The similar vessel Tuxedo Royale, ex Dover, is at Middlesborough. She is also used as a bar/nightclub. She doesn't bear close scrutiny and her machinery spaces are not pretty. There is lagging falling off all over the boiler room (presumably stiff with asbestos) and both main turbines have been opened up in the past and are not pretty.
