The grand conclusion to my Marella Discovery American Dream series is here! Hope you enjoy ❤

This is a truly awesome video, what a fabulous itinerary. Will add to my bucket list. Charleston looked so beautiful and so near the ship. Never been to New York either so two days there is a real treat. Thanks for sharing your travels 👏

Closest port to here is Houston/ Galveston area. Not near as beautiful as you have shown me in places I’ll never see. I so appreciate you showing me other places. Beautiful, you two and the travels!

Fab as always! I got very emotional seeing the 9/11 memorial, had only seen photos before not video, you were very sensitive talking about it. Loved seeing Charleston, all that southern charm looked wonderful. I'll counter your Buffy pop culture reference with Sam and Dean, who i would call for some ghost busting 😁

Great series on Marella Discovery, Thank you once more. I have been on her twice, but not since her referb. She is looking very smart. I much prefer her and her sister ship to Explorer 2. We had the musical afternoon tea the other week on E2. Fantastic value for money. It felt very special with the acting and singing. And the tea was excellent. I had the pasta wheel on E2 the other week, so they still do it. I could see it, but they don't bring it to the table. My pasta was cold, so they didn't charge me. I think the Italian onboard Marella has gone right down. It used to be fabulous. Thanks, Jamie. I noticed you only said it once during both vlogs Very much appreciated. You know what I mean.😊 Deb.x

Me and my partner really enjoyed watching both parts! would you say you preferred this company to P&O? would love to see you make some comparisons!

@TravelBlogJamie

11 ай бұрын

It’s really hard to compare overall as they are so very different. Both companies do certain things better imo. The experience of Marella on this occasion was superior, but the travel there and back was very challenging at times. I’m of the opinion everyone should try as many cruise lines as possible and not stick to one.

It really depends on the ship, the itinerary, what you look for in a cruise! They are both completely different products so very difficult to compare!

It depends when you sail and of course flights / drinks included too but it’s has definitely increased in price quite a lot
