze" freshly. All other juices are canned, bottled or somehow, pre-made. Take apple juice...I've never seen anyone squeeze an apple!!! Pretty sure even the grapefruit juice is not "fresh squeezed" even tho it's possible to do so!

You've never heard of cider?

Well, if you haven't ever squeezed a basket of apples in an apple press, you don't know a true pleasure of fall in Kentucky.......best apple cider.

You can, but it is VERY sour. Pretty much all the grapefruit juice you have been served has LOTS of sugar added.

Pressing apples is not exactly the same as squeezing them. :D

Close, but you CAN squeeze an orange with your hands. Try that with an apple.

The Refreshment package includes "virgin" drinks, so you may be able to get some blended fresh fruit at the bar.

When we cruised on the Allure the refreshment package included freshly prepared smoothies and juice mixes at the Vitality Cafe. There was an additional charge to add a protein supplement,

Oh this sounds awesome! Hopefully Harmony will have something similar. :)

They do however there are not that many choices. They have maybe 6-8 choices but any that are used by the bars (mango for one) is not fresh squeezed/puréed but is a pre mix out of a carton. There may only be 3-4 that actually use fresh fruit.

This sounds absolutely wonderful.
