Marella Cruises (formally known as Thomson) are already leading the market by offering an All Inclusive drinks package on all of their Summer 2019 sailings. This includes selected beers, wines, ciders, cocktails and soft drinks, however in line with other cruise companies they have now announced an upgraded Premium All Inclusive Package.
The Premium package is available from 10 am to 2 am daily and includes;
- Upgraded cocktails including Mojito’s and Champagne based cocktails.
- Premium speciality coffees including Lavazza Coffee
- Premium spirits including Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels and Absolut Vodka
- Cans of soft drinks
- 1.5 litre bottled water per day
The cost of this premium package is just £7.14 per person per day, which is pretty good value when you think that just 1 champagne cocktail normally costs this amount.
You do have to smile at Marella’s marketing campaign though, they are advertising the prebook price of £7.14 per person per night, or if you book on board it is £50 per week – I make this to be a saving of 2 pence.
