Marella Cruises The Glass House Menus
The Glass House is one of the more casual dining venues aboard Marella Discovery and Marella Discovery 2, offering different food throughout the day rather than sticking to a single restaurant concept.
During the daytime, the focus is on lighter and more casual options, while the venue changes character later in the day. The menus featured here cover breakfast, lunch and late-night snacks, along with part of The Glass House drinks selection.
The menus also give a useful look at the vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices available at the venue.
If you are sailing on Marella Discovery or Marella Discovery 2 and want to know what you can eat at The Glass House, here is a look at the menus.
Which Marella Ships Have The Glass House?
The Glass House can be found aboard:
- Marella Discovery
- Marella Discovery 2
On both ships, The Glass House is located on Deck 9 near the indoor pool.
The venue is designed as an all-day space rather than a traditional restaurant that opens only for dinner. During the day, it serves casual food, while the evening offering changes to a more restaurant-style experience.
Exact menus, opening hours, availability and additional charges can change, so passengers should check the onboard information during their cruise.

Drinks at The Glass House
The Glass House also serves a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

The dagger symbol beside the canned water prices indicates that those items are not included in the Premium All Inclusive package, while an asterisk identifies supplements for guests who are not on the Premium All Inclusive drinks package.
Because cruise drink prices and package inclusions can change, these figures should be treated as the prices displayed on this particular onboard menu rather than guaranteed prices for every sailing.

Is The Glass House Included on Marella Cruises?
The Glass House has both included and potentially chargeable elements, so it is important not to assume that everything associated with the venue is automatically included.
The daytime food represented in these menus forms part of the casual dining offering. Marella has also offered additional-charge choices at The Glass House, particularly as part of its evening dining options.
Drinks are a separate consideration because inclusion depends on the beverage and the drinks package.
The menus use symbols to distinguish drinks that require a supplement for passengers without Premium All Inclusive from drinks that are not included even with the Premium All Inclusive package.
Passengers should therefore check the current onboard menu and their specific drinks package rather than relying on an older menu for current pricing.
Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free Choices
One particularly useful feature of The Glass House menus is the dietary labelling.
Across the food menus, symbols are used for:
- Vegetarian
- Gluten-free
- Gluten-free option available
- Vegan
- Vegan option available
There are several clearly identified choices, ranging from plant-based sausage at breakfast to salads, pasta options and a veggie burger later in the day.
The menus also carry an allergen warning explaining that food and drinks are prepared in environments where ingredients containing allergens and gluten are used. Passengers with allergies or intolerances should speak with the onboard team about suitable options.
The Glass House on Marella Discovery and Discovery 2
The Glass House is more than a single meal restaurant. Its location beside the indoor pool and its changing menus allow the space to function differently throughout the day.
Breakfast is straightforward and casual, lunch adds rotisserie chicken, pasta, pizza, panini and salads, and the late-night selection provides another option when passengers want food later in the evening.
The venue’s evening operation can differ from its daytime offering, so passengers looking specifically for dinner at The Glass House should check the current onboard schedule and menu.
