Thats really sad, we stayed there about the same time ( give or take a few years ) and the rooms really needed renovated. Lobby was nice and its in a great location . We have an ES nearby in Destin Fl and its exactly the same shape.

amazed how so many people are freaking out about this Polka cruise. These thing occur all the time , one time on the QE2. William H Miller had a cruise group about the golden age of transatlantic cruising, would have loved to attend some of his lectures but it was closed to the general public. Another time there was a cruise group hosted by G Gordon Liddy, his talk were also closed to the public - got a good laugh when anyone under 40 was asking each other who this Liddy follow was .There is no way that there are going to be hundreds of accordions , there will be at most 5 polka bands so maybe the could be 5 accordions max. Most likely most or all of the music was be restricted events - otherwise it defeats the purpose of drumming up business for jimmy Sturr travel.

This Polka cruise was reasonably priced, just out of curiosity we priced next years Star Trek cruise ( also 7 day ) its was very expensive- at least twice the cost of similar cruise , would be fun but not at that price!

We booked this cruise because of the Polka bands, only Polka music in lower Alabama is via the internet. The performances in question are open only those that booked thru Jimmy Sturr travel..The only inconvenience others should experience is an occasionally closed public room.
