- Embark on an adventure aboard the Emerald Princess Casino boat, set against the picturesque backdrop of a tranquil Jeckyll Island sign and a towering skyrise bridge. As patrons arrive, they're greeted by a somewhat secure parking area, with registration conveniently housed in a small trailer. For those preferring not to walk, a friendly staff member is on hand, shuttling guests to the ship on a golf cart.
Upon reaching the ship's entrance, another staff member warmly welcomes guests, conducting thorough security checks to ensure the safety of all passengers by screening for weapons and unauthorized items. It's recommended to dress warmly for the journey, as the ship's interior tends to be chilly, promising a refreshing escape from the heat of the day.
As the voyage begins, guests are informed that while they can play the slot machines immediately, winnings cannot be collected until the ship reaches a certain distance from the shore. Table games remain off-limits until the ship has traveled approximately an hour into the ocean. Guests are promptly invited to enjoy lunch, reminiscent of a high school cafeteria meal from the 80s. The food and atmosphere evoke nostalgia, with a charming throwback to an earlier era. Despite the retro vibes, the staff exude warmth and enthusiasm, clearly passionate about their roles. While the culinary experience may harken back to yesteryears, the genuine hospitality and dedication of the staff shine through.
The ship "IS" in need of an upgrade, with minor repairs and a deep cleaning long overdue. The morning's first run reveals the toll of time, with the bathrooms showing signs of neglect. One stall bears an out-of-order sign, while broken light fixtures cast a dim glow over the space. Trash litters the floor, and malfunctioning hand sanitizing machines add to the sense of disrepair.
The slot machines, resembling relics of gaming history, harken back to the earliest days of casino entertainment. For those ready to try their luck, it's advisable to bring small bills, as the machines don't allow for easy cashing out and transferring funds between devices.
However, as the day progresses and funds dwindle, the limited entertainment options become apparent. With the top deck closed down and unavailable, guests find themselves congregating in the small, warmer area at the back of the ship. Here, amid the hum of the slot machines, passengers seek refuge from the monotony, longing for additional diversions to break up the journey.
Despite its current state, the Emerald Princess Casino boat holds the potential for a vibrant revival. With minor repairs and improvements, it could once again become a sought-after destination. Visiting at night may offer a more enchanting experience, as the darkness conceals the ship's imperfections and allows guests to focus on the entertainment at hand. With the addition of a DJ and spirits, the atmosphere could be transformed, captivating visitors and enhancing their experience.
