Creator's Key Takeaways

We have to give a massive shout out to the amazing staff that work on board Discovery from the bars to the housekeepers to the people that work in the restaurants.

The next one is the drinks quality, especially on the pool deck. It's all included. You're not paying any extra for the drinks. You can kind of forgive it.

TUI do charge £1 per person for every passenger on board that gets donated to the TUI Care Foundation. Again, you're not normally told about this.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Marella Navigate app in your browser to book excursions and check daily schedules
Mix your own drinks if the pool deck quality isn't to your liking
Visit reception to opt out of the £1 charity charge if you don't want to contribute
Go back for seconds or thirds at dining venues without worry or judgment

Hidden costsOnly specialty dining, excursions, and premium drinks cost extra, but be aware of the £1 charity charge that can be removed
