Mum-of-22 Sue, 49, from Lancashire, uploaded snaps from what appeared to be a cruise on her Instagram.
Two of her girls appeared to be enjoying the view from their room’s balcony as they pointed out a “pirate” sailing ship.
Later, the youngsters were dressed in adorable matching Elsa dresses as they posed in front of an ocean view.
The family appeared to be making the most of life on board, as they checked out delicious-looking desserts and cakes.
More on the Radfords
And at dinner, Sue shared a peek at her meal, which was beef wellington with potatoes and gravy.
The kids appeared to be happily occupied at the table, as Sue shared how they had ‘draw your own character’ worksheets to fill in.
Back at the room, the Radford mum shared how the “highlight of every night” was the towel art created by staff.
She showed how the kids’ teddies had been arranged on the bed, with a sea lion towel shape in the middle with sunglasses on.

Homeward bound
Despite the trip looking fun, Sue admitted that she was “so excited to get home”, after Katie - who isn’t on the holiday - said she was counting down the days until their return as she wasn’t enjoying the empty house.

Disney Cruise prices vary depending on a number of factors, including the length of the trip, the ship, cabin selection, and the destination.
The Radfords haven’t confirmed what ship they are on, but a Disney cruise for two people can cost £759 ($1,000).
Sue has been keeping fans updated with their activities in posts on their page.
Last Thursday Sue, Noel and the brood headed to the famous IHOP for breakfast.
While Sue tucked into a cup of coffee, Bonnie, five, looked delighted with her French toast, fruit and chocolate dip.

Disney fun
They then headed to Epcot for the International Food & Wine Festival 2024, with Sue sharing a snap of herself holding a brochure for the event.
Eagle-eyed fans also spotted that Sue appeared to have treated herself to a new accessory, in the form of a £79.99 Loungefly bag.
The matriarch has quite the collection of the Disney bags, and seems to get one each time they visit the theme park.
This time, she went for a Minnie Mouse one, with a huge coral bow on the top, alongside coral rose ears.
Showing off her new bag, Sue also displayed her Disney-themed manicure - with little mouse outlines in white on her nails - as she enjoyed a glass of pink champagne.
The family ended the day with a trip to an outdoor cinema on the beach.
Despite the fact that it's currently 31 degrees in Florida at the moment, there was even a fire - with the kids looking delighted as they had S'mores.

Those who weren't indulging in the marshmallow concoctions entertained themselves by playing in the white sand.
They then settled down in deckchairs on the beach to watch that night's film.

Is the Disney Cruise worth it?
FABULOUS writer Becky Pemberton was lucky enough to spend time on the Disney Wish cruise ship and gave her views...
This 1,119ft floating theme park is the largest in the Disney fleet with three and four-night itineraries to Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, from Port Canaveral, Florida.
While the ship is a treasure trove for Mickey, Marvel and princess-lovers, if you are a Star Wars buff you’ll be in your element with so many galactic delights at every corner of this grand vessel.
In the Oceaneer Club — accessed via a slide — children can crash-land in the epic Star Wars-themed Cargo Bay.
Here, they’ll learn how to care for exotic creatures on the planet of the Batuu, such as the adorable sea-dwelling Porgs.
Eagle-eyed fans may spot some Porg poo (yes, really!) that was specially created for the cruise ship by Lucasfilm.
Or if they prefer to get involved in battle action, kids can train with superheroes like Black Panther and Spider-Man at the Marvel Super Hero Academy before taking on virtual villains.
Adult cruisers have not been forgotten and smoking cocktails, like The Chancellor, are just one reason to swing by the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge.
If it’s swim and sun time you’re after though, no passenger will be short of choice as the Disney Wish has more pools and deck space than any other Disney ship, including the new Toy Story Splash Zone.
It is also the only one to have a Disney attraction at sea — the 760ft-long AquaMouse, a water-coaster that blasts riders out into a water tunnel suspended above the upper deck.
Plus there’s an adults-only infinity pool — a great spot for watching the sun set.
You’ll have your pick of brilliant food options, too. The restaurants here bring Disney’s popular movies to life, and our first night is spent at the Frozen-themed Arendelle restaurant where we meet the characters themselves as they celebrate Anna and Kristoff’s engagement.
Disney is the only major cruise line currently offering fireworks at sea, with shells made of special biodegradable materials that are safe for fish.
Our cruise includes a day at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, and while we love our snorkelling and beach barbecue, we can’t wait to get back on board to continue the adventure.
