After I started the game Everything was In BLACK AND WHITE! also it would not let me move around anywhere besides that screen.
good game

I think it is a good game to have fun with, but one thing that dissapoints me is if you hit an icberg, Rock, run aground or get attacked by the giant squid your ship sinks right away. I would like it better if you could see the obstacle ahead, here a bump, grinding noise or something, inspect the damage and see the leaks, see the water flooding into the ship, seeing where the water is, seeing the ship slowly become submerged, see the list the ship has developed, maybe even have compartments with watertight doors and be able to stay afloat with the first two flooded, sound a siren, launch the lifeboats, see the completely flooded decks underwater, maybe even see the ship break in two when it sinks, give the order to abandon ship, see how deep the water is it has sunk in, send out SOS calls, see how much time there is before the ship sinks, explore the wreck later in a submersible. That would be way better if Cat daddy games made it that way. I would be so happy if they did!

Don't Embark on this Shipwreck of a Game

Now, don't get me wrong; the game has a great concept and will appeal to all cruise - vacation lovers immensely, which I, myself am. While the game did APPEAL to me and I desperetley wanted to take it for a spin, I quickly found it to be perhaps the most boring and pointless thing I spent my hard earned money on.
To start, the game offers you absoloutely no control over what the rooms look like. Unlike classic sims, such as Hotel Tycoon or The Sims, which give you every option to customize your rooms to your liking and make your dream come true, Cruise Ship Tycoon sadly doesn't. You simply pick the type of room you want, select one of the bleak, unoriginal and limited styles of the type of room previously highlighted and place the room down in an availabe area. You have no jurisdiction over anything, and all cruise ships you create become repetitive and boring. This adds to the limited replay value.
The game offers you three modes: Instant Action (which you can hardly call "action", as the game offers no action whatsoever and it will be over before you begin it), Challenge Mode and Career Mode. In Instant Action, you have the ability to experiment with the games limited controls and basic interface. Basically, you can build a cruise ship and sail it. Woop-De-Doo! In Challenge Mode the game throws at you a few missions with no "challenge". Thus, it's easy to breeze through these in no time at all. Sadly, I did not get to "Career Mode, becasue I was so bored with the product I couldn't get myself to play the whole game but I am sure I got the jist of it from the other two modes!
The only positive thing I can say about this game is that there are a nice variety of ports, and I was happy to see that it featured the island that I live on; Bermuda.
The game is basic. Basically bad. For a frequent cruiser, I should know what components would go into a great tycoon for this genre. Very dissapointing CatDaddy. You missed 90% of what elements would make an extremely memorable tycoon.
Fun Game 2006-05-03
This game is very, very fun game. One suggestion = before buying the game, e-mail or contact your computer company and ask them if the game will work with your computer. Otherwise, it is the funnest game I have every played. I could play it for hours and I wouldn't get board.

Cruise Ship Tycoon will challenge players to establish and run a mighty cruise ship empire. The entire fleet of cruise ships is in your hands -- take it from a single ship to a huge worldwide fleet that makes you a fortune!
Good and Bad 2005-08-17
When I first got this game in Wal Mart for $9.99, I was really excited about getting to build my own cruise ship. But when I started it up for the first time, I couldn't figure out even how to lower the decks. There is no tutorial so you have to figure out how to play on your own. The guests always find ways to make your cruise ship seem bad. You have to build 1000 rooms to get 1000 people on board your cruise ship. Buy this game if you are interested in a challenge.
Not a great game 2004-12-28
Hi, I bought this game and when in Instant Action Mode I started out with the smallest ship. I now have over 300,000 in cash and no way to upgrade my ship. All my decks are packed ! I can't possibly place anything else. Basically there is no where left for me to go except to start a new game with a bigger ship. Totally stupid, there should be a way to upgrade your ship in Instant Action mode. I don't suggest buying this game for that reason.
Great Game...A Little Funky Though 2004-11-16
This game is great. I bought it because I have taken 5 cruises and would like to build one. The routes are cool and the game is easy to get a hold of. One problem is that the same music is playing almost the whole game and whe you buy a new ship the old one goes away. I reccomend this game to everybody.
Complete waste of money 2004-08-20
I can't get this game to run. It installed fine and then I keep getting error messages that the game has caused an error and will shut down. I have been to other sites and many people have this and other problems. What a waste of money!!!!
