Hi <b>Cruella0909</b> and welcome to the DIS. I'm really glad you found us.
First of all, do not give up calling for an illuminations cruise reservation. Cancellations truly <i>do</i> happen every day.
Secondly, I think you may have a better chance of finding a cruise to share if you post this request in our <b>
ILLUMINATIONS CRUISE CENTRAL FOR OCTOBER</b> thread. It's a central location where people list offers to share cruises and requests to share.
Good luck!
