This Cruise Package Includes:
Fun and Festive Cruise - A member of our crew will escort you to your table for a two-hour afternoon of unparalleled cruising fun. Many tables are designed for seating with other guests, reminiscent of ocean-going cruises. Order drinks, then get ready for the time of your life.

Drinks - Coffee, tea, iced tea and water are complimentary. You may also purchase mixed drinks, fine liqueurs, specialty waters, champagne and exceptional wines.

Dazzling City Views - Enjoy the city's famous waterfront from a totally different point of view through Spirit's huge panoramic windows, or from any of the ship's outdoor viewing decks.(See our cruise route.)

Bountiful Dining - Enjoy a crisp green salad served family-style at your table. When your waiter invites you to our Grande Buffet, feel free to select as much or as little as you like from an amazing array of entrees and side dishes. Finish off your meal with your choice of luscious desserts. (See our menu.)

Live Musical Revue - While you relax over coffee and dessert, Spirit's star-quality performers will dazzle you with a theatrical song and dance on the center stage. These exciting entertainers are among the finest "rising stars" in the city.( Sample our show.)

Dance, Dance, Dance - Spirit' s lunch cruises spotlight some of the hottest DJs in the city. For nearly two hours, you can rock or slow dance to a full range of dance hits including R&B, Country, Hip Hop, Pop, Top-40s, and even some line dances.



$36.90 per person
(Price does not include taxes, fuel surcharge, and administrative fees.)

Board: 11:30 a.m.
Cruise: 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

All prices and cruise times are subject to change.


A lunch looks almost affordable. I don't imagine it includes the tip, either, so it's probably close to $60 with tax, tip, etc.

Call us now at 866.429.9283 or click here to contact Spirit via email. We offer special package pricing for groups ranging from school proms to fabulous yacht weddings. Ask about seasonal specials. Spirit prices start at ...
Lunch from $28.90
Brunch from $34.90
Dinner from $50.90
Cocktails from $28.90
Prices do not include taxes, fuel surcharge fees or administrative fees. The administrative fee does not represent a tip or gratuity for our service staff and is used to cover certain direct cruise costs. Similar to a banquet facility, our service staff is paid a higher hourly wage to provide your onboard service. It is appropriate to leave a gratuity for any onboard purchases or if you feel that you received exceptional service.

It looks like we don't need to tip unless we want to......

Dumb question time.....my brain still hasn't recovered fully from last night.

Are we supposed to choose all dates that work for us, example I can do all but 4th and 5th. So should I choose the remaining?

 

[TSWJan78]

You Board: 11:30 a.m.
Cruise: 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Check as many dates as you are avaible

 

[OKW Lover]

I voted. Looking forward to putting some faces with the (screen) names.

 

[WDWCPAlumni]

I am so excited!!!!
I am nervous though, someone on the original post had mentioned everyone getting seasick???
Are you sure we want to do this????

 

[DVCJones]

Yeah, I am one who gets seasick so......I won't be making it. TRUST ME you wouldn't want me there Wow, what a first impression that would be

It's a large boat that stays with in the harbor, so it should be fine except for the most severe cases of motion sickness. you know, people who get sick looking at pictures of waves.

Are we posting this on other boards or is it a podcast thing?

It's not like a whale watch. It's always very calm...remember, there's dinner and dancing onboard, and that's hard to do when there's a lot of motion. Have you tried crystallized ginger? Bonine? If you're nervous about seasickness, I'd premedicate.

 

[TSWJan78]

I can tell you my husband and I did a casino cruise and got soooooooooooo sick... we did a harbor cruise and he was fine. We got sea-bands and I do not think he even needed them. We could barley tell we were moving.

As for opening it up to ther boards I say the more the merrier!!!

I have tried Bonine ONCE It helped a bit, but not enough. I have never been on a whale watch or a Disney cruise for this reason. It is weird, I can do roller coasters and other intense rides, but a peaceful boat ride will do me in every time. Oh well, maybe I will make it to the next meet. I hope you all have a great time.

I have to be the only podcast listener who DOESN'T want to win a Podcast cruise Not that I wouldn't want to hang with everyone....

This is a dinner cruise, I mentioned the seasickness with the Whale Watch, I don't think this ship goes out as far...

 

[miss missy]

dumb question, no kids?

 

[TSWJan78]

Does not matter to me... Anyone else have any thoughts?

Seabands (found at CVS) are very good. DH gets hit on the little boats (and our first day on big boats). These help him every time.

Not bringing DD.....or DH!

Carpool from plymouth?

Just a warning!!! While playing Wii last night for the first time, mariokart, friend said to me and I let you drive my daughter around tonight.

 

[WLfan]

If we're picking between a Saturday and a Sunday. I'd prefer a Saturday that way I could be back a little earlier on Sunday b/c of work Monday.

 

[travelin' tigger]

Voted for Oct. 25th or 26th (only weekend free in Oct.). If then, I'll see you there!!!

 

[burberryplaid]

Darn! I messed up in my vote..I thought I was free every day, so I said any day would work for me, but I forgot I am going to the Gymnastics tour on the 26th..but any other day I am free and I hope to meet everyone!

I say bring whoever..kids, imaginary friends..whoever you want!
