I tried on the Illuminations cruise but with the boat, being a boat , I could not be still enough for any of them to come out correctly. The Illuminations cruise you are very close to the action and have an unobstructed view.
In the Wishes cruise you are way back in the lagoon and have a fantastic distant view, and the music/sounds are played over the boats sound system.
I have a few pictures from the wishes cruise, nothing special, but you can get a feel for your location during the cruise.
Wishes is wonderful inside the park and from a cruise. A wishes cruise is also much easier to book than an Illuminations cruise.
Either way you take a bit of a risk with the weather. The Illuminations cruise does anchor underneath the International Gateway (which itself is used as one of the better viewing locations), providing some shelter.
