My 7 year old daughter is bouncing around now after watching this. I wanted to cry when I heard the horn. It’s sooooo exciting, I don’t want to rush your trip but I can’t wait for mine now xx

[@HannahRicketts]

Oh that’s amazing!! Hope you find it all helpful for your trip!

[@LRDreaming]

Haha it was so difficult watching you shop. Miss it so much and just wanted to jump into the screen! Thanks for taking us along with you

[@HannahRicketts]

I wish I could of texted you for an order!

[@jennybullock4280]

Loved that bit of escapism. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. You don't pay any tax at all on merchandise when the ships at sail. That's why the shops wait to open when they're at sea.

[@HannahRicketts]

You do pay tax on this cruise as it’s still working UK waters.. so 20% is added. But yes normally the store openings is to do with tax!

[@tinyt9386]

The Isle of Wight was on the other side of the ship you had beautiful views of Portsmouth 😊

[@HannahRicketts]

Yeah I got that wrong lol

[@AltitudeAerialCornwall]

Looking forward to this, considering how excited you were in the first one. 🙂

So good to see travel starting to come back and what a great trip to ease your way back into travelling again. Thanks for sharing.x

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Hannah 🤗 lovely to see part 2 ☺️ Lumiere’s (might have spelt that wrong 🙈) looked fab - all the food 😋 I was looking forward to hearing the Disney horn, it’s so adorable. Looking forward to part 3 🥰 xxx

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much! Part 3 in a few hours x

[@annaburch3200]

😆 The horns are the best part!! When we were visiting Cape Canaveral, two of the Disney ships were in port and they had a horn competition!! They actually play A LOT of different songs. It was AWESOME!

[@HannahRicketts]

It was so funny! Was hoping to hear more. But yeah seen online some of the others!

[@ccm1767]

So far only the two newer Disney ships, the Dream and Fantasy, play a variety of songs in their horns. The older/classic ships, Magic and Wonder, just play the one quote from"When you wish upon a star."

[@ccm1767]

Thanks for making and sharing these videos. It is fun to see what has and hasn't changed on the Disney ships in 2021 vs the before times. Glad to see you seem to have had a great time.

[@HannahRicketts]

Love seeing every corner of the ship through your eyes! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s adventures!

[@susanmiller1125]

Hannah , l so like the way you thank staff and greet staff - in your vlogs about shops in London too . It seems a small thing , but it brightens a staff members day . You are such a good example of this . Really lovely .

[@digitalportraitist]

Hannah, Thanks for sharing! Your friend is super cute too!

[@susanmiller1125]

l really liked the bathroom set up in your previous vlog - if l understood it correctly from how you filmed it . So sensible the have the toilet with its own door . There is nothing romantic about needing the loo while your hubby needs to shave or shower . Generous amount of towels too . We are in our late 60's and work as missionaries in South Africa , but managed a short cruise 15 years ago - for our 30th wedding anniversary ( yes 45 years married this year - what a wonderful blessing ) . This vlog brings back lovely memories .

[@HannahRicketts]

Aw thanks for sharing! Glad you have tried a cruise!

[@kmak5345]

Am laughing at the champagne tasting, lovely person explaining about Champagne all Hannah thinking when can I neck it all down , remember traveling through Portugal visiting Sherry houses so could drink for free , 😎😎

[@rhondalockrey9592]

What a wonderful treat to give yourself after all the covid crazy. I have been on a few cruises not Disney but I felt a little scared when I first went so glad you didn't let that stop you. I wore a sea sick patch it worked for me. There is something so different about travelling on a cruise ship.

[@HannahRicketts]

Yeah I just thought ‘let’s go for it’ was pleased we did!

[@YouChwb]

Great vid Hannah. I hope your next vlog will include everyone on board celebrating England's win in the Euro Final.

[@vickyb5935]

I, too, just came across your vlog of DM and compared to other vloggers who have been doing cruise reports (some while on the ship, others also doing “live chats”), I like yours the best! You don`t talk fast(travel agent vlog), don`t gush all over the place at every little thing(several “duo” vloggers) and your slow pace, with no CONSTANT chatting, makes me feel like I am right there with you - THANKYOU!! I wouldn`t go on a Disney cruise but your “calm, observing, just saying the necessary” manner has allowed me to take in what you are showing me without overwhelming me!

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much! I try to vlog like you're just a friend with me!

[@tubetop123]

I've been on Disney cruises before and miss them so much! After watching Disney character warehouses videos, the prices on the merchandise on the ships is so much higher Escargots!!!

Fantastic vlog Hannah! I can't wait to have all those appetizers and entrees again. Since this was a test cruise, were you able to book a placeholder cruise (where you select the date at a later time), but can take advantage of the 10% discount while booking onboard? While obviously more crowded, the vibe onboard is even better with more people - all having a great time. Glad you enjoyed yourself, and looking forward to vlog #3.

Yes they had the 10% offer like normal! I do think more people would make it more exciting!

Nice catch of a rather interesting whistle! Shame that they use so much fuel, but probably just as well - probably caught many a person out and rather deafening... Sit up on deck at your peril I remember from the cruises I've been lucky enough to do. Just need to win the lottery and then I'll be able to do it again..

I love the Magic and the Wonder. Their shampoo has the best smell and reminds me of the cruise when I get home. I'm not much of a shopper but I love the cruise merch. Have a great time, enjoy the shows!

Have you managed to get away? Where did you go? I did a Disney cruise from Southampton in August, shortly after this. So much fun. Then I did a non Disney transatlantic to the Caribbean, and now it’s only 50 odd days until my next Disney cruise.

That dinner looked amazing! I know you’re probably being inundated with questions but can I ask if you put your water in your checked luggage? We want to take some bottles of water on but weren’t sure if we would have to carry it on 💜

I asked and they said putting in my case was fine. I had 3 litres of water in my case and there was no issue. Alcohol you need to carry on yourself!

This cruise was for CMs and their family/ friends. nothing to do with youtubers. We just happen to make vlogs in our spare time and work for Disney, the vlogs are nothing to do with Disney. These are just our own views and videos. Hope that makes sense!
