DISNEY *MERRYTIME CHRISTMAS* CRUISE VLOG 🚢✨🐭 disney wish, tree lighting, castaway cay + more!

Cheers. [Music] >> Hi guys, welcome to my channel. If you guys are new here, my name is Alex and I just vlog my life. I am a surgical tech and right now my vacation is starting. So, I just want to give you a little outfit fit check. So, I'm just wearing these biker shorts with this park crew neck and then I'm taking these little cruise ears I got in years past and um just Nike tennis shoes. We are leaving around noon today, probably like 11:30 to go on the Disney Wish and I'm so excited. It's like a four night cruise and we're just going to have a good time. We've been on multiple cruises. I think this is like our eighth or ninth cruise, so it's just going to be super fun. And I'm so excited because it's been two years since we've been on one. And I don't know, there's just something about the Disney Cruise that's just so cool and special. They give like the best service. I don't know how I'm going to organize all this footage. I might cut it in half or I might just put it all together in one vlog. We shall see. Um, but I'm just going to show you guys our adventures and it's going to definitely be a little bit different from years past because I don't know, I feel like vlogging styles have changed and everything. So, it might just be like bits and clips. Um, also too, if you guys are not following me on Instagram, make sure you're following me because it'll mean the absolute world to me and just because I've been trying on Instagram and I always be trying on Instagram, but like no one likes my stuff. It's fine though. Um, I'm grateful for everyone who like clicked to watch my video or just even likes or follows me on Instagram. That's pretty much it for the intro. Let's go. Also too, if I'm looking at the viewfinder a lot, it's because the one time I went to Epic Universe, I film the entire thing in slow motion on this camera. But I absolutely love this camera, so I want to use it. But I'm just like hyper aware now that I need to be seeing the audio bars um moving to make sure I have audio because I don't want that to ever happen again because that sucked. All right, everybody. Hey Valerie, poke your head in. Oh, there's Valerie. >> Hello. >> So, are we all ready for the cruise? >> Yes, more than ready. >> Yep. I'm most excited for just being on the ship, I think. And Castaway Key. >> I could go and just be on the ship and they don't even have to leave, >> right? >> The port. >> Yeah, I know. It's like a great >> Continue on to Florida 417 North. Okay. >> It's like a great resort. It is. All right. This is the best part. >> There it is. >> When you see your cruise boat, >> there she is. >> Yeah. >> It's a vessel. >> Vessel. >> Yeah, it's a vessel. >> The worst >> very big boat. >> The worst part is driving away from this location. >> Yes. >> But then I'm we're happy to get home to our doggy. >> Use the second from the right lane to turn slightly. >> Okay. So, we made it to the check-in area. We got all checked in. Basically, our little passes or like key to the world cards are at our room now and our room is ready. We just have to wait for our boarding group which is 30. This place like where we check in is completely different from like years past. They've totally redone it. So, it's like it almost looks more like an airport now, which I'm kind of not a fan of. Like I like the old version, but it's fine. We're almost on the boat, so it doesn't really matter. >> Wave hi, guys. >> Hi. >> They're excited. But yeah, this is what it's looking like. It's giving Florida MCO airport, but it's not bad. It's just different from years past. [Applause] [Music] by the morning. >> Jerry's taking us to our room. Look at her go. All right, so this is our room and I'll give you a quick room tour here. Um, it's a tight squeeze. So, we have our couch here. This is always quite small, but it's fine. and we make do. Um, this is a little cabinet area. This is where Sherry and Valerie sleep. And this is where I sleep. Um, yeah. So, there's space under here for our luggage. Oh, look. We have here we got a Castaway Gold Club. We're joking around saying that we're never going to make it to platinum because they keep moving the amount of cruises. So, yeah. We got our barbecue area over here. We're on the deck 11 now. There's