Marella Cruises Drinks Prices and Packages (2022)
All the ships in the Marella fleet operate on an all inclusive basis as standard. In the post we detail what drinks fall into this category and what doesn’t.
There is also a premium all inclusive drinks package that comes at an additional cost. We cruised on the Marella Discovery 2 cruise ship in May 2022 and the price at this time was £20 per person per day.We also have drinks prices and packages posts for ,Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages and Cunard which may be of interest to you too.
In this post we cover all the drinks in the standard package and you can check to see if your favourite tipple is included and if it isn’t how much extra it will cost you.
Some cruise lines like P&O and Cunard allow you to take a small amount of alcohol on board but with Marella this is a big no no and they even reserve the right to search your hand luggage when boarding so do bare this in mind.

FAQs
What drinks are included on a Marella cruise? ›
Did you know that every Marella Cruise ship is All Inclusive as standard? That means that you can focus on the important things, like enjoying yourself. A selection of hot drinks, soft drinks, cocktails, mocktails, beers, and wines are included in our standard All Inclusive packages.
What drinks are included in All Inclusive TUI? ›Feeling thirsty? The All Inclusive package covers drinks between 10am and 2am daily. You can expect selected soft drinks, a range of cocktails, selected draught beer and ciders, certain spirits and aperitifs, as well as glasses of prosecco and house wine.
What's included in All Inclusive on the Marella Explorer? ›Pretty much everything you can think of that you'd normally have to pay extra for on top of a regular cruise fare is included with Marella. Flights, transfers, tips, food, drink and entertainment are all included with Marella Cruises' all-inclusive vacations.
What currency is used on Marella cruises? ›What currency is used on Marella Cruises? British Sterling is the currency used on Marella Cruises but do note all the ships operate a cash-free system. Everything you buy onboard will be charged to your cabin account and you can settle it all by credit or debit card at the end of your cruise.
Can you pay cash for drinks on a cruise ship? ›How Do Credit Card Purchases Work on Board a Cruise Ship? Cruise ships now are entirely cashless. This means that while they are eager to get you to book a massage at the spa, or purchase a fancy bottle of wine with dinner, they never accept cash for any of these purchases.
How many drinks can you have a day on a cruise? ›While you may drink unlimited non-alcoholic drinks on the CHEERS package, your consumption of alcoholic drinks is capped at 15 per day. For many people, there's no way they'll ever drink 15 drinks in one day. But there's also many people who can drink 15 in one day and still go for more.
What is the 6 drinks rule? ›There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner ( 3 each).
Where is 6 drink limit all-inclusive? ›Where does the six drink rule apply in Spain? Six alcoholic drinks are only allowed if you're on an all inclusive holiday. This means you can have up to three at lunch, and three at dinner.
What is an all-inclusive drinks package? ›Pay just one price to enjoy a wide variety of drink choices such as premium coffees, bottled water, wines-by-the-glass, beers, or your favorite cocktails. Your package can be used in the Main Restaurant, specialty restaurants, casual dining restaurants, and all bars and lounges.
Do you tip on a Marella cruise? ›Usually, it's common to tip staff (such as waiters and room attendants) during a cruise. With Marella Cruises, this is still the case, but you pay before you go – it's all included in the price. The same goes for service charges.
Are gratuities included on Marella Cruises? ›
On all Marella Cruises, everything from meals and snacks to flights, transfers and tips is all included as standard in the price of your holiday.
What is the dress code on Marella Explorer? ›There is no special dress code for dining with Marella, so there was no need for formal jackets or tuxedos, the cruise had a smart casual dress code in their main dining room and speciality restaurants.
Do you have to exchange money on a cruise? ›One of the most convenient things about cruising is that you don't have to worry about using cash on board. On a cruise ship, you're in a cashless society the moment you embark. That's when you're issued a shipboard spending card, which doubles as your cabin key and ID card on most ships.
Do you need pesos on a cruise? ›Most ports of call we visit on domestic cruises accept U.S dollars. In addition, while in port, guests may visit local banks to obtain currency exchange or use local Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) to withdraw money.
What currency should I take on a cruise? ›Euros are the preferred currency in most ports of call. Cruise & Maritime Voyages– Onboard transactions are charged to your cruise account and the balance is settled at the end of the holiday. Most major credit cards are also accepted as well as Visa debit cards.
How much money should I bring on a 7 day cruise? ›As a general rule, plan to have $50 to $100 each day in the local currency. Also, you may want to bring an extra $20 a day for tipping crew members. Make sure to include smaller bills for tips. Fifty to a hundred dollars a day should be enough to cover small purchases, tips and snacks at each port.
Should I take cash or card on cruise? ›We highly recommend paying for anything OFF of the ship in cash. Ports in tourist areas are typically safe from violent crime, but petty crime like theft — or credit card fraud — can happen. So if you plan to pay for meals and entertainment with a card, there is always the risk of being overcharged, charged twice, etc.
How can I avoid cell phone charges on a cruise? ›To ensure you are not charged by your phone company on your cruise, you have two choices: Turn off your phone as soon as your cruise ship leaves port, or, if you want to use offline applications, put your phone into airplane mode.
Can you take drinks to your room on a cruise? ›While we have many drink offerings onboard, you are welcomed to bring select beverages onboard. On boarding day, each stateroom may bring up to two 750 ml bottles of wine or champagne, as long as one guest is of legal drinking age. Corkscrews will be provided for guests to enjoy their drinks in their stateroom.
Can you get unlimited drinks on a cruise? ›Yes, you can buy a beverage package. These all-you-can-drink packages allow passengers to pay a set fee up front for unlimited drinks (of a certain type, as outlined by the package's fine print), rather than pay per drink once onboard the cruise ship.
How many suitcases can you take on a cruise? ›
The best news about packing is that there is no (reasonable) limit on how much you can bring on a cruise. Most cruise lines “encourage” each passenger to limit luggage to two suitcases, each one less than 50 pounds. In addition, you can also bring carry-on luggage (more on that in a moment).
What does drinking a 5th mean? ›A fifth of whiskey actually means a fifth of a gallon (750ml bottle/25.4 fluid ounces). Until 1980, a fifth meant a whole bottle of liquor as that was the standard size. Now a bottle can hold more or less than 750 mL. However, if someone says they drank a fifth of whiskey, it means they drank quite a lot.
How many drinks before over the limit? ›It's worrying that 1 in 20 (5%) think it's safe to drink 4 alcoholic drinks and drive. But as a general rule, 2 pints of regular-strength lager or 2 small glasses of wine could put you over the limit. This equates to roughly 4.5 units of alcohol. For more information, check out our alcohol unit calculator.

Is it worth doing all-inclusive? ›Yes, all-inclusives are worth it for travelers who just want to relax on their honeymoon or vacation. When you stay at an all-inclusive resort, all meals and beverages are usually already paid for, as are many onsite activities.
Do you pay for drinks at an all-inclusive? ›An all-inclusive vacation is a vacation that includes all the essentials in the booking price. Besides accommodation, you can expect food, drinks, activities, and entertainment to be included, without having to pay extra for it.
Is all-inclusive now only 6 drinks? ›“There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner (three each).”
How many drinks make a day drink package worth it? ›For a drink package running $60 per day, you'd have to drink about 8-10 beers each and every day -- including on days when you are in port -- to get your money's worth. If you like more expensive drinks like cocktails, the math works a little more in your favor.
What is a standard beverage package? ›The advantage of a beverage package:
Packages usually consist of beer, wine, champagne, juice and soft drinks. The quality of the wines and beer will vary depending on the type of package you choose. The deluxe or premium packages will sometimes offer basic spirits as well.
