Here's the short of it from internet....."Commodore reached an agreement with the Sweden-based Wallenius Lines, who acquired the build contract of a half-complete ferry under construction at Wärtsilä Turku Shipyard in Finland. The ship in question had been ordered by the Sweden-based Lion Ferry as a combined ferry/cruise ship, but Lion Ferry had subsequently cancelled the order. Wallenius Lines named the incomplete ship MS Bohème and had her completed as cruise ship.[5] Following delivery the Bohème was chartered to Commodore,[2] and she set on her first cruise from Miami to Saint Thomas on 7 December 1968."
If you sailed from the Gulf Of Mexico from New Orleans to Florida, then it was Commodore operated ship.
And, yes they did have casinos and chips can be found on EBAY on a regular basis.
Commodore no longer sails cruise ships, but have diversified into a cargo-only shipping company.
Hope this helps.
