I know this is a shot in the dark, but we were looking for a cruise to share anytime from Mar 19- Mar 24... Family of 4 myself, my mom, and 2 kids.

This may have been mentioned in one of the other 49 pages of this thread that I didn't read but how accurate is the price in the OP? I went on Allearsnet, and a price of $234.74 + tax was being quoted for the pontoon boats, not $150. That was really disappointing for us because we were going to rent a boat at the lower price but the Allears price is just too much. Which one is correct?

The higher price is correct unfortunately. I think the original post was written quite a while ago and hasn't been updated to reflect the price increase. The one I just booked ended up being $275 after tax.

That's really to bad. I was going to rent an entire boat for us at $150 but I can't afford the higher price and we don't particualarly want to share at this time.

I had a guidebook from 2004 that said the Illuminations cruise was about $120. I thought that seemed like a bargain for your very own fireworks cruise. Honestly, I thought it was worth it to not have to fight the crowds after the show. I booked a cruise for this May, and I did not even think to ask what the price was. I don't know why I am surprised that the price has more than doubled in three years. We are celebrating my DS fifth birthday, and I think it will be worth the money. I hope it will be worth the money.

Carolinagal-
I am interested! We are a family of five.. Let me know if this will be ok and some details. Which specialty cruise do you have booked?

I got a cruise this morning!!

Does anyone know if you can request a certain boat driver or not? We did the cruise in 2005 and our driver was great, would love to have him again. I don't want them to think I'm crazy tho if I ask.......

Also, they said we got snacks. Does anyone know what is included? We didn't get anything the last time, except some awesome cake from a boat beside us, but it was ordered extra.

Thanks!

I keep reading conflicting posts so I hope somebody can answer my questions. I want to book a fireworks cruise for my DD's 5th birthday in October. I think their will be at least 11 adults plus my DD. Are their any boats that can accomodate a larger party?? I was looking at the Grand Yacht just because we will be staying at the GF and it says that it can hold 13 people. Does anyone know if you can get the audio/decorations for the Grand as well??

Thanks

The link for March 2007 for Illuminations Cruises thread is not listed on the first information page for this thread. Does it still exist? This is short notice, but we are looking for three seats for March 12 or 13. Thanks.

Does anyone know if the phone instructions in the original post are still accurate or have the menu options changed? I don't want to start dialing and end up in the wrong place!

Thanks!

I used 3, then 2, then enter your phone or reservation number followed by #, then 2 to skip the survey.

I sent you a PM

 

[Carolinagal]

Hi all -

The March board is gone, but we still have room for more. Please send a PM if interested

Moderators,
Can you change this sticky to include Wishes cruises in the title or add another sticky specifically for Wishes cruises? I am sure others (and myself)would be interested in sharing those cruises. I know some people post those type of requests on this board, but I think others would not look further into this thread because of the title not indicating Wishes specifically.

Just a thought. Thanks.

I have room for 4 more people on my 5/21 cruise. It is myself, my mother 59, dd 8 and ds 5, and a couple from the TGM boards. Price is $30 pp including tip for the captain. If you'd like to join us, PM me!

This was something I knew nothing about. I was able to book a cruise for the 28th of this month just this morning for my DH, DD, and DS's birthdays (all within the same week). Someone was obviously looking out for me!

Looking for space on an illuminations cruise on April 11th for 6 people.

Or if you have a cruise booked that you are going to cancel - I will happily take over the booking.