Carnival, Mickey and Friends. All right, guys. We are headed out to our first uh place for dinner. Well, we might join the party upstairs first. But anyway, Sherry, where are we going? >> We're going to the Bonvoyage party first up on Deco >> and then what restaurant? >> And then we're going to the World of Marvel. >> World of Marvel. All right. So, this is my outfit. I'm just wearing this red. I don't know. It kind of gives marble with this skirt. This uh this is going to be my Christmas party outfit for our neighbors. Sherry's wearing her Thanksgiving outfit. >> Yes. >> And Valerie's wearing her pink. [Music] [Music] Look how much money we've spent. We've only been on the ship for a couple hours and we haven't done a damn thing. But we have bought internet. We have bought a case of water and gas for our um room and all of the chips, which is another $300. So, I'm looking forward to spending more money. Minnie Mouse. >> A mini tangled salon. Very cute. Cleaning the ship. It's not that cold. [Music] All right, we're here at Marvel World of Marvel. Here's the menu. I think I'm going to get like pasta with some shrimp. Mallerie's going to get the beef tenderloin. Sher was amazing and we requested to just like have our own table and they honored that. And then she also requested to get Arendelle two nights in a row and they did honor that. So, we're really happy. Like we like sitting with other people, but like we also like to have like just our family to like talk about things, you know, like that you definitely wouldn't talk about with like people you just met on a boat. So, I don't know. We're just happy that we're able to like just have our handling. And this thing makes up for a really good tripod. Look at that. Look at Sherry. Look. >> It does. >> Keep in here. >> Give us a smile. >> It looks really good. >> It does. >> Valerie, you want to say anything to the people? >> Hello. >> There you go. And then the mothers are having the appetizer. It's like bread. She got the wedge salad. That looks so good. What dressing is it though? >> Blue cheese. Oh, >> you want to take a picture of mine? >> Sure. Here's Valerie soup. >> Beautiful. >> Got my pasta and shrimp. >> Yum, yum, yum. >> Always got to have the Mickey bar. >> Look at that key lime pie. Valerie also got the key lime pie. [Music] you were going. You would have been [Music] >> We're going to just do some shopping >> at Mickey's main sale. I'm immediately drawn to the ears, but those aren't cruise ears. I had to show you guys the ears. I really liked these and these, but I'm probably not going to get any on this cruise. Got the backpacks here. And then because this is a very Merrytown Christmas cruise, they do have Christmas merch. This one is so cute. I really like that. Disney. >> I wonder what the back looks like. Oh, it says Disney Cruise Line. Oh, that's nice. >> Shirts. >> Oh, Disney Cruise Line shirt. That's Christmas. And then here's a Christmas edition spirit jersey. It probably says Disney Cruise Line on the back. How cute is this? It's a Disney Cruise Line Captain Mickey Santa hat. And then there's these Christmas ears, but they don't really like have Disney Cruise Line on it. It's just like the red ears. And then more stuffed animals. Just like normal merch, but with a little twist. >> Wish. >> Oh my gosh, there's even like Wish merch. That's so cool. >> Wish baseball cap. >> Wish baseball cap. Try saying that 10 times fast. I do love a good gingerbread house. I love gingerbread. One of my favorites. [Music] armor. You'll craft this. >> Oh, yes. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah, I'm videoing. >> Keep going. >> You got to put some emphasis in it. >> Oh my god. Isn't that cute? So that's the frozen mother. >> Oh my gosh. >> Thank you. Yeah. >> You're welcome. >> Have a ride. >> Sure. There you go, man. >> All right. Go ahead. [Music] >> Pleasure. >> Now we are waiting for the tree lighting. >> Oh yeah, we can cut through here. Waiting for the tree lighting. And we were joking around saying they must just turn it off and turn it back on. So now Sher and I are just waiting for the tree lighting. We're just sitting. It's 9:00, so it's going to be pretty soon. I'm just going to use my phone to film so I can like zoom in better cuz this zoom is like so bad. Like I'm not even going to lie. But yeah, this camera