I just wanted to let everyone know that we went on the new Breathless on Aug. 28. It was awesome!!!!!

Right now Aaron is the only driver (he is training more drivers). He was wonderful. My dh sat up front with him and they talked and talked like they were old friends. My 2 daughters and I sat in the middle seat and it was a good fit for 3.

They claim the Breathless can hold 7, but it would be a tight squeeze if you ask me. You can comfortably get 1 other adult in the front and up to 3 people in the middle seat. Then the engine is in the back of that middle seat and there is another small seat in back, which I personally think would be ideal for a romantic couple.

They claim you could get 3 in the back seat, but unless they were tiny people, I think it would get uncomfortable.

Plus whoever sits in the way back cannot talk to or reach the others in the party (so no sharing snacks ).

The cost was $275 plus we tipped $50. It was an expensive treat, but to me, worth it for a one time thing.

The view of Illuminations was awesome!

If you have any questions, let me know.

Also, my dd15 is not home and I am incapable of posting pictures without her so I will try to post some later as we took tons!

Hello all! DH and I are looking for an illuminations cruise. DH has never seen illuminations, and the cruise would make it spectacular!

We're well-behaved, and would love to join up with some fellow DISers!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for posting, we have a cruise booked for Oct.11th which is also our 10th anniversary. I'm looking forward to it!! Did you bring anything with you? I've heard mixed reports about people being able to bring champagne with them on the boat. Also, I can't wait to see more pics!

 

[GirlsTripOct07]

I am looking for an Illuminations cruise for any date between Oct 4-10. There are 2 adults and 3 extremely well behaved girls 2.5-10y.o.

Please PM me if you have anything you would like to share!

I know, I know, I should have started this a long time ago.

 

[sarcasticblonde]

I'm sure this is a long shot, but does anyone have space for 2 adults in their October 2nd Illuminations cruise? It would be for my fiance and I.

Hi,

We are a South African family of four looking to share an Illuminations Cruise on 7 December 2007.

We phoned and lucked out and would really enjoy a cruise

 

[odd1]

Anyone have space for two on a cruise 11/3-9?? Anyone? Any cruise??

We didn't try to bring anything, but I did overhear a conversation between the cm who organizes all the boats and another guest asking that question. The cm looked at his watch and said you have about 30 minutes and yes you can bring any other beverages onboard if you'd like.

The Breathless was less "formal" than the other boats I felt as Aaron is very down to earth and it is less people. I cannot see why you wouldn't be able to.

Have a great time!!!

We still have 5 spaces available on our cruise if anyone is interested please let me know - should be a very beautiful/magical evening!!

Does anyone have room for 3 adults on their Illuminations cruise on Thursday, Nov. 29th? We have never gotten a great spot to view Illuminations and this sounds like the perfect answer as well as a special experience. We will be leaving the Candle Light Processional and then can scoot right over to meet up with your party.

Anyone Have room on a illuminations cruise 12-2 to 12-14 for a family of 4

HI...we have a WISHES Birthday Cruise planned , on a night that the MK is having MVMCP---so we were asked if we wanted the 6PM cruise or the 9:30 one for the SPECIAL fireworks they have for the MVMCP...my question is--are the 6 pm fireworks the reg WISHES ones,,,and at the 9:30 ones is it still the WISHES music piped in the boat? I know these may be the perimeter fireworks they do at MVMCP..but i do not remember if it is the WISHES sound track,,Thanks so much. ALSO does anyone have a PIC of the BIRTHDAY BOAT??

And as a mom to 3 DD vets and 3 DSIL active duty/vets (4 of whom have served in the middle east so far), I, too thank you very much. It is a kind and thoughtful gesture to say the least.
