The Badger and the Lake Express are two vastly different craft doing the same thing. You could probably put the LE inside the Badger.
Where else can you take a coal fired steam ship?
Nowhere. It is the last one in the country.

All the advice about being early and tie downs is true. There are no staterooms. There is a big open seating area, the business class area where you get a table and a softer chair, and the outside. You are not allowed back to the cargo area to check your bike. The ride is awesome IMO! It is a high speed lightweight (relatively speaking) craft, and once out of the harbor IT ROCKS!. The best thing about it is you don't have to ride through Chicago! When you get to Milwaukee you are literally a few hundred feet from the freeway out of town.
