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

[jenniferhouston2]

On August 10, at 845am cst, we cancelled our fireworks cruise for August 18. This is the normal wishes cruise, but it goes out a little later since Wishes fireworks do not happen that night, but the Pirate and Princess fireworks do occur that night. Confused yet?

Anyway, there is now a boat open that night if anyone is looking.

We still have room for 3 people on our Illuminations Cruise on October 18th. PM me if you're interested. We'll be enjoying snacks, beverages and a birthday cake during our cruise!

Looking For Illumination Cruise For 10/5, For 3 Adults If Anyone Has Any Space Please Pm Me. This Would Be Such A Great Surprise For My Mom And Sister.

I Called This Morning Just To Check And See If Any Spots Open And They Said No. I Was So Bummed. So If Anyone Can Help Me I Will Be So Grateful.

90 days from when I want a cruise falls on a Sunday. Can I make reservations on a Sunday?

Yes.

Do you guys think from the breathless II pictures you can seat 7 people? They said 7, but it looks small to me. They said 4 in one seat and 3 in another.

I was thinking the same thing. I believe that would be a really tight fit unless you had some small children in the group.

Just out of curiosity, how much are the Breathless cruises as opposed to the Illuminations pontoon cruises? I know the prices on the first page aren't correct....

 

[blallred]

The Breathless II Illuminations cruises are $250 + tip.

The Breathless II Illuminations cruises are $250 + tip.

I was told 275.00 for my Oct. 20th Breathless II cruise.

 

[blallred]

That's weird. I made sure to have the CM tell me the price twice on the phone. Oh well, I don't really care either way. We are still going to do it. I can't wait!

 

[odhrty]

after looking at the pictures I was thinking my family of 4 would be OK if one of us sat next to the driver and then 3 behind them. Then we could offer the seat in the back for 2 people. But I really doubt 7 with the driver would be all that comfortable. Does anyone know its first day out? I'm interested in what the review is on the seating.

 

[Disney Debra]

Wow, thanks so much for that info.! I called and booked the Breathless II Illuminations Cruise for 9/28.

Have pm'd you in case you want to share (hopefully!)

 

[geomacey]

Just FYI ... The BreathlessII only runs Tuesday-Saturdays. I just tried to call and change our boat and the CM told me they didn't run on Sundays.
Oh well.... we still have the pontoon and for that I am very thankful!!

I have two spaces on a Wishes Cruise. November 5th, at 7:30, for 8:00 Wishes. Cost is $30 each person. Leaving from the Grand Floridian dock. PM me, I might not make it back here.

 

[Mimi Q]

We already have an Illuminations cruise but I am seriously thinking about trying to switch it to Breathless ... but I have a question... Isn't Breathless the one that people say since you sit so close to the water, you get all the smoke and you don't really get to see the fireworks??? Please help!
Thanks.

I have been on two of the original Breathless Illuminations cruises and one pontoon Illuminations cruise. I don't know what other folks reported, but we didn't get any more smoke than on the pontoon. I felt we had a good view as well. JMHO.

Just out of curiosity, how much are the Breathless cruises as opposed to the Illuminations pontoon cruises? I know the prices on the first page aren't correct....

I was told when I booked it that the Breathless II Illuminations Cruise would be $258.21 plus tax. That would make it approximately $275- plus the tip for the driver.