doesn't zoom very well. Or I mean it zooms well. It just takes forever. >> All right, Sherry. So how many times have we cruised? >> We have cruised. This is number nine. >> Number nine. [Music] [Applause] I'm excited. [Applause] >> The next day. >> Good morning, guys. And it is the next day. I am headed to take my annual photos in front of the big um steamboat uh like machines. I think they're like the engines. I don't know. It's the big thing with the Mickey Mouse. But I brought my tripod like last time and this worked out really well because like I could just snap pictures and stuff. And I always choose to take photos like when we're docked and like people are getting off the ship or like early in the morning or like late at night cuz then you run into less people and it's less awkward. So that's my tip. Um you kind of like see there's no one here. Hopefully they didn't make their announcement about like you know we are docked at Nassau and the weather is this. They haven't like made that announcement. So I'm hoping that like we're already docked and people are off the ship. That's what I'm hoping for. I also wanted um this outfit cuz I like my crews ears. I just like this for the photo. And then Oh, no. >> Okay. So, there's a group of people that have the same idea as me. It's fine. I'll just wait cuz I don't know. I have a good angle. So, I'll just wait here until people are like done. But yeah, but typically the plan does work. >> That's the shot. Okay. So, now we are at Merceline Market for breakfast. Good morning. Um, it's kind of just like a buffet and it's kind of crowded. So, I'm just going to find my parents real quick before I get something. I am kind of hungry. So, all right. So, I met up with Mother's and they got their locks and bagels. Valerie got a fairly good meal there. I'm thinking I'm going to go get some coffee, but I got some photos. I'll show you guys. I think they're all like pretty good and they're in the outfit I wanted. So, you know, fun stuff. [Music] alcohol. >> Sherry got an alcoholic beverage. I didn't realize that was alcoholic. Oh, >> yeah. >> What is it? Does it have Bailey's in it? >> It's got Irish whiskey. >> Oh, Sherry's starting early. >> And look, I I got a little Christmas tree cookie. >> Cute. >> Little miniature cookie to go with my miniature drink. >> Mallerie's in her comfort zone. >> I am. >> Laptop in hand. >> Mhm. Or in lap. I don't really I don't really have work work to do, but I have things I want to get done. >> Mhm. >> I was definitely feeling fries and salad. So, got a couple salads and a chicken tender. So, it's like a chicken Caesar salad with fries. >> All right. So, Sher, where are we headed now? Similar to the DVC. >> Going to the DVC. We might start by the DVC booth if anyone was there. >> Yep. >> Then we're going to go to the DVC welcoming partyish. >> Yeah. So, we're going to Disney Vacation Club stuff cuz you know Sher loves her Disney Vacation Club cuz she works for them. All right. I guess they have a barber here. That's cool. >> So, which is which? >> This one is a cider. >> Oh, cider. Okay. So, and with a vodka, beach liquor. >> There you go. In front of the DDC sign. >> Can you see it sparkling? Yeah, you can see it sparkling now. >> Let me take a picture on my phone. >> Where? >> On the screen. >> Oh, well, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> Look, Daisy came to visit. A look at her little outfit. So, now we are headed to dinner. I'm just wearing this dress. I love this dress. Sorry, I'm hitting Valerie in the face with ears. But this is my dinner outfit. >> This is my dinner outfit. >> Yep. Yep. Show the camera. >> My dinner outfit. >> Yep. Show. Yeah. >> Casual. Yeah. >> Casual. >> So, we're going to go to bingo. Right. >> Right. >> And then to dinner. >> All right. 