Grand 1 Yacht

[Milpston]

Has anyone ever done a cruise on this?

If you have can you tell me what snacks and soft drinks were included? Can you take your own drinks? (doubtful)

Did you do private dining and if so what were the options and rough costs?

Was it worth it?

Just trying to find a bit more information as it's limited on the WDW website. I can feel a mad moment coming on but not really too near my 180 day mark yet.

Thank you

[Miss AliJS]

We did this 2 years ago and it was wonderful. There are no snacks/drinks included on this one (although there was couple of cans of diet coke in fridge that we had). It is a pity as there is free snacks/drinks on the smaller boats. No, sadly you can't take your own on board. We didn't do any private dining as had already bust the budget! There were 13 of us and space for everyone to relax and enjoy the fireworks.

This was the menu that you could pre order from 2 years ago so prices will have risen since then but will give you rough idea-

Ah ok. I read on the website Grand 1 yacht starts at $399 an hour which I thought was ridiculously cheap. Was thinking still a bargain at $600. At $ 850 I may have to see if I can find another family that fancies sharing

There is a thread on the Dibb somewhere where you can try to join up with another family for cruise. Not sure where it is but sure someone will come along who knows.
