Marella Cruises Live Room Drinks Menu and Prices
The Live Room is one of the main entertainment bars aboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2, combining a large drinks selection with nightly live music and a lively atmosphere that builds throughout the evening. Marella Cruises describes it as the ships’ flagship watering hole and highlights its particularly large selection of beers on tap.
The photographed Live Room menu includes cocktails, mocktails, draught and bottled beers, ciders, and a separate selection of Mason Jar beer cocktails. Marella Cruises is All Inclusive as standard, so many of these drinks are included in the standard cruise fare, while certain premium choices carry an additional supplement unless the guest has upgraded to Premium All Inclusive.
For more onboard drink information, see our Marella Cruises dining menus, Marella Cruises bar menus, and other Marella dining onboard guides.
What Is the Live Room on Marella Cruises?
The Live Room is a bar and entertainment venue found aboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2.
Marella Cruises describes the venue as its flagship bar, featuring nightly live music and one of the biggest selections of on-tap beer aboard the ship.

Are Live Room Drinks Included on Marella Cruises?
Many of them are.
Unlike cruise lines where passengers generally purchase drinks individually or buy a separate beverage package, Marella Cruises includes a drinks package with every cruise as standard.
Marella’s standard All Inclusive package currently includes selected draught beer and cider, bottled drinks, wine by the glass, standard spirits and aperitifs, cocktails, mocktails, fruit juices and selected soft drinks.
That aligns closely with this photographed Live Room menu.
Guests can also upgrade to Premium All Inclusive, which expands the selection to include premium spirits, upgraded cocktails, canned soft drinks, premium coffees and a wider range of beers, ciders and wines.
What Do the Supplements on the Live Room Menu Mean?
A price accompanied by an asterisk represents a supplement for guests who are not on the Premium All Inclusive drinks package.
For example, the photographed bottled beer menu shows a £4.95 supplement beside Peroni, Sol, Heineken, BrewDog IPA, Lagunitas IPA, Inch’s Apple Cider and Old Mout Cider.
The draught menu similarly lists Heineken and Birra Moretti at £4.50 for a pint or £3.00 for a half.
The menu specifically states:
“Supplement for guests not on the Premium All Inclusive drinks package.”
All prices on this version of the menu are quoted in Sterling/GBP.
This is an important distinction: these aren’t necessarily the full retail prices of the drinks. They are the additional amount charged when ordering a drink outside the guest’s included package.
Marella All Inclusive vs Premium All Inclusive
The standard Marella All Inclusive package already covers a substantial drinks selection.
Premium All Inclusive expands that selection rather than starting from scratch.
Marella currently lists examples of Premium All Inclusive benefits including premium spirits such as Bombay Sapphire, Hendrick’s gin, Grey Goose vodka, Malibu rum, Jack Daniel’s and Johnnie Walker Black, along with upgraded cocktails and a broader range of beers, wines and ciders.
Exact brands can change according to availability, so the photographed menu is the better reference for what was being served when these images were taken.
Which Marella Ships Have the Live Room?
The Live Room is found aboard:
Marella Discovery
Marella Discovery 2
On both ships, it is located on Deck 4.
Marella describes it as a spacious, modern flagship bar featuring nightly live music and a particularly large selection of beer on tap.
Marella Live Room Menu Date
The draught beer page carries the notation:
LIVE · v1.0 · 24 Aug 2023
That means these photographs should be treated as a snapshot of the Live Room drinks selection and supplements associated with that menu version rather than a guarantee of current onboard pricing.
This is especially important for the £3.00, £4.50 and £4.95 supplements shown in the photographs. Marella can change drinks, brands, package inclusions and supplements over time.
Marella Live Room FAQ
Is the Live Room free to enter?
The Live Room is one of the ship’s entertainment and bar venues. The photographed menu concerns drinks rather than an admission charge.
Are cocktails included at the Live Room?
Many cocktails are included through Marella’s standard All Inclusive offering. Marella currently specifically identifies Mai Tais and Long Island Iced Teas as examples of included cocktails.
Are mocktails included?
Marella’s standard All Inclusive package includes selected mocktails and fruit juices. The photographed Live Room menu has eight dedicated mocktails.
Is beer included?
Selected draught and bottled beers and ciders are included with Marella’s standard All Inclusive package. Premium choices can carry a supplement unless covered by Premium All Inclusive.

Final Thoughts on the Marella Cruises Live Room Drinks Menu
The Live Room has one of the broader bar menus aboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2, particularly for guests who enjoy beer.
Alongside standard and premium draught beer, there is a sizeable bottled beer and cider selection, familiar cocktails such as the Long Island Iced Tea, Cosmopolitan and Mai Tai, eight alcohol-free mocktails and a more unusual collection of Mason Jar and beer-based cocktails.
The most important thing to understand when reading the menu is the way Marella’s All Inclusive system works. Many drinks are already included in the cruise fare. Prices marked with an asterisk on these photographs are supplements for guests who don’t have Premium All Inclusive, rather than evidence that every drink at the Live Room is charged separately.
The photographed menu dates to August 24, 2023, so the selections and supplements should be considered a historical menu snapshot. Current drinks and prices may vary by sailing, and guests should check the onboard Live Room menu for the latest selection.
