It's a NEW Disney Cruise Line vlog series! Rachel and I are sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line's Disney Magic to Northern Europe. Our seven night sailing from Dover, England includes a day at sea, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen and a final day at sea before returning to Dover. We are staying in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom.
In this vlog, we start our journey from Dover Priory train station. Here we board a Disney Cruise Line organised shuttle service to the Dover Cruise Terminal for check-in. I'll walk you through the luggage, check-in, security and embarkation process, if you're planning on a cruise sometime soon from Dover or with Disney Cruise Line.
Once onboard, we venture to the Palo reservation desk to enquire about a reservation for Brunch before taking a look around the ship, including the youth activities open houses. Around the Disney Magic we check out the cinema, merchandise shops, pool deck and sports deck before getting into our stateroom. Once inside, we do a full in-depth stateroom tour (or room tour, whichever you want to call it). With a large porthole oceanview, queen size bed, sofa bed and split bathrooms, we were more than happy!
I'll share a bit of the safety muster drill before the Sail-A-Wave party featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and the Cruise Staff! Shortly after that, we continue our exploring of the ship. In our exploring, we venture into a general knowledge quiz and meet the lovely Poonam and Rachel. It's then showtime in the Walt Disney theatre as we enjoy the Be Our Guest Welcome Aboard show!
Dinner this evening is in Animator's Palate, complete with Fantasmicesque show and a delicious menu. After dinner we venture to the adults only space called After Hours, where we check-in on a gameshow and soak up the ship atmosphere. Shortly after returning to our stateroom, we have a bit of a problem...
Throughout the vlog I'll be sharing some of my Disney Cruise Line planning and vacation tips as well as some little known facts of Disney Cruise Line.

That was really fun to watch. I didn’t even realize the time length until I saw it at the end of the vlog. The new Dream Guide? That was a great surprise. I’ll be hopping over to place an order later today. Haven’t been on a Disney Cruise yet, but your previous vlogs have peaked my interest. Looking forward to part 2 next week already!

It's great to see how quickly Disney dealt with your plumbing issue! Love that you show the adult only after hours areas. Can't wait for the next installment!

[@jenniferburpee9900]

When you thought you lost your card my reaction was “foreshadowing to Gary?”

[@kimt8162]

Morning! Happy to hear the positivity for this Monday.

[@mamalipster6923]

Nothing better then a happy Adam on Cruise Embarkation day. I'm excited to see how this cruise goes, as I've actually been looking into the northern Europe cruises for either 2020 or 2021.

[@teresah5318]

My husband and I were on the Disney Wonder in 2009. Because of Disney we have become regular cruisers (on Princess). Disney is exceptional in all that they do! My dream is to one day take my grandchildren on a Disney cruise. Excellent video and thank you for doing it!

[@amandawatjen4471]

Yay! You're back!! I missed your videos!

[@kayatwood5183]

This really makes me want to take a Cruise. Beautiful ship. I know this is going to be a fun series.

[@cyncyn3667]

This is where I first fell in love with Rachel thank you to our man Adam xx

[@jennh7040]

Happpy to see a new series. I am really looking forward to this because I have only been on Bahamian and Caribbean Cruises with DCL. Looking forward to seeing the ports you visit. Rachel is so cute, she is great on camera with you. I was shouting at the camera during the stateroom tour “look in the drawer in the desk Adam; there is a better hair dryer for you to use!” So glad you found it! 😊 Loved that you showed the kids/teens clubs, the spa and the other areas- very informative! Sorry about the bathroom issue but so glad DCL moved you so quickly! Great job Adam on the vlog. Also, congratulations on your new book!

[@chuckoneill2023]

Rachel is gorgeous. Also, she rocks the Emma Peel look. Looking forward to this series, the North Europe itinerary is not one I’ve seen vlogs on before. ❤️

OMG YES. Thank you Adam for the cruise book. I just booked with my mom sis and grama and don’t know half as much as I do about Disney World! I will be picking one up

[@RachelRocksDisney]

YAS!!! this just made my morning!!!

[@LivvyAlexW]

I went on a Norwegian cruise line cruise and loved it. I didn’t want to leave. It was the best

[@car_tar3882]

Actually what she said was a good idea the reason the pools are so small is it’s hard to ballence that much weight at the top so they keep it small and drain it in bad storms

[@PhilsTheBlanks]

Great vid Adam you make me lol when you boarded the cruise !!

[@rachaelkluba2443]

I’m behind on these vlogs but looks like it’s going to be amazing!!!

OH MY GOD YOU MADE A DISNEY CRUISE LINE DREAM GUIDE!

[@adamhattan]

Hope you like it Olivia 💖

[@organisedchaosxo]

I've been on 2 cruises to Norway although not with Disney Cruise Lines and I just love it although it is a very spendy place!

[@Slaylikebeaukay]

Those phones look amazing !

[@lorrifrench4460]

Glad I ran across this. Subscribed. Thank you for sharing it. I Have been on Royal Caribbean, but Haven’t been on a Disney Cruise yet .

[@lauren2749]

OMG YASS I missed your videos!

[@amy_soucy]

I'm so over due for this! Thanks for the peek!

[@joyce52]

Adam, I have been watching your videos constantly for days and can not figure out how in the world to put them in any sort of sequence. I go from 2018 to 2020 and never seem to be able to get them in sequence when I go back in to continue. You are exactly what I would be after if I were young again. I have always been known for my sense of humor and I could imagine what it would be like if I ever met you. Then add Gary and it is out of control. By the way Rachel is a lovely young lady and also has a sense of humor. I will figure this all out, but I was on day two of you and Gary in Disney World and you had several more days and I never found them. This is like a little game for me now, "Lets find Adam on Day Three."

[@jodicollier3964]

So great to see a new video! I will be interested to hear your thoughts about cruising from the UK as compared to Florida. I would love to do a Disney cruise in 2021 but either departure point is a VERY long way from Australia!! 🤪🤪

[@PatandSam]

Such a dream! Would love to be on a Disney cruise some day!

[@kmak5345]

Hello Adam , the double beds are usually 2 singles pushed together, housekeeping can change to two singles Am sure your next vlog will see this done ,🥰 Never knew Disney cruised from Dover , well I never 🥳

[@rachela1496]

Petition to bring Rachel back!!! 💕💜💕

[@CheersEars]

Just brilliant!! Now looking at prices 👍👍

Ok, this really makes me want to book a Disney Cruise!
