My wife and I went on the ship this last Friday and it turned out to be a very rough uncomfortable ride. Everywhere we looked people were vomiting including the buffet room so needless to say we didn't eat there. Not sure what was wrong with the air conditioning system but it was so hot on the boat it made things even worse. It got really bad and my wife starting succumbing to the rolling of the boat and I made my way to the Players Club on the lower deck to just ask about any motion sickness pills. A gentleman sitting at a computer was rude, treated me like a 3rd class citizen, didn't offer any help, so I made my way back to my wife. About that time a female officer noticed my wife leaning against the machine and stopped to ask if she could be of assistance. Capt De went and got my wife some ginger ale and some crackers and this helped her considerably. She also had a lady who apparently worked keeping the room and restrooms clean checking on my wife and it seemed every 15 minutes or so Capt De would walk by and speak with us and others. The casino itself wasn't bad but the restrooms were awful, not filthy, seemed like there was always a guy or gal in there cleaning after all the sick people but the smell in the men's room about knocked you over and the overall condition of the sinks, countertops, etc looked like something you might find in a 50 year old trailer park. The M Casino was a much nicer and definitely cleaner ship but the crew on Aquasino were much nicer including the gals dealing blackjacks. Too bad someone can't combine the two.
Do not waste your money. The only decent area was Texas Hold'Em and even then, the house takes a steep rake. The food was not free, nor were the drinks. The BJ tables had 8 decks and a separate employee who "shuffled" the decks.
I took the cruise a couple weeks ago on new years day. For those of you who complain about the lack of time you should take the sun cruise the last sunday of the month it's an extended cruise so it lasts about 5 hours for gambling. Also the poker room was a poker room who cares if the tables look like they're from goodwill? there was lots of action and lots of loose players. if you're a decent player you'll make money playing 2-5 or 5-10. There were a decent amount of regulars, but none were exceptional players. As far as slots go, who cares? only an idiot plays slots! i will say i did notice the blackjack tables were tight and the house was usually dominating. The food was bad, but who cares when it's free? beggars can't be choosers. If you want great food, pretty lights and nice tables go to vegas. If you want to play poker against someone other than your boys then check this game out it's not bad.
