Fresh Squeezed OJ

Does anyone know where you can purchase fresh squeezed orange juice onboard the Discovery? And about how much?

Didn't see it.  They do have a juice bar on deck 16.

I have not been on Discovery but I have been able to order fresh squeezed orange juice in a variety of places using my Plus drink package on other ships. I have ordered it in the dining room, the buffet and at a bar near one of the pools.

 

Sorry - don't know price.

The updated Princess Plus 60 lists a juice bar as an option as well as the new "desserts" and 2 fitness classes.

Though the old Plus included Fresh Squeezed OJ.

The soda package also includes fresh squeezed oj which I am planning on ordering in the MDR at breakfast.

I have no idea if what we've received in the past for room service breakfast was supposed to be "fresh squeezed" or not...(I highly doubt it).  On multiple cruises this has been CRAZY sweet juice...such that I just could not drink it all.  I drink OJ every morning...this stuff is like they dumped a barrel of sugar into the vat while mixing!

The juice machines at the buffet tend to mix too much concentrate and too little water, at least for my tastes.  I usually cut that OJ with ice and extra water. 

 

I'd be shocked if room service served fresh squeezed (at least without someone specifically ordering it) vs. same OJ from concentrate as at the buffet.

Their regular OJ almost tasted like SunnyD. I can't drink their regular OJ. I go for apple instead if I can't get fresh squeezed OJ.

I have seen a orange juice machine near a pool bar the bar that squeezes the oranges.

I've never seen what Princess fills the juice dispensers with, but if they use the same concentrate as Carnival all the juices are juice "cocktails" (sugar, water, flavoring, and little to no real juice, plus pulp for the "OJ").  That would explain the Sunny D taste.

 

That includes the apple juice on Carnival which is also juice cocktail, so could be the same on Princess.

What ship had OJ machines?

I have yet to see them.

  Yes, at the Calypso pool bar.
