The Aransas Queen got horrible reviews from what I understand, poor levels of service, HVAC was apparently not up to par so the boat was always hot and humid, and because it was a smaller boat many people would get ill when visiting. I've done some research on this casino boat but also have family members that had some time there. Maybe someone else from the So. Texas area can chime in here.
I love the $500's too! GLWS!
