researching an "ESCAPADE" chip (roulette I guess) that was offered on eBay. I won the bid and have the chip. This ship was, as I recall, a SUN CRUZ vessel (SUN CRUZ VI perhaps), and maybe DIAMOND ROYALE at Port Canaveral. Canaveral sticks in my mind as a port. Ship was moved about every year or so, there were some interim owners who were involved only for a few months. Not sure if any chips for those brief time periods. Debts mounted. Eventually the ship was seized by Federal marshals for unpaid debts and offered for sale for scrap value. Somebody in North Carolina got it for some paltry amount like $100,000, and where the ship (and the chips) are now is anyone's guess.
