Take the challenge of managing a cruise ship! Maintain your vessel, plan your route, and sell tickets to the wealthiest passengers. Give tasks to your crew and keep their morale high. Choose the ship's layout and the offered amenities. Keep the prices right, passengers happy, and your wallet full!
Ahoy, shipowners!
We have noticed, also by checking your feedback (many thanks!), that some secondary mechanics and options in the prologue might not be obvious at first glance. So we have gathered all the useful things that we felt were unnoticed by some of the players and compiled them as tips for you to use!

[b]1. You can change the color and interior variation of the passenger's cabins
[/b]
By using the numbered buttons under the name of the cabin option in Build Mode you can change the color and the arrangement of the room. You have three color versions (blue, green, and red) and two arrangement types to choose from for each cabin!

[b]2. The club can be used as a stairway
[/b]
Two-story rooms - in the case of the prologue, our stylish disco - allow you to move between the decks the same way as a stairway. So you can save money on one set of stairs by using the disco as a way for passengers to reach the upper deck.

[b]3. You can upgrade rooms in the Build Mode[/b]
Most of the rooms available in the game - cabins, services, and entertainment alike - can be upgraded to better quality, up to five stars. You upgrade them by half star at a time using the star icon next to the Sell rooms and Sell all rooms buttons. Of course, the upgrade has its sometimes hefty cost, so mind the budget. In addition to the quality upgrade, the durability of the items increases. On the downside, the upgraded room will use up more fuel and possibly also more supplies.

[b]4. You can assign tasks to the crew on pause[/b]
In the down left corner of the screen, above Management and Passengers buttons, you have a speed menu. Thanks to it you can speed up the gameplay of the Cruise part of the game up even to x8. But the same menu has also a pause button, which is pretty useful. It is active, which means that you can assign tasks freely when paused. So if there is too much happening to manage it, just hit the pause and do everything in your tempo.

[b]5. People sent out to do tasks will go back to their posts when finished
[/b]
Afraid to send the cook, the DJ, or even the captain to a nearby emergency? Worried that you will have to assign them to their post again afterward? While making them leave posts may be not optimal, don't worry about using them to clean, extinguish flames, or make quick repairs. When they are finished with such a task, they automatically get back to the posts you assigned to them in the Management menu.
