28:23 As a seasoned cruiser I know what you mean. Embarkation day is always stressful at times and I always have a moment of "Why am I doing this", but as soon as day 1 is over everything is great.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your family with us through your Vlogs. I have to say that I am in the US, but most of the Disney Vlogs that I prefer are people from the UK!! I follow CheersEars, Adam Hatton, Disney in Detail, and a couple of others! You all are simply delightful to watch together. The genuine excitement when you show us the areas and the family dynamic are just brilliant. And POP Century is definitely one of our favorite places to stay!! However, we have 2 teenage daughters so trying to share 1 room with a 1 sink bathroom is difficult...and we just can't afford the 2 rooms.
Aww thanks so much thats really appreciated. I totally understand. It is pretty expensive to have the 2 rooms but both Luke and Daisy are in full time employment so they do help out a little
My husband was a bit like you on our first cruise but we have been on 12 since then. The sailaway is always the busiest time as everyone there. We have only been on one from canarval and we were so lucky to see a rocket go up as we sailed away.
Your take on embarkation day was interesting. I've had the opposite reaction to it. It is a lot but, in a good way. I found that it firmly separated me from normal life and normal responsibilities. As a result, I found it relaxing.
I have loved Keith banging on about Pop Century for the last few vlogs. We are staying on property for the first time at Pop with our 6 and 8 year old in August and you’ve just confirmed we’ve picked the right resort! ❤
Bon Voyage lovely Cheers Ears. Hope all goes well. Tall Luke in that top bunk will be an adventure in Itself. 😂 and Luke btw - Blob Luke, Shirtless Luke, Late Luke, Sleepy Luke and Campion Luke - were fans of all! Best always lovely Cheers Ears. ❤️🌈
Keith I really appreciate your honesty in this blog. I think lots of us are curious about Disney Cruise Liner but aren’t sure whether we’d love it enough to spend out so it’s nice to hear your experience. Looking forward to seeing what your view is at the end of it. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas. We love your channel so much x
Thanks so much. I will always be honest and the first day was alot to deal with for me. It really is impressive and I did really like it too. Hope you had a great Christmas and happy new year
Great embarkation day!Catching up on the vlogs as just got off a cruise ourselves! First cruise can definitely feel overwhelming at first and in my opinion the Wish is the most overwhelming, overstimulating Disney ship right now.Beautiful but we found it over the top in many ways, most of the dinners were really loud too.While some entertainment with dinner is nice,we could not even speak at the table.I believe your experience would be much more relaxed if you went on one of the other ships.Wonder or Fantasy. Loved the Wish but much prefer the classic Disney cruise experience on the older ships.
@@CheersEars Magic & Wonder are smaller but honestly the Dream & Fantasy while similar in size to the Wish are very similar to the first two.Any of the first 4 ships have that classic, more nautical cruise feel to them. Also,we found rooms on the Wish have way less storage in comparison. I’m not sure if you already know as well but you can choose a family size verandah (or oceanview) with a pull down Murphy bed in addition to the sleeper sofa. Getting 2 rooms with older kids is great too but the Disney cruises are not cheap aren’t they :)
I was so excited to find Embarkation Day was here!! I empathized with your family on both the highs and lows of this new experience, but I do hope you ended up loving this new 'Disney product' as Keith said! Your family bond, your support of each other and your history of allowing each member to find their own and yet always together way to enjoy these trips through the years likely served you well on the cruise! Happy Holidays to y'all and I can't wait for the next vlog!
Thanks for your honest reactions to being on a cruise ship. I have always dreamt that one day I will be able to do a Disney cruise and know I will probably feel overwhelmed too! I don’t think the amount of vlogs I watch will prepare me lol
What a great vlog so far! I’ve not done a cruise before but can only imagine it can be quite overwhelmed to start with - thank you for being 100% honest about everything.
Love to see how it turns from not knowing what to think about cruising to liking it. And yes it’s still Disney, so you’re still in that bubble. I’m looking forward to see how it all goes. We love cruise with Disney. But we did it just the other way. Started with a 14 night trans Atlantic in 2011 and did Disneyworld after that cruise for the first time. That was also a wonderful experience. We were annual pass holders from Disneyland Paris, so not new to Disney, but cruise an WDW were so much better. And we also love Pop century.
Woohoo! Been waiting for this video. We are doing our first DCL cruise in January on the Dream (Marvel Day at Sea). We’ve done lots of Royal cruises but never DCL.
I loved the Disney wish. We headed straight to Arendelle as soon as we boarded. A lot of people don’t realise they can go to the other restaurants for lunch. We didn’t get the overwhelming feeling, just took our time to explore. We were on the cruise October 22. So it’s lovely to see your vlog. Bringing back previous memories. Loved castaway. We did the 5k run there. 🥰
Totally relate to first day cruise crazy…just experienced that on the Fantasy……it takes a couple days to find a rhythm. Definitely a different vibe from familiar park rhythms.
I wouldn’t cruise as I suffer from motion sickness, it’s fun and interesting to see your reviews and reactions! I will miss Keith banging on about Pop Century for the rest of the series 😂
Great Christmas Eve Eve viewing 😁 So much Pop Century love - and quite right too. It's amazing how emotional you can get when the sun's in your eyes 🥹 Thank you for sharing such an amazing year with us and have a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year 🎉
Wow! Your Embarkation Day looked amazing. Thank you for sharing and giving your honest opinions. Looking forward to Day 2. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. ❤
I think I would feel exactly the same as you about cruising, Keith. I would be worried about finding places to escape for some peace and quiet. 😏 But I'm glad you tried it and I'm sure it's going to be a great memory with your family!
The other 4 Disney ships offer a lot more relaxation imo. Adult only areas that are far superior to the Wish.The Wish is stunning but it’s overwhelming.Much prefer the older Disney ships.
Keith's reactions to all the different parts of the day were priceless. I was so happy to see you finally enjoying the ship and Tracey's reaction to The Sail Away party was fantastic! Looking forward to the next vlogs. I hope this is the first of many sea adventures for Cheers Ears. Happy Holidays to all🎄♥💚
What a great vlog. Good (imho) to see someone trying something new. Glad to see you all enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Hi guys we did the wish in May it was so good, being honest we didn’t like the Marvel dinner show we were in concierge my god do you get spoilt keep safe Andy and Vonnie
Woo isn’t it a good day for a Cheers Ears vlog! Hope you enjoyed your cruise. I am going on a Disney Cruise in October! Happy holidays, family! May your holidays be merry and bright! Thanks for all the fun videos 💚❤️
Wow, I've been so excited for this part of the vlog just to watch your reactions!! Hopefully, Adam gave you pointers to take advantage of the cruise and get everything you can out of it!! ** He does have a Book about it you know....LOL!!!
Many thanks, as usual a lovely informative vlog and fun too. I've never been on a cruise so it was great seeing first timers point of view. Made me want to try one even more!
Hiya 🤗 I was waiting for this vlog - I honestly think Keith will love love love the cruise. I don’t have sea legs at all so a Disney cruise (or any cruise) is out of the question for me but it looks amazing. I can see, and have seen from other vlogs how it can be a little overwhelming when busy but for the most part it is outweighed by everything else. I love hearing the Disney horn on embarkation day ☺️ I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the cruise goes. Have a magical Christmas ♥️ xxx
Hiya. Aww thats so unfortunate. It did get a bit wobbly at some points and was a bit weird after we left the ship too. I really liked it . It's so impressive. We had a lovely Christmas thanks and hope you did too
We've only done 2 Disney cruises (the 2nd being recent), and we loved the first, but definitely enjoyed it more the 2nd time as you know what to expect. Loved the Wish, beautiful ship.
Pop is a value resort but its price is creeping up to moderate prices, well prices when we started going in 2009.Ive just booked again for 2024 the Skyliner is a big advantage at this resort
Love this one.. we’re going on our first Disney cruise this year so really nice to see what to expect! Where did Tracey get her ears from? I can’t remember if it was mentioned or not 😅 but would love to get some cruise ears for our trip. Looking forward to the next vlog x
In one of the Disney water parks my wedding ring fell off. The lifeguard said don’t worry ma’am go to customer service in an hour. Apparently someone had “ dove” for it . 😊
When we went to Florida Disney in Magic Kingdom in 2016, my daughter who was 10 left her purse in a shop with all her pocket money in it. It never got handed in so doesn't always happen unfortunately! 😔
Thank you for sharing your experiences and letting us all enjoy the fun of Disney from a distance. I’m going on my first Disney cruise in a couple of months and am struggling to book the ground transportation (Virgin holidays have quoted £340!). Could you tell me how you booked the Disney coach please? I’m not sure which email address or phone number to use. Thank you ever so much.
28:23 As a seasoned cruiser I know what you mean. Embarkation day is always stressful at times and I always have a moment of "Why am I doing this", but as soon as day 1 is over everything is great.
Yeah I also think if we do another one I'll know what to expect
Tracey, I usually get the kids meal for breakfast at the quick service in the resorts. It's more than enough for me.
We've been sharing so far but not sure how long it'll last 🤣🤣
Top film inner space 😍. Great vlog as always 👍🏻 cannot wait for your September vlogs
What a film. Time for a re watch I think

