In the unbelievable world of abandoned buildings and retail stores closing left and right, no place is safe these days from massive corporations and companies closing their doors for good, and this massive casino cruise ship is no exception. In this episode, I'll gain access to the inside and show you what's left behind.

So I hear there's this massive casino cruise ship in an abandoned boat graveyard, and I should be approaching it soon. It's one of the largest abandoned casino cruise in america and I cant wait to bring you along inside.

Retired captain here. They will have shore power hooked up to at the very least run the bilge pumps. If bilge pumps don’t run that vessel would sink within a matter of weeks or months. The light you saw down in the engine room is for whomever does occasional maintenance of the vessel. Even if it’s just the harbormaster someone enters that vessel regularly to check on the bilge pumps.

Someone is obviously maintaining the generator as the fuel filter was last changed in August 2023 at 662 hours. When you showed the control panel for it, the hours had gone up again to 667 so it had obviously ran for 5 hours between August 2023 and present day

I rebuilt the Starboard main engine on that ship in May 2014 when it was operating out of the port of Palm Beach and it was named Island Breaze. My Freind was captain on the vessel for 2 years. Then the company who leased the ship went bankrupt. It was a dry lease charter so it went back to NURMI who owned the vessel. Then the vessel was released to a new venture. The port engine then failed shortly after. That is why the sailing was delayed. Then 2 new MTU 4000 series engines were installed in Jacksonville. The boat returned to Palm Beach and then that venture went bankrupt shortly after.

This is the old Suncruz Casino Boat I worked on in Hollywood Florida back in 2002 she was called the Swath she would go out of the port of Fort Lauderdale a cruise would last around five hours and when the Hard Rock Casino opened up they moved her to Key West and that was the last time I saw her lots of good memories on that ship, its sad to see her in this state. Thanks for posting the video.

Apparently Blue Horizon Casino Cruises stopped operating in 2016, because of a new Florida gambling agreement, which meant that land-based casinos were finally able to offer craps and roulette. This was something that only ships like Blue Horizon could do before that agreement.

Props to the CEO for paying the employees during down time.

Musta been dudes first time on casino boat and casino. Called playing chips “craps” and called poker tables “craps tables”. It shut down due to the fact Fla lifted restrictions on land base casinos

[mikebrown]

Management said the casino boat couldn't compete with new gambling rules in Florida that make more games available on land. The changes would allow land-based casinos to offer craps and roulette, something that was only previously allowed on Casino Ships. They spent $9 million fixing the boat when it was docked, plus another $1 million for employee salaries. The reviews are pretty horrible about the cruise experience when it was operational. The food in particular was reported as being terrible.

I was a engineer on her when sun cruz owned her the sun cruz 6 she was built in the early 2000s she was beautiful and ran great its sad to see her like that

It looks like they’re maintaining the power systems, though that oil filter has a recent date on it. Definitely not from eight years ago. Somebody is still trying to keep that thing mechanically in decent shape.

[SuperAgentman]

13:53 they must be maintaining the engine because the fuel filter has August 18 of 2023 and 662.5 hours on it. The oil filters have January 2, 2017 with 359 hours on it.

He said they have "Russian Roulette and all that good stuff" 😂😂

“Let’s go at night time” next scene it’s daytime?!

Out of all the abandoned stuff out there. Abandoned ships are my number 1 thing! That was really kool.

The 12V92 is one of the 3 gen sets on board. There is one on the port and the other on the starboard side. The boat has been laid up since 2016. All of those tables, galley equipment and slot machines were brand new when the ship was laid up due to 2nd bankruptcy.

Oh wow! Such nostalgia😊 this boat started its life as a casino boat for suncruz casino😊 it was called "the swath" the boat was designated "suncruz VII" and stationed in Jacksonville, florida..I went on this boat so many times..suncruz has purple walls which is why you see some purple on this boat😊 they used tokens back then..I took a $1 token as a souvenir😊👍 I seen other casino boats that I went on were sent to boat graveyard too unfortunately..just so sad..I see other possible old casino boats I been on near the swath..suncruz had 8 boats total running back in 90s

18:34 that’s the fuel distribution system you can tell by the red pipe that is connected into it. The engine you showed before was not the main power engine that drives a ship. That was the generator. There’s two other engines down below that are brand new.

Ok so 3-2 odds means if you bet $20 you will win $30 or $2 wins $3.

Those gold things with plexiglass are the covers they put over the chips on the table when it’s closed / not in use.

When playing roulette, the wheel spins counterclockwise then you spin the ball clockwise.

Those buttons on the slot machine is for the player to punch in their PIN number on their player’s card.

Blue horizon and Island Breeze were sister ships. They both operated in Florida and are now closed. Although Island Breeze was still open in 2022.
