Illuminations/ Wishes Cruise Central For January & February

[west&east]

Hi,
There are lots of us looking to share cruises for January and February but there has not been a thread starting for it. There is a faq thread about the cruises (mostly about Illuminations but it covers Wishes, too) located here: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=560160 That thread has links for March through December but no January and February. The thread also has out of date info about the cost of the cruises.

Hopefully, a moderator can edit the first post on that thread to provide a link to this one. The original moderator and later editors of the thread appear to be inactive. (if anyone out there can help, please let me know!)

If you would like to share an ILLUMINATIONS or WISHES cruise for Jan or Feb, please post here.

When you post your reply, use the subject box to tell whether you need space (and how many you need) on a cruise or if you have space available and include the dates and type of cruise. I think that might make it a little easier to coordinate a match.

If you would like more information about the types of cruises and the updated costs, check out this link:

We have a premium cruise reserved for January 15. We are 4 people and the boat holds 10. Cost is $350 and will be split by the number of people. If you are interrested, PM me!

Keep in mind that the prices listed in that thread are woefully out of date, have not been updated in several years. Just an FYI.

You are right, Dan. I just tweaked my op to note that.

If anyone has two spots for DH and myself on either 1/8 or 1/10 we'd be interested. Thanks!

if anyone has a spare two seats during these dates, let us know. very friendly couple here would love to share an illuminations cruise..

DH and I may possibly intrested in WISHes on Jan. 8. I think it may depend on the price...

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think if you do the Deluxe, which includes the Audio, it holds 10 people and so it comes down to like $30ish per person?

I thought that cast members could not except tips or am I mistaken?

That is a great question. On the other threads, there have been several comments about tipping the driver. Perhaps someone else will comment on this.

Does anyone have room on an Illuminations Cruise for 1 adult and 1 child (aged 11 years)?

 

[DisneyLifer87]

[raven0855]

My boyfriend and I are interested in doing a Wishes cruise the same nights you are there. We can only make it within budget though if we have at least 6 people. Here's hoping for some others within our dates

I just did the Illuminations cruise last week and our driver accepted a tip.