Ooh that must have been so cool. What a thing to see
Your take on embarkation day was interesting. I've had the opposite reaction to it. It is a lot but, in a good way. I found that it firmly separated me from normal life and normal responsibilities. As a result, I found it relaxing.
Oh wow. Thats really interesting I found it a bit too much. Would love to do another one though
Im glad you showed the other side of embarkation day because it does look full on and not everyone can cope in these situations
Definitely was an eye opener. I think if we did another one ild be okay as ild know what to expect
Inner Space with martin Short and Dennis Quaid is absolutely brilliant!! One of my favorite movies from when I was a kid!!!
100%. Might be due a rewatch to see if it still stands up
I have loved Keith banging on about Pop Century for the last few vlogs. We are staying on property for the first time at Pop with our 6 and 8 year old in August and you’ve just confirmed we’ve picked the right resort! ❤
Awe you'll have the best time. It's just amazing
Nice cruise vlog going to my second Disney cruise in 2024
Nice you must be so excited
I feel you for your pain of your leatherman, I had my small pocket knife held until I the end of the cruise.
Couldn't believe it . How am I supposed to conduct my dad duties without it
I always stay at Pop I love it there
It's amazing
Bon Voyage lovely Cheers Ears. Hope all goes well. Tall Luke in that top bunk will be an adventure in Itself. 😂 and Luke btw - Blob Luke, Shirtless Luke, Late Luke, Sleepy Luke and Campion Luke - were fans of all! Best always lovely Cheers Ears. ❤️🌈
🤣🤣🤣 love this xx