8 years old has to do. >> We played bingo and it was fun, but like they had it different this time. Like we had to use these like plastic things and then write with a marker. It's right over here, Sherry. And it was kind of hard cuz my like marker was running out of ink. So, it was a little stressful, but it's fine. Um I just wish they would give us the plastic. I just wish they would give us the paper and then we could just turn it down like normal. All right. And now we're going to Arendelle to have dinner. Hey. >> Oh my gosh. >> Hey, Mickey. >> A Say hi, Mickey. [Music] >> That's a pleasant surprise. All beautiful. We're heading on into Arendelle here. This restaurant has done so well. Even like the little line area where we file in. Like look at the walls. [Music] >> Good. Good. [Music] Stay over there. Yes. >> Commenting how you have cleaned up Crystal. >> My sister always says it wouldn't be an Arenalian celebration without it. >> Right. Right. Hands down. This is the best engagement party ever. >> I think so. >> I mean, I think it is. This is my first engagement party. I've never been engaged before. >> How does one become engaged? >> That's what I was going to say. My food is >> cheer. Did you get the same thing? >> I did. >> Oh, okay. >> I got it. >> Got a Mickey bar and Valerie got cake and unpronouncable name. >> Yep. [Music] Oh my gosh. One of my favorite places. It's so cute. I love this theme so much. Yeah. >> The next day. >> So, it is day three of the cruise and I'm wearing my gingham print uh bathing suit here. Uh it's kind of cheeky, but anyway. Yeah, gingham print bathing suit. And then this is like my cover up. I'm going to go get coffee and hopefully I'll take some pictures. I don't know if I will get to take photos because it's kind of like later in the morning. Um, and normally I have to go like early to get pictures, but it'll be okay. I'm taking my aloe bag for like the beach bag. I have my mom's stuff. I have my tripod. I also have my This is my mom's hat, but I think the red goes well with the gingham. So, that's why I'm like, "Oh, I'll just wear that one." Then this time, I'm not making a mistake. I'm going to take the Stanley. So, yep. Let's get on the road and get some coffee. I always love these mirrors, especially when I'm the only one in the elevator. No, but I was saying that I wasn't that proud of the picture I posted, but it's Oh, wow. That was fast. Okay. Anyway, I wasn't as like proud of that one, >> but I think I have to go see what they have at least. >> All right, so I might actually end up taking my photo because there's like nobody here, y'all. This is awesome. Yes. All right, this is good. Right here would be like pretty cute. Oh my gosh, look the island. How beautiful. Yes. All right. Definitely taking a photo. Oh, I can take a photo there now cuz like literally no one's there. Wow. Well, maybe I might redo it. I wonder if this will stay here. I don't know. Oh, it will. Okay. So, I was just saying how I was like, well, I was beginning to tell you guys when we were in when we were in the elevator how I was like not proud of the photos I just posted on Instagram. So, I think I'm just going to repost it because you know what? I don't even care. Like, I want to be proud of like what I post and like not just post whatever because like yesterday's post with the park like crew neck and stuff. That was a really cute outfit and I really liked it. But I was telling you guys how like I was just not proud of it because there was like the lawn chairs, not lawn chairs, but like the beach chairs like in the photos and I just wasn't liking anything. But I took some photos just now. I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is my sign to just redo it." Um, in my cute bathing suit, and my like little Disney Cruise Line hat. So, I think I got some really good ones. And honestly, like I haven't been going to Pilates for nothing. So, anyway, I'm really happy with um I think I'm really happy with the photos. Um, they picked up the beach chairs, so I got like my shot. So guys, like when you're docked at Casai Key, that's the day to do it. And then also too, a day to do a photo shoot like here. There's like legit no one here. Like this is amazing. This is every like content creator's kind of dream. So anyway, yeah, I have my tripod, my trusty tripod there. Y'all, this is like kind of my version of fun. Like I'm having a blast. Like, yeah, don't let anyone steal your fun and just do what you want to do cuz then you'll eventually find the perfect time, the perfect perfect place to like do your photos and stuff. So, anyway, now I think I'm going to take some photos here in this little area. All right, so I also got my photos here thanks to this Octoy thing. It's like a magnet one. So, I just put it there. And then this is the view. So, okay, my photography shoot checklist is complete. This must be how Shamu