1,800 people sitting down for dinner take up some room. Fortunately for those inclined in the metropolitan Detroit area, the best view along the waterfront is ON the water! Originally named Players Riverboat Casino II, the Detroit Princess Riverboat was built in Jennings Louisiana in 1993 for use as a gambling boat. Located on the Mississippi River in Metropolis, Illinois, the casino ran as a Merv Griffin establishment for a number of years.
The present docking situation for the Detroit Princess does not allow her shore power. As a result, her generators run constantly. The owners of the Detroit Princess were aware that the exhaust fumes from the generators were creating an unpleasant odor while customers were boarding the vessel. Not wanting unhappy clientele, they contacted the Diesel Fuel Doctor for recommendations for ways to reduce emissions. The installation of Algae-X in-line fuel conditioning units and a maintenance dose of AFC-705 fuel catalyst has dramatically reduced emissions related issues, reduced smoke and soot, and increased the efficiency of the engines and generators.
The Detroit Princess is available for both public and private cruises throughout the year. Schedules, rates, and information is available at www.detroitprincess.com, please call (877) DET-BOAT or (877) 338-2628.
