Had a wonderful time. Every one was soooo nice. Food was great. Slots weren't too good to me, but I did see some people hit big. Did get a little sea sick. Only one thing that did disappoint me was that I wasn't told before hand that you couldn't bring any cameras, video cameras, nail clippers. etc. Just like airport secruity which is good but we should have been told before hand so we could leave these items in our hotel. HAD A GREAT TIME WOULD DO IT AGAIN!

I've been on the SunCruz Casino boat in Daytona Beach, FL before, so I thought I'd try this one as well. There are two fees for this cruise -- $10 cruise fee and $10 port tax. The port tax is mandatory, but there are coupons around Myrtle Beach for free cruise that can get you out of the $10 cruise fee. You can also cruise for free if you've previously joined the player's club. I joined the Player's Club in Daytona, and was told over the phone that I would not have to pay the cruise fee because of this. However, when I got to the ship, they could not find me in the system. It turns out the two systems are not linked, so I had to pay the fee. I did ask about getting a free buffet and the lady said that since I was a first time Myrtle Beach cruiser, I could get this -- so all was not lost. The buffet is nothing to write home over, and it's one trip through the line. I would compare it more to your grade school cafeteria type of meal.

It takes the boat about an hour to get to international waters. So, eating the buffet was a good way to kill some time. When the casino opened, I took a little time to examine things around the ship before playing. One thing I was impressed with was they had low limit table games -- multiple tables of $5 blackjack and other games. After taking things in, I headed upstairs to the poker room.

There were 3 tables of 11 players each. They were playing 2/5 no limit and 5/10 limit. These minimums were a little higher than what I was expecting. I had to join a waiting list, but was seated within about 10-15 minutes. I sat down at 2/5 no limit. The table was pretty loose and hyper aggressive. Average pre-flop raise was about $25. On my 3rd hand after sitting down at the table, I was ready to join the action. After the flop, one guy bet $175. Everybody folded until it got around to me. I had a decent hand, but needed to think about whether or not to call. The dealer (an older man) gave me literally about 30 seconds before telling me the action was to me, and I acknowledged. He gave me another 30 seconds of letting me know i needed to make a decision about every 10 seconds. Then, he started counting me down -- 10...9...8 all the way to 1 and said "hand's dead". I did not appreciate this at all. That is a lot of money to call, and he didn't give me time to think about it. There were no players trying to hurry things along. I did not enjoy my gaming experience about this ship at all. Maybe I'd recommend blackjack and not poker.

Something else I noticed after I left the poker table was a large number of people sitting outside who were out of money. It was only about 2 hours into a 5 hour cruise. So, maybe the slots are pretty tight?

SunCruz casino boat Myrtle beach review 11/03/07

SunCruz casino offers a shuttle service from area hotel if you call and make a reservation. I called and made a shuttle reservation a few days prior to my arrival in little river. I also called a few hours before the 7:00 boat departure to confirm my shuttle pick-up. Well the shuttle never showed up and I had to rush to the boat dock and barely made it on.

Once on the boat you might think about going to the buffet, besides it will take one hour before you can start gaming. However whatever you do don’t pay $10 for this food, Its simply not worth it. The buffet it not all-you-can eat and the selection in very limited and the pasta I had was not very good.

Slot machines are of course everywhere, but table games are limited with the exception of blackjack. There are only two roulette tables so I could not play roulette during the trip because it was always full.

The waitresses do a great job of getting free drinks for everyone who is gambling. When I was in Las Vegas I didn’t get anywhere near as many free drinks. Please tip the girls at least one dollar, they work hard.

Excellent Tip : Go downstairs to the first floor bar area about 11:30- 11:45pm (evening Cruz) and order a burger or sandwich to eat on the ride back.

Suncruz casino is no Caesar Palace, so don’t expect great food or a fancy boat with upscale atmosphere but it gets the job done.

Pros: Plenty of slots, lots of free drinks if you're gambling. Good midnight snack

Cons: Bad buffet, boat gets really hot and needs better ventilation to keep the non-smokers alive.
