The food was actually really good and we enjoyed lunch. She checked frequently, kept drinks filled, offered to get more of anything we wanted. We were seated in Nikki's section and this young lady was a doll. We were impressed that it was a buffet, but they put the food on your plate for you so nothing was touched by anyone (they wore gloves). We decided to go during that time and enjoy lunch. The ship left at 11am and at 11:30, the slots were opened and tables as well. He was given $25.00 free play which was great. We played in the slot tournament ($10.00 each to enter) and my husband came in 3rd. We talked to the hostess and she said as long as you came down before 1pm, you could eat anytime. We were given a card for lunch (included with our groupon) and were not quite ready to eat yet. You can also smoke on the outside of deck 4 by the bar. Deck 1 and 4 are non smoking and deck 2-3 are smoking. We signed up for the slot tournament and checked out the boat. This is a nice touch and make you feel special too. When we walked on board, the crew were there clapping and welcoming us on board. I was impressed with security and appreciate it too. You do have to go through security and your purse is checked.
We proceeded to check in and we given everything we needed to board and directed to head to the boat. We drove to Port Canaveral and parked with no problem. We decided to take advantage of a Groupon and give the Victory Casino Cruise a try.
