You can clearly see how close to the slots she is. I attached only one picture here of one person asleep near the bathroom. If the company's PR person answers this post, I'll be happy to share the pictures I took. It was NOTHING like this experience, which more closely resembled an evening at the homeless shelter where I volunteer. I have taken these types of short gambling cruises before and I actually planned one outing for our office Christmas party.

Overall a dismal experience, and a depressing one at that.

We kept to the slots and mostly amused our Facebook friends with real time posts and pictures of the never ending 'surprises'. The gambling tables were pretty empty, except for a few shady looking folks we would not have gambled with. We were relegated to 'Canada House' Whisky and some no-name rum. Options? None, other than one 'Value' brand for a handful of spirits. She actually said to us she had never heard of those brands and we walked over with her to the 'bar' to see what our options were. We initially asked her for Markers Mark and ginger ale and a Bacardi and Diet coke. There was only one cocktail waitress for the entire cruise. We at least expected a decent bar(since we expected to pay for the drinks) and what we found was a dingy concession type counter only on the main level. The staff overlooked these people as if this was a regular occurrence. Indeed, I took pictures of women and men asleep in corners and elevated niches near the bathrooms(which reeked from the stench.) They remained there during departure and throughout the trip, passed out. What we didn't expect was a shabby and unwashed crowd of locals(we assume locals since we went mid-week and none of these people looked like tourists.) We arrived early and watched people board this vessel, some of these people looked homeless. We expected the typical gambling tourist trade, a bus or two of retirees, etc. The FAQ's on the website said to dress as you would for a nice evening out, so we went in our resort casual best(tailored bermudas, nice top). We also expected the smoking and the captive experience of being there to gamble only. Going in, we knew that for the $10 fare, we were not there for the food, and indeed, the food was the poorest of worst cafeteria slop. We read the reviews and also read the website's FAQs. After the weekend crowds left, we looked into going on this cruise mid-week. We were staying the entire week beginning Labor Day weekend in St.
