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

[Abby's Dad]

Does anyone know what can be booked food / drink wise? Are you able to get say some desserts and a bottle of wine?

When you book do they hold your card or is it charged same day?

1) When you book the cruise they take your credit card information, but it is not charged until you board - you complete payment then. But it will be charged something (I can't remember whether it is the full fare or just a no-show charge) if you do not show up or cancel within the time alotted.

2) You can get various foods, from full dinners to platters (desserts, subs, cheese and crackers), as well as I believe beer or wine through private dining. When you book the cruise the CM can give you the number.

Enjoy!

Anybody got space for three on an Illuminations cruise on Saturday, October 6th?

I am taking my mom to WDW for the very first time and would love to do an Illuminations Cruise. I did one in March and it is the only way to watch Illuminations. Any dates of September 16, 17, 18, or 19 would be great! Hope to hear from someon soon!

Still have room for 4 ADULTS for a Sept 19th Wishes cruise departing from the Polynesian at 8:30. Let me know. Thanks. I would love to share.

We arrive that day and I had scheduled us to watch Wishes in MK but I thought the time was 8pm? Are they doing a later show that you are viewing on your cruise??

Would love to do one on our first night there but didnt think I'd manage it because of the times?

Oh my goodness you are correct. My cruise leaves at 7:30. If you can make it I still have 2 adult spots. Thanks for catching that. I need to PM a few people and correct my mistake.

We are looking for a boat crew to join for either MK fireworks or Illuminations. We have two adults and 2 children. We would really like the night of Oct. 14 but could also do the 15th or 16th. We have done the Illuminations twice in past years and really enjoyed it. It is sure a neat experience to see and hear everything from the water view. We have always shared a boat and it worked out really well. The captains of the boats have always been really fun. Just a great experience.

email me at klooman@charter.net

Thanks so much!

I know this is last minute, but if anyone has room for 1 adult and 3 children for August 1st, please PM me. Kids are 11, 9 and 7 and we are going on a "spur of the moment" trip for the turning 9 year-olds birthday.

TIA

Why isn't there a cruise central for October? (& the other months)

Would love to see a cruise central for August and September- it would make it so much easier than reading over 100 pages !

Chronologic order - the highest numbered posts are the most recent, and probably are in the ballpark of where you want to be. If you have a specific date and cruise that you are looking for, just post the dates you prefer, which cruise, and how many, and if somebody fits that, they will contact you. Likewise, if you have a cruise to post, post the date, the cruise, and how many you have room for. Works out great - but I can understand the feelings! I think it is just that this board is so large, and there are only so many moderators, that it is difficult to maintain separate lists.

I agree that finding cruises can be time consuming. I just created a thread for September Fireworks Cruises.

If you're looking for a cruise or have extra room for people in September, post here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1521852

hope this helps!

Looking for a cruise on Saturday 10/13 for six adults. I spaced out and totally forgot to call last weekend to try to get one

 

[Jletendre]

I got the 07 dining selections but no prices .. for those who have done a cruise before any idea on the price range for platters and bottles of wine?

 

[mnmhouston]

Do you still have 4 spots available for Wishes 9/10?

 

[mnmhouston]

Just wanted to post again. We have 4 spots left for the Wishes (w/audio) cruise we have booked for Sept 10th. I will post again in later because I know how many pages there are and I find they are too much to read.

Can you please tell me if you still have this available? I have 3 people.
