All Things Cruise Delves Into "All-Inclusive" Cruising, What Is Included and What Is Not?

Cruise Ships Become More and More All-Inclusive, Guests Love It

DETROIT (Feb 16, 2022) -The editors at AllThingsCruise thought it was important to know what is included on a cruise these days. They contacted each and every cruise line with a list of 13 cruise amenities and asked them to detail those that are included on their ships.

Thirty-three cruise lines, including small luxury lines like Silversea, Seabourn and Regent, and river lines like Uniworld, Viking and Scenic, are included. And the large companies are there as well - Carnival, MSC, Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL and more.

Studying the chart reveals a trend to including more amenities on all ships. For example, the only amenity included on Carnival ships is 24-hour room service and the only amenity on NCL ships are butlers (and only in very few suites.)

"I frequently sail on smaller ships that include some, but not all, amenities and I am often confused by what I will be paying for and what not," explains Cynthia Boal Janssens, editor of AllThingsCruise. "So it was obvious that this kind of reference was needed, both for consumers and for travel agents."

The chart is also annotated with special information about specific lines. For example, Cunard - "Stocked in-cabin mini-bar and butler service for Queens Grill guests only. Liquor and wine from mini-bar will be replenished with a charge to guest's accounts at their request. All standard items replenished daily. QG butler service includes in-room party coordination." Disney - "Specialty drinks limited to complimentary soft drinks in dining rooms and 24/7 drink station. Specialty coffees available to concierge guests on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. Butler service is included for Concierge guests on all ships."
