WAS THINKING ABOUT going there tommorrow, i went to their website and said that they would be going 24 hours a day all 4th of july weekend. Emailed Seth from high roller and he said he's allready finishing up the August/ September ISUUE allready. Looking forward to this mag, sounds right up my alley.
I think they had troubles and were grounded until Sunday morning, I'm going this Friday for sure, will give a trip report.
Best I could get on situation last weekend:

Port of St. Petersburg, Florida - The latest problems for The Ocean Jewel casino ship were cleared up on Saturday.
On Tuesday, the cruise line stopped operations, because two generators on board failed. The coast guard asked cruise officials to review their operating systems.
The coast guard spent hours inspecting The Ocean Jewel on Saturday.
Michael Hlavsa, Titan Cruise Lines CEO:
"It's unfortunate, but we're really here for the long term and once all these systems are fixed, then we are good to go."
The coast guard determined The Ocean Jewel was safe. The first shuttle leaves Sunday at 9:00 am.
