Bahamas-flagged Pacific Star–the West Coast’s only one-day cruise ship. The boat sailed from San Diego’s Cruise Ship Terminal on a 13-hour cruise to Ensenada for 2 1/2 hours of touring and shopping, then back to San Diego at 10:30 that night.
Newspaper ads for the “one day, fun day cruise,” offered weekdays and weekends by San Diego-based Starlite Cruises, promised “three fabulous buffet meals,” full casino action, sun deck, hot tubs, sports bar, Vegas-style shows, live music and duty-free shopping on board.
The Diamond Lil’s Casino had 150 slot machines, the video poker machines, craps table, roulette wheel, six blackjack tables and two Caribbean-style stud poker tables.
