great crew. nice time.
The operation of the Lake Michigan Carferry's S.S. Badger was smooth from start to finish! All of the crew and staff were friendly and accommodating! But although it is a National Historic Landmark, I was disappointed to learn that the S.S. Badger is a coal-fired steam ship. Upon seeing the black smoke belching from the stack, I originally thought it was diesel-powered vessel. Don't like the air pollution, but do like the convenience of avoiding the traffic congestion in Chicago.
Been on it several times when we lived in Two Rivers, WI.
RecommendedFirst the novelty of a cruise ship atmosphere. Second the price is right. Third it saves a lot of energy in my trip from Detroit to Minneapolis.
Historical ride. Big ship, more fun. Badger bingo.
Husband Dean rode opening day and got a stateroom. He rode over and back from Ludington. He said the crew was excited, happy, cordial. The food was wonderful, the stateroom was comfortable (needed warmer blanket, cold day), Captain Jeff is a joy and so proud of his historical ship. Great way to spend a whole day on Lake Michigan. A tribute to all who have kept this landmark ship in service, this one of a kind, authentic steam powered passenger ship, the only one in North America.