I just love how excited Keith is! We love cruising with Disney, and know you will have an amazing time!🛳️
So excited for this video. I can’t wait to see if you love your Disney Cruise.

I have heard this before. Ild definitely up for doing another one so maybe a smaller ship might be on the cards

Aww thanks so much. It was a bit of a shock to the system but I really loved it. You can't help but be impressed
Thanks for your honest reactions to being on a cruise ship. I have always dreamt that one day I will be able to do a Disney cruise and know I will probably feel overwhelmed too! I don’t think the amount of vlogs I watch will prepare me lol
Yeah I seen seen a few vlogs too but it was alot. I think I'll be fine if we ever did another one
Awesome vibes all around, thanks for starting my day with a smile ❤🎉😊
My pleasure 😊
What a great vlog so far!
I’ve not done a cruise before but can only imagine it can be quite overwhelmed to start with - thank you for being 100% honest about everything.
Thanks so much and I'll always be honest. I really enjoyed the cruise though
I really do enjoy watching your family on holiday together - your bond as a family is amazing. You guys make me so happy.
Awe thanks so much. I'm very lucky
Awesome start to an awesome and amazing vlog ‼️💯
Thank you so much 😁
Watching Cheers Ears on Christmas Day- awesome. Merry Christmas!!!
Aww love this. Hope you had the best time and happy new year
Thank you so much for being so real and honest - it's so refreshing! Thanks for taking us along to outside your comfort zone 🙂
Thanks so much and I'll always be honest

Woohoo! Been waiting for this video. We are doing our first DCL cruise in January on the Dream (Marvel Day at Sea). We’ve done lots of Royal cruises but never DCL.
Ooh you'll love it
Bon Voyage - how exciting can’t wait to see what you all get up to
I loved the Disney wish. We headed straight to Arendelle as soon as we boarded. A lot of people don’t realise they can go to the other restaurants for lunch. We didn’t get the overwhelming feeling, just took our time to explore. We were on the cruise October 22. So it’s lovely to see your vlog. Bringing back previous memories. Loved castaway. We did the 5k run there. 🥰
What a top tip. I didn't realise you could do that. Maybe we'll do it on the next one .😉

