ILLUMINATIONS CRUISES-What they are--How to book--FIND ONE TO SHARE

[elderfam]

Hello,

We are two adults and an infant looking to see if anyone had room for us and would like company for the illuminations cruise. This is my DH favorite show (he would go EVERY night if he could!) and we are celebrating the adoption of our son! We are a military family and lots of fun!

Thanks!!
Cynthia

if someone wants, we can coordinate a time, and then you can call right after to book it. I just want to help someone out on the boards.

After checking our schedule, we could do a cruise on October 4th or 6th. This is for two adults, so if anyone has room, please let me know. You can leave info here or email at ugadog99@aol.com.


Thanks,
Melanie

Thanks to the poster who taught me how to post pictures!

Here are some from our Breathless ride on Aug. 28

My dd's with Aaron (currently the only Breathless driver). He was awesome!!!

Our whole family after we got back (sorry this is dark).

More coming ...

In this one, you can see the back of the boat and the last row of seating (behind the engine). It would be romantic to sit back here, but you cannot interact with the driver or get snacks from this spot.

Here you can see the whole boat. They claim you can get 2 people PLUS the driver up front, 3 in the middle and 2 in the back. I think it would be a tight squeeze to get 2 people with the driver. We had my dh sit next to driver Aaron and then myself and our 2 dd's (ages 15 & 11) sit in the middle seat. No one sat in the back on our ride.

Here's another view.

Here's the sign that tells about the Breathless II.

The guys at the marina suggested I call WDW-PLAY (not again..) and book another celebration cruise. Easy for them to say, I really didn't want to jump on the phone and start the booking process all over again. But that's what I did. And they were wonderful; they arranged a cruise for tomorrow night, and the Grand Floridian bakery found my cake and said they'd bake another and deliver it tomorrow at the marina. Everyone laughed and commisserated with me about the weather and congratulated us many times about our anniversary.

My point is, this was a pretty big curve ball and yet with a few calls Disney put everything right again. What did we end up doing? As soon as the cruise was cancelled, it stopped raining.

CRUISE UPDATE - As of 8pm, GF's marina told me that tonight's Wishes cruise (make up for last night's anniversary cruise) has been cancelled due to dangerous lightning... again. DH & I have decided that this just wasn't meant to be this time. We're going to book one in May. Hope this weather clears up soon so that everyone's cruises are as wonderful as our Illuminations cruise was on 9/9 ~ Enjoy!!

Hi! I have 4 seats available for Wishes cruise on Wed. Dec 12 leaving from Polynesian. Adults only please (sorry, don't mean be rude) as this is an Anniv and adult birthday Celebration cruise. Cruise includes audio feed. Price is $275 (to split) and it seems as though most people tip the driver $50.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Just wondering if anyone has 3 last minute seats for a Wishes or Illuminations cruise this Saturday, Sunday or Monday? Sept. 15, 16 or 17th!

Just an FYI, I just called to book an IllumiNations cruise for our week. Nov. 9th was open, but we couldn't take it. We have La Nouba planned that night.
