Before I leave for Coast guard bootcamp, I'll probably take about $600 with me on this local cruise ship, and take a shot at the 10-20 limit game.

I've never played there before, but I am pretty sure it's going to be full of drunks and total amateurs since it's the lowest limit they offer.

Do you all think it's going to play like a wild B&M 2-4/3-6 type game or more like money scared fish?

Should play a lot like a 3/6 B&M game.
I have never played on a cruise ship, but I know from my B&M experience that 10/20 plays about like 3/6 on Party.
Add the fact that this is the lowest limit, and you'll probably have a few more fish/maniacs in the mix.
I would be careful about that $600 number, tho. In a loose game you can lose that fast, though if you run good, its more than enough.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

that's the thing, the money I take with me there isn't going to phase me, for the next 7 months after boot camp starts, I'll have basically zero expenses other than entertainment

it all dependson where you are at. The 10/20 game at the home casino, where it was only the 2nd lowest level, was really good. Whereas the game at the other boat, where it was the 4th lowest level. All the real fish were at 2/4, 4/8, and 5/10. I think his game would be pretty good, but you are going to need more than $600 to sit in this game or be prepared to move down.
