Sea Escape cruise ship heads to auction block

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A federal judge placed a cruise ship seized from troubled Sea Escape on the auction block Tuesday.

Up for sale is the "Island Adventure," an entertainment gaming boat that operated out of Port Everglades for about two decades.

The government took hold of the large vessel in August following allegations against the company of unpaid wages by crew members and debts of more than $2 million.
