Marella Cruises All Inclusive Drinks List

What is an ‘all-inclusive’ cruise fare?

The whole Marella fleet became “all inclusive” in May 2019. The ‘all inclusive’ cruise fare doesn’t include excursions or speciality restaurants but does include drinks and gratuities. 

In September 2018 I took my first Marella cruise. I knew that the line offered ‘all inclusive’ cruises but I honestly had no idea what this meant. Every day of the cruise I was surprised when I realised that another thing I’d pay extra for on another cruise line was included in Marella’s cruise fare. To learn more about what is included, (and the things that surprised me), click here. 

Different Bar Menus 

Each bar will have a different menu with different speciality drinks available on it. For example bar eleven has an extensive list of cocktails and the atrium serves frozen cocktails. All bars, however, seem to serve drinks from the standard Marella drinks menu.

Top 7 Reasons to Take a Cruise With Marella Cruises

How does ‘all-inclusive’ work?

I was really surprised at the variety of alcoholic drinks available in the all-inclusive package. It was a little strange at first to see crew members handing out beers/prosecco as you walk past but I soon got used to it. Below is a picture of the stalls that they have set up by the bar and at the entrance to places like the theatre and snack shack. When being given your drink you will be asked for your room number but won’t be charged for these. I suppose they just want to keep an eye on how much everybody is drinking!

Can You Bring Alcohol on a Marella Cruise?

Marella will confiscate all alcohol brought on-board by passengers, with the exception of alcohol purchased on the outbound flight to the ship – proof of purchase will be required. – source.

Drinking Age With Marella: 18

You are able to bring some alcohol onboard on most other cruise lines. To learn more, check out this post about the alcohol policies on major cruise lines: Can You Bring Alcohol on a Cruise? Cruise Ship Guide. 

Other menus

Apart from the main menu listed above the other bars also have their own menus. The drinks marked with a * have an extra charge.

Is it worth upgrading to the Premium drinks on Marella Cruises?

I would say that it is worth upgrading if you like to drink a lot of tea/coffee or are really into your cocktails. I don’t think that it would be worth it for me to upgrade. It only costs £50 to upgrade so if you are considering it I would say do it. A premium drinks package on Royal Caribbean is nearly £50 A DAY.

It really does depend on what you like to drink. Upgrading does get you more alcohol but also gets you soda in cans and tea/coffee in the coffee port. For me, I used the cans and tea/coffee a LOT more than the extra alcohol.

Braving the Shave for Macmillan Cancer Support

This is a bit of strange thing to write but… I shaved my head onboard the Marella Discovery. Crazy! The passengers of the Marella Discovery raised an amazing £1500. We have raised £5000 in total! Thanks so much to Marella who organised this and thank you to the passengers of the Marella Discovery who were a fabulous audience!
