Did two summers in the 70's...1 hour at each of 6 meal settings. Exact same trip, to the minute, week after week....BORING as HELL!
Did it for a guy from Lexington who has bee doing it for over 30 years....45 weeks a year. He has an old motor home at the site and drives from Miami to Lexington, rehabs the vehicle and heads back. He stays on the motor home when he's in port.
Can't remember, but if you stayed in regular workers quarters (there were options with better accommodations and less money), it wasn't a bad way to spend the summer as a college kid.
Met several nice ladies, too! Almost got thrown off the boat for that little diversion.
