Marella Cruise drinks package. Should you go premium?

Editorial Summary

The creators compare the inclusive and premium drinks packages on Marella cruises, specifically based on their experience aboard the Marella Discovery 2. They begin by advising travelers to purchase the premium package before their cruise to save ten pounds per person per week. The review covers several categories including wine, beer, cocktails, spirits, and hot drinks. While the premium package offers a wider selection of cocktails and branded spirits, the creators express disappointment regarding cocktail consistency and the high alcohol content in some drinks. They note that the standard package already includes a good range of popular spirit brands. The discussion also addresses practical issues, such as the difficulty of using the digital menu app and the lack of temperature control for bottled water delivered to rooms. Ultimately, the creators conclude that while the premium package is beneficial for those who prefer specific branded spirits, the standard package provides a massive amount of variety that meets most needs. They suggest that travelers should calculate their expected daily consumption to determine if the upgrade is financially worthwhile.
