Cruise booked for my birthday March 1st 2013. We have 3 of us going. Message me if you are fun!

Does anybody know if there is a discount on the Illuminations Cruises for Seasonal AP's?

Also, are all the boats now equipped with on-board audio?

TIA!

I'm so happy I've found this thread! I've posted on two forums asking for info, and though I've gotten a good responce at one, I'm excited to find this.
I was just wondering though - The info on the first post os very outdated (though I would be beyond thrilled if those were the current prices...). Is there another post with more up to date pricing and info?

TIA!

I don't know about the audio, but I do know there is no AP discount.

We are two adults looking to share an Illuminations cruise with someone that has already booked. Please email me at egyptes at sbcglobal.net

Sincerely,

The Disboards work like a charm! Received response and we're all set for Epcot fireworks cruise!

Thank you Patty57!

Cheers,

I am looking to see if someone has a cruise booked May 4th-11th that they are willing to share with my husband and I ... we will not have any kids with us..

So it looks like the original post that started this thread is closing in on 12 years old. Is the advice still valid? It's hard to believe that the menu system for reservations hasn't changed in over a decade. Can anyone who's booked a cruise more recently share the experience a bit?

I just booked for mid-July trip and I secured ressie with CC. Charged once we arrive for cruise. There will be 4 of us on the boat, they include snacks, soft drinks/water, but you can call private dining for food. Total cost was $375ish

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, but I guess I was looking for more info about the process of actually making the reservation. That initial post has a lot of very specific directions and makes it seem like you need to know the phone tree by heart to have any hope of securing a reservation. Is that still the case? Is there even still a phone tree?

Thanks.

rockchica · 02-27-2013, 06:04 PM

Hi I'm a solo traveler and interested in going on the cruise March 14th if someone has a spot available.

Sorry, I missed that part of your post.

Call 407-wdw-play to make a reservation. Have your credit card handy. Press 1 for English if that's your native language, then 1 again at the next prompt. It's not called Illuminations Cruise, just a fireworks cruise. Also, the CM will tell you that fireworks are not guaranteed but that you'll be in the world showcase during Illuminations. Boat leaves at 8:30 from Yacht Club Marina but they ask that you arrive at 8:00pm.

Hi, Looking for a spot for two adults on a booked Illuminations cruise for May 2nd or May 6th. Please PM if you have space.
Thanks. Patty

BradleyB · 03-04-2013, 01:15 AM