feels in the big tank when he comes up and is like see like it's a big tank. Anyway, I love it when there's like no one here. It's the best feeling ever. Spend a little time in the pool. Going to get my iced coffee now. Cheers. And this straw is made out of sugar, he said, which is quite interesting. We're at our favorite place, or at least this is one of my favorite places, Castaway Key, and we're going to have lunch now. It's about like 12:30, so I've had such a fabulous morning, Sherry. >> Yes. >> What about you? >> Had a fabulous morning. I had breakfast up at Marceline's Market in the outdoor seating, which we found a lot more outdoor seating than the last time we were here, so that was good. Now we're going to lunch. I feel like we just eat here. >> We pretty much do. That's our curse. >> Valerie. Valerie likes the lunch here. It's her favorite. >> Yep. Well, get my hair braided. >> Yes. It's another It's another fun thing she loves. >> On our way to the beach. >> Yeah. Not too much. [Music] Do you remember when I won the crab race there? I got a keychain. [Applause] All right. [Music] Got a Moscow mule. >> Okay, so we're at the same restaurant as yesterday, but I forgot to film my outfit. But basically, I'm wearing this green dress. You guys have seen it before, but anyway. Yeah. And then I just put this on cuz it's pirate night. Um yeah, I was going to wear my pirate like outfit, but I'm like nah cuz then we're going to the rose bar and I want to like look nice for that. So it was good. Okay, so because it's pirate night, they changed the menu. So there's just different um options and stuff, but I think I'm still going to get salmon. I just got the same thing as last night, but instead I got a baked potato instead of the fries. And now I'm just going to get some ice cream. Cool. It's kind of dark. Never mind. >> All right. So, I'm getting these ears and then Sher's getting this wish towel. Valerie, have you landed on a souvenir for yourself? Um, yeah. No, >> no, not yet. >> Not yet. I don't think that >> anyway. But yeah, I think these will match a lot of outfits and then like for future cruises and then this gives like sailing away. So, we're just getting in our shopping. Um, but yeah, there's like some visors, Mickey ears. I showed you guys this before, but you guys know I don't like those. I like the sequin. So, I was like thinking those or those. But those are similar to the ones I have. And then the bow's kind of too big on that one. So, I landed on those. So, we're just going to do some window shopping. There's some really cute dresses here. Ooh, these are cool hats. >> You really, really like it. And >> they have the Stony Clover stuff here. How cute. I like it. >> Sanitizer. >> Valerie lost her hand sanitizer. But I want to show you guys I still fit in this costume from 10th grade. We did a pirate dance and um we decided to like come back to the room. So, I was like, "You know what? I brought this pirate costume, so I'm going to wear it." And I'm wearing it. We got the right [Music] place. >> Had to stop into hiber space. [Music] [Music] The next day, [Music] >> we're getting our coffees. And look at the character on cherries. >> Is our final dinner. And I think we're going to try to hit the rose for a drink and maybe like see out on the ship in that view. We'll see. But I'm just wearing my uh Thanksgiving outfit with the Alex and Annie ears. Um just for like a little dressy occasion. And then we're going to 1928. 1923. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um we're going to check that out. Um cuz that's our last dinner location. And then we're going to see the show. So, that's the game plan for this evening. Today, I went on the Aqua Mouse and we just basically chilled out on the pool. There wasn't like much to show. And I had a really big lunch of carbs. It was great. [Music] >> Hi, >> Cherry. Some good bread. >> My favorite meal, fellas. And then Valerie and Sherry, we all got the same thing. Sherry got churros and Valerie got this. Don't know what it is. Yeah, it's um it's like a pudding almost. And we are packing up as you guys can see. I like literally stuffed everything in there. But >> our vacation's coming to an end and we are going to head to breakfast. Well, first we're going to show then tomorrow we're going to head to breakfast and then we disembark.
