YouTube Video Description

Here’s the second and final part of our Marella Discovery American Dream cruise! We launch straight into day 2 in New York and I’ve got loads of tips for you to make the most of your time ashore, we eat onboard at the speciality pan-Asian restaurant ‘Kora La’, enjoy another day at sea, explore Charleston independently on our final port day, eat at the Glass House onboard, I show you the disembarkation and transfer process and finally our red eye flight back to the U.K. with Tui Airlines. If you have any questions please let me know, otherwise, I really hope you enjoy cruising with us during the second half of our week!
