Fireworks cruises with kids - how long is it (thinking about bladder control!)

[peacefrogdog]

I'm thinking of birthday ideas for my 6-year old daughter. We also have two four-year olds. I had thought about either the Wishes cruise or one of the Illuminations cruises but had heard on the podcast that you'd have to have good bladder control as is there aren't bathrooms on board.

What is the time on board the boats for either of these cruises?

Have you checked out renting the Grand One Yacht? I believe there's a bathroom on board. It seats 12, you can have private dining bring a cake and snacks.

The cost is $400 an hour, not much more than the basic cruises.

We went on a Wishes cruise this past Dec. with the same aged kids as you, OP with no problem. We just made sure they went to the rest room prior to leaving. I'm guesstimating the cruise was about an hour and 1/2. It was fun and the kids really enjoyed it. The youngest fell asleep towards the end, but still loved it.

If you are really worried, you could get one of these:

We bought it when DD just turned 3....she is almost 4 now. We keep it in the car and use it all the time. Much better than having her sit in a public restroom!
