Illuminations Cruise Central--SEPTEMBER

[jeleebeene]

TheSmiths -


I was just cruising this board and noticed that you are looking for people to share your Illuminations Cruise. I might be interested - would you please let me know the cost? It would just be me and my DH - we are 28 yo. with no children - yet

Thanks!!

Hello Jeleebean,

We are still looking for people to share. There is the two of us and on other couple has joined our cruise so far. We'd love for you to join us if you'd like...

As for the cost, the cruise was around $130.00 including the tax. We would split it evenly with everyone. If you join us the cost would be $43.33/couple! Not too bad for a fun boat ride and a great view of the fireworks! : )

If more people joined it would be less.
Let me know if you and your DH are interested.

Thanks,
thesmiths

Thank you so much for replying - I think we will be interested, but let me double check with DH to make sure. He will be home (traveling for work) on Friday, so I will let you know by Friday at the latest.

Thank you again! Sounds great!

The cruise is actually $233.20 plus a $20 tip, so it is 253/ # of people in the boat, even kids.

3 adults and 2 great kids (5 and 4) looking for an Illuminations cruise for Sunday the 14th, Tuesday the 16th or Wednesday the 17th.

Let me know if you have something available. I have a boat booked (with 3 other DIS adults and 2 DIS kids) the 15th but would really like to switch my dates if possible. We are only going to be there for 4 nights and won't get a chance to see the MK fireworks if I can't swap out. BUT I won't leave my DIS-pals in the lurch, either.

Anyone have space or consider a night swap with us?

Thanks in advance -
JuJu

Hello Icy-Dog,

You had me in a panic! I called Disney Reservations and confirmed the cost $120.00 + Tax. (not including tip for the driver). I have the pontoon boat booked - it holds a max of 10 adults. Is this the boat you were referring to?

If you have one booked - you might want to check your costs.

For everyone on my boat - We are still at the same cost!

Whew!

I just about panicked, too, reading the $230.00 thing. I didn't even think about tax or anything. I just figured it was $120 and divided that by 12 and charged everyone joining us $10 each, with everyone on their own with the tip for Captain. We have 10 people going now, so my bf and I will be paying a little more, but that's okay since we got to pick the night and we decided to limit the size of the group to 10. Everybody have fun on your cruises! I personally cannot wait to meet everyone that's sharing with us.

Hi Cruisers - We would love to share space with anyone who has booked a cruise for Monday, September 1 through Sunday September 7. We are a group of 4 - me, my mom, daughter 9 and son 12. We will be staying at the Beach Club, but can meet anywhere. My mom will be celebrating her 65th birthday on this trip and I'd love to surprise her with the cruise.

Thanks.

We found a spot with dBugged. Thanks to the disboards!

I just booked the illuminations cuise for Sept 4. I am so excited. I got thru first try. I guess your better off calling late in the day on a weekend.

[Jakesmom1]

Ok, I called and was able to get thru first try.

We reserved the Criss Craft for 090403. Illuminations leaving the Boardwalk at 830pm.

We have room for 4 more if anyone interested. Total is $179 +tax, to be divided by number of folks going. Tip given individually.

If anyone is interested let me know.

Of course you are right. I meant $133 is the price with 6% sales tax. Sorry I upset you.

I am looking for space on an Illuminations cruise for September 21st or the 23rd, 24th, 25th or 26th. My husband and I have three children ages 18 months, 4 and 6. We have a cruise reserved for Monday night (the 22nd) but have now decided another nioght would work better. Would anyone be willing to trade nights or have space available on another night?

Icy-Dog,

No Worries! I'm just glad I checked.

 

[dBugged]

My wife and I have booked a cruise for September 4th. We have space for 8-10 other people (leaves from Beach/Yacht Club docks). All adults and kids are welcome!

If you are interested in sharing a cruise with us, please send me an email at rob@wdwpix.com (or visit our website and click the email link on the bottom of the page). The total cost is $120, tips are extra. We'll split the cost among all of the people who we squeeze into the boat.

Sorry everyone, it looks like our boat is now full. I received enough emails to fill three boats!

 

[PugLover]

I just wanted to update everybody still looking for a cruise.. our 9/17 Illuminations Cruise is now full. A boat full of DIS'ers!

If anybody cancels I will certainly repost to let everybody know!

Thanks!

Have a fantastic day.
Nicole

Don't know if we can do it yet but, do you still have room for a retired couple? (no kids either)

<b>PugLover</b> Don't worry about duplicate posts on this thread. If you need to you can post on each page.

The entire purpose for the Illuminations Cruise Central posts is to help DISers find and/or offer cruises to share. No worries

Good luck everyone. I hope everyone finds a cruise to share and I truly appreciate everyone who is sharing their cruise space.

Hi Monica - sent you an email regarding our 9/15 cruise. Haven't heard back yet and was wondering if you are still interested or shall we look for another couple to share with us?
We'd love to have you...
