Creator's Key Takeaways
Do you take the inclusive package that's included in your fair or should you upgrade to the premium?
I found the best option for us and probably yourselves as well would be to stay all inclusive and just pay as you go for those little treats that you want every now and then.
We were really surprised by that, weren't we? That they were on the inclusive because Bur Morretti and Peroni are a really nice bottled beer.
The inclusive gave us everything that we wanted and I never felt that we missed out on premium.

In our latest Marella “Into the Drink” video, we tackle the big question… 🍹 Do you stick with the Inclusive drinks package, or splash the cash on Premium? This is our fully updated guide (February 2026), following on from our previous July 2024 edition. We go through the latest Into the Drink booklet in detail, showing you exactly what’s included in both packages — and importantly, what isn’t. We also break down the individual drink prices if you decide to stay All Inclusive but fancy the occasional Premium tipple. Could paying as you go work out better… or does the £95 upgrade represent unbeatable value? As always, we share our honest opinion — but the choice really depends on you. Everyone cruises differently. That said, we do think the £95 upgrade offers excellent value for money. Our goal is simple: to give you all the information you need to make the right decision for your cruise.
