My DH, DS23, DD20, DS17 and myself have an Illuminations cruise reserved for Saturday, August 30th. We would like to split the cruise if anyone is interested. The cruise check in time is 8 pm at the Yacht and Beach Club marina. The cruise total is 292.88 plus tip for the captain with a maximum capacity of 10. PM me if you are interested.

Hi all,
First time poster here. Love all things Disney.

Have never done one of the specialty cruises and would like to surprise the family (DH, DB, DSIL, DNeps & DNieces) with Illuminations or Wishes fireworks cruise, with the trimmings for a birthday celebration as well.

When I called today to book Illuminations (I'm 89 days out, but who's counting ), I was told that I could only book for a party of 10 - no more. We total 8 adults, 2 children (7 and 4) and one little guy (1 yr old). I know I read somewhere that you could book the large pontoon boat for a party of 10, maybe 12 if children are included.

What's your experience w/the number of people allowed to cruise? I'd hate to book for a party of 10 and be turned away because I have 11!

Thanks!

Seagaylego

Does anyone have room for 3 on a cruise on AUgust 15th or August 18th? Or am I just way too late on this one??

Disney Mom, Disney SIster and DIsney Daughter aged 10 all looking to finally do a cruise.
Please Let me know if anyone has any space on their cruise.
thanks,

I haven't read through all 178 pages to check but I just wanted to give a head's up that the prompts have changed. I called this morning and all I had to press was #1 and then went right to a reservationist. I missed gettign the Breathless because I had to hang up and call back.

Also the prices are now significantly higher, just about $300 with tax before tip. The rest of the info was great and it was wonderful of Kath to put it together.

I am referring to the August 30th cruise. We are actually 6 people (3 adults, 3 kids), but I've done it before and I can stay behind if necessary. We are staying at POP Century 8/24 -8/31

Thanks,
Lori

I posted this on the September cruise sharing board, but haven't had any takers:

I have the Breathless Illuminations cruise booked for Wed. 9/24. The boat carries 6 passengers. We are a party of 3 looking for another 3 to share the cruise.

Just so you know...
Seating would be 1 in front with Captain,
2 in the far back, fairly incommunicado with the rest of the party, and
3 in the middle seat.

The 4 in the front have an easier time talking to each other, and sharing snacks and such, but the 2 in the back have a more difficult time (although it is by far the more romantic seating!).

Just a consideration when sharing the Breathless with another party...especially a 3/3 division like that. Ideally, you'll find another couple, plus a solo traveler to share with. JMO.

Thanks for the tips on the seating arrangements!
Diana

Update: This cruise is now full!

Would love 3 spaces on any cruise at all, any date from August 19th - 28th inclusive. Pretty please. With chocolate on

how important is it to get the cruise with the audio feed?

 

[snowdrift7]

how important is it to get the cruise with the audio feed?

You only need the audio with the Wishes cruise and I think it's extremely important - because Wishes is such a special experience and the music combines with the fireworks to tell the story.

The illuminations cruises don't need audio because the music is played all throughout the world showcase and you're anchored under the bridge between France & the UK.

Enjoy your cruise! You will LOVE it.

I have 2 or 3 openings on an Illumination's cruise August 30th, leaving from the Yacht and Beach Club marina around 8 pm. My DH, DS23, DD20, DS17, myself and another adult couple are scheduled to be on board. Two others who were scheduled to go with us have had to cancel due to airline conflicts.
PM me if you are interested.
