Wishing on a star Posted February 25 #1 Share Posted February 25 The packages are supposed to include the juice bar. I have no idea what 'smoothies' are, and where to get them on most ships. It seems that on some ships, the only thing now available is a very limited selection of 'juices', that could be any re-constituted plain 'juice'. If this is true, leave it to Princess to offer a 'package perk' that really does not amount to much. This is not good news. We are looking forward to the SUN, and the Enchanted. Can anyone here confirm what is available in juices and/or smoothies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lady Arwen Posted February 25 #2 Share Posted February 25 (edited) The juice is fresh and can be a blend of different fruits. I prefer a smoothie. You’ve never had a smoothie? I’ve had one every morning for years. A blend of fruits and berries and veggies and ice and fresh mint or honey and many different combinations. I love a green smoothie with honey. Mango is lovely, too. I buy frozen fruit to make my own. It all goes into a high power blender and you get this milkshake like drink that’s delicious. Where I live you can buy one at the fitness centre and they cost about $10.00 each. Very expensive, so Princess is offering a good deal to include them. Of course, if you don’t like this type of thing then it’s no value to you. For many of us, it’s terrific.

Where physically on the ships are they? It will be our first Princess cruise and it will be the Discovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone here confirm what is available in juices and/or smoothies? It's fresh juice, like a juice bar at Whole Foods, Erewhon, Kreation, etc. Think Whole30 inspired. There's no dairy used, so it's healthy, not fattening like a smoothie or milkshake. If you're looking for sweet cream like, it's not for you.

I love vanilla oat milk with a banana and a drizzle of maple syrup, with or without ice. Tastes like a creamy milkshake but very healthy. You should try one, it’s delicious! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotRoot Posted February 25 #12 Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Lady Arwen said: Wake View Bar, deck 16 on Discovery. We were on Discovery last month and the juice bar was in the middle of the buffet. It was a room with coffee and pastries. Very inconvenient for us as we do not eat in the buffet. On the Caribbean Princess it was at one of the pool bars which was more convenient. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on it a number of times since it launched just a few years ago. The juice bar has always been located in the Pastry Shop of the World Fresh Marketplace on all of our cruises.

This is no longer available on the Crown, was just on for 10 days and they switched it for a juice machine that had good, but watered down juices. They were at 3 locations on the ship, ice cream shop, bar by the pool and br by the aft pool. I really wanted the nutter and it was a no go… I didn’t grab a pic of the menu, each serves different ones Edited February 25 by jaycruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premium juice bars all have the same menu, fleetwide. It's unlimited with Plus. Is this an all day thing?

He had all the ingredients. I assumed this was the only place, but I stand corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the premium juice on Crown… they don’t have the other menu, at least on Crown anymore, I asked because I wanted it. It was one plus perk I wanted to use since I won’t do the desserts. They told me that they had changed and now had these juice machines. i only had them in the mornings after working out, with my breakfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted February 26 Author #24 Share Posted February 26 It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I had seen the comments about the 'juices' in machines... and that does not sound good. If they are going to list this as part of the package, and then, it is basically so limited that it is not what one expects... Would Princess actually be doing this on more ships???? That is why I started this thread. Yes, I do know that juices and smoothies are... we do have a Vitamix!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
