Summary: Ok Most people think this is a horrible game....
Review: When I got this game as a present I thought OH awesome...BUT WHEN YOU START BUILDING THE ROOMS...YOU HAVE TO DO THEM ONE AT A TIME (UNKLINE ZOO TYCOON WHERE YOUR BUILING A FENCE AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK OVER AND OVER TO BUILD ONE) On this for each tiny room you have to click on the bar click on the rooms and click on the room you choose to buy! It takes like 15 seconds to do that alone and then you have to do that about 25 times to fill up a deck. The Game itself is OK I mean you get to stir the boat and look at he craxy people on board and even throw em' over board if you don't like em'! There is another horrible thing You loose your monry really Fast You started loosing a ton of money just buy building rooms... I personally would not reccommend this. unless you don't care about money, time, or stuff, I olay this game when I am bored....

Summary: Worth the price... and nothing more
Review: Yet another budget tycoon game. But since this is my favourite genre I went out and bought it.
The game has a nice (though simplistic) interface that would have left a good impression - if I was 8 years old. Besides its interface simplicity, the graphics work out fine as long as you keep in mind that we are talking about a budget tycoon game.
The gameplay starts out as fun: build rooms and facilities for your guests and crew, sail out and watch the little people interact with the facilities and with each other.
But that's where all the fun ends!
There are limited building options and no real issues that need your attention during the cruise. Remember how (since Theme Hospital and Sim Tower) there's an issue that very frequently needs your attention in Tycoon type games? From a traffic jam, to a little persion misbehaving, to an opponent buying somthing you need, to adding more elevators?
Well there are things like that happening, but build a new janitor room, hire 2-3 extra janitors... and that's it! Problem solved! Oh, and don't worry about the costs... I can't seem to find a way to increase my expenses proportionally to my income... My next try will be to replace ALL guest rooms with Health Centers (fully staffed)!
As for the competition, your opponents are nothing more than a single line with the size of their ships and their income. "Linear, simplistic and uninspiring" is actually a compliment for the game's storyboard...and that's about it! All in all, if you're a tycoon buff like me and have to own and try ALL the tycoon games out, it's a good bargain.
If you're new into tycoon games, below the age of 12 and desperately want to try something simple, try it.
If you don't belong to the above categories, look around for other tycoon/simulation titles. PS. I didn't forget the Sound... The developers obviously did.