Yeah it definitely took a bit of getting used to but it's so impressive

🤣🤣🤣 yeah it was a little bit wobbly from time to time. The.weirdest part was for a few days after I could still feel the motion
How exciting!.. 🤗
Great Christmas Eve Eve viewing 😁 So much Pop Century love - and quite right too.
It's amazing how emotional you can get when the sun's in your eyes 🥹
Thank you for sharing such an amazing year with us and have a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year 🎉
Awe thanks guys. Hope you had an awesome Christmas and have a.happy new year

Really like it and I fond plenty of quiet spots too. It's really amazing
Keith's reactions to all the different parts of the day were priceless. I was so happy to see you finally enjoying the ship and Tracey's reaction to The Sail Away party was fantastic! Looking forward to the next vlogs. I hope this is the first of many sea adventures for Cheers Ears. Happy Holidays to all🎄♥💚
Thanks so much. It definitely took a bit of adjustment but it was so amazing. Would definitely do another one. Hope you had a great holiday season
Christmas morning prepping the veg and watching Cheers Ears a great way to start the day. Merry Christmas to you "lovely lot" ⛄🌲☃️🌲
Aww how lovely. Thanks so much and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year

Wow, I've been so excited for this part of the vlog just to watch your reactions!! Hopefully, Adam gave you pointers to take advantage of the cruise and get everything you can out of it!! ** He does have a Book about it you know....LOL!!!
I keep thinking that - like Adam wrote a book - please tell me you at least skimmed it before you did a cruise!
🤣🤣🤣 yeah I've seen the book. We really like it . It's just so amazing
@CheersEars yes. That's the word...Amazing! Hahahaha! Yall are too funny! They say.... A family that laughs together stays together!!
Many thanks, as usual a lovely informative vlog and fun too. I've never been on a cruise so it was great seeing first timers point of view. Made me want to try one even more!
So glad you enjoyed it. It really was an eye.opener. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas and happy new year
I've just started to watch i want to thank Adam hattan for the lovely recommending you lot
Awe thanks so much and so glad you found us especially through lovely Adam

Best DCL vlog ever. Tracey- write your email address onto the inside of your glasses case. :)
Aww thanks so much. Top tip for Tracey too.
Love this one.. we’re going on our first Disney cruise this year so really nice to see what to expect! Where did Tracey get her ears from? I can’t remember if it was mentioned or not 😅 but would love to get some cruise ears for our trip. Looking forward to the next vlog x
Ooh how exciting. Her ears were gifted to her @earmagination you can find her on insta. They're really cool
Can I book my place now on the cheers ears followers cruise? lol 🤞
Ooh that would be awesome. Let's do it
@@CheersEars booked lol
Yay! 🚢 ❤
hi guys love your stateroom I hope Luke doesn´t take much time at the bathroom I have never been to a disney cruise in my life but I want to 🦮
It actually all worked out really well. It's so impressive
In one of the Disney water parks my wedding ring fell off. The lifeguard said don’t worry ma’am go to customer service in an hour. Apparently someone had “ dove” for it . 😊
No way that awesome
When we went to Florida Disney in Magic Kingdom in 2016, my daughter who was 10 left her purse in a shop with all her pocket money in it. It never got handed in so doesn't always happen unfortunately! 😔
Oh no that's disappointing
It’s not a boat 😂😂, took 23 minutes to start staying ship! Love the Vlogs 😊 ❤
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your experiences and letting us all enjoy the fun of Disney from a distance. I’m going on my first Disney cruise in a couple of months and am struggling to book the ground transportation (Virgin holidays have quoted £340!). Could you tell me how you booked the Disney coach please? I’m not sure which email address or phone number to use. Thank you ever so much.
Hiya thanks so much. Tracey booked it directly with disney cruise line but had to call them to do it. Cant remember what it cost though
Did you find deck 10 noisy at night?
Not at all we didn't notice anything really
Pop century or Endless Summer?
Pop century all the way for me but I do love endless summer too
❤🚢⚓ 🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻⚓🚢❤
does your daughter not like to be on camera? you never show her.
Daisy is quite a private person and prefers to be in the background
