Yikes! Going to try to plan an Illuminations cruise at the last minute? Questions?

First, does anyone have the phone#. Also, can you see Illuminations really well? Can you also see the countries lit up, etc? Was it worth the money? It's a surprise for my mom's birthday but probably won't happen because it is very last minute! I'm going to try for Saturday, November 29th!

GOOD LUCK!!! You may make out better than you think, with a last minute cancellation from someone.

Sorry, no words of advice.

I have done Illuminations twice before. You can see everything. I got it through concierge at the last minute last year. Keep trying up until the day of because you never know. Also if you get the res early you can request a birthday theme. I am not sure for how much. We brought a bottle of wine with our own cups and had a great time. Good Luck.

We did an Illuminations Cruise last month.

Definately worth the money. I would have paid twice what we paid. We enjoyed ourselves so much I wanted to take a few more while we were there but we didn't have the time.

We were able to get a cruise on a few hours notice but we were staying concierge. We also canceled a cruise on our arrival day because we knew we would be late. We gave them 24 hours notice. I'm sure someone was able to use that time. People cancel all the time so just keep trying.

It never hurts to walk out to the Marina around cruise time either because sometimes people don't show up.

The view could not have been better!

Keep in mind that there are only 5 boats that go each night. 4 pontoons and the Breathless. These boats sell out just as fast as Cindy's. We were trying to get 2 boats for a DIS meet on NOv 17 because we had too many people for one boat. My DH and I were on separate phones, he got an operator probably a minute before I did and by the time I got an operator, the boats were all gone. No one else for our group was able to get one either.

Not trying to rain on your parade, just don't want you counting on it when it really isn't a sure thing at all.
