Marella Cruises, Drink Packages - Premium Vs All-inclusive! #marellacruises #drink #allinclusive

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a detailed comparison between the premium and all-inclusive drink packages offered by Marella Cruises, based on their experiences across the Discovery 2, Voyager, and Explorer ships. They examine the current pricing structures, noting that pre-booking the premium package offers a discount compared to purchasing it on board. The video breaks down the specific offerings for each tier, including wine selections, beer and cider varieties, cocktails, spirits, and soft drinks. The creators highlight that while the premium package includes branded spirits and a wider array of cocktails, they found the all-inclusive option to be excellent value, especially since many premium cocktails relied on branded alcohol that did not significantly alter the taste. They also discuss the quality of specialty coffees at the Coffee Port and address potential drawbacks, such as inconsistent cocktail standards on certain ships, the lack of refrigerators in some cabins for delivered water, and specific bar restrictions. Ultimately, they conclude that the choice between packages depends on individual brand preferences and drinking habits, though they personally favor the all-inclusive option.

Creator's Key Takeaways
we've been um premium on the Discovery 2 we decided to go all inclusive on the Vo and we loved it so much on Voyager we decided to go allinclusive on the um explorers
I think it's you know to Nob brainer that 80 quid if you pre-book and 90 if you book on the ship is still brilliant value for money
I was buying their mock not buying I was getting their mocktails and asking for a shot of vodka or a shot of rum whatever and I was just applying whatever I wanted into a mocktail and it was Bloody gorgeous
we were really disappointed on two of the three uh Mella ships we've been on Discovery 2 and Voyager we were quite disappointed with the standard of cocktail
