In a vlog posted on their YouTube channel, Sue and her husband Noel explained how they pulled off the surprise.
“The kids all think we’re going home, to the airport but we’re not,” Noel told their subscribers.
Instead, the family headed to Port Canaveral, where they boarded the cruise, which set them back £3,800 a night for their group of 15.
The Disney Fantasy cruise is estimated to cost $2,400 (£1,800) per person for seven nights.

“I can’t wait to see their faces, I really can’t,” Noel said as they pulled up to the port.
He panned the camera to an “emotional” Sue who wiped away tears as she looked out the bus window.
The children also shared their excitement about going onboard the “massive ship” for a week.
Oscar, 13, described the set-up as “amazing” as the family explored one of the pool decks.
“There are two pools, two slides, free ice-cream, free drinks, free food, everything, my dream on a ship,” he said.
The family booked three adjoining rooms, giving their audience a tour of their connecting balconies.
Sue and Noel took their younger children to check out the kid’s club on board.
The features included colouring stations, interactive screens, and video games.
They also enjoyed some entertainment on the pool deck, where various Disney characters greeted guests.
After the performance, the Radfords looked out at the Florida coastline as their cruise set sail.
The group then made their way to the one of the restaurants on board for dinner.
