Community Insight:
The ships you have to add to this game is Celebrity Beyond Celebrity Ascent Wonder Of The Seas oh and also this sim every version just gets worse and worse.
Love the simulation, super realistic, and love the approaches when docking. Would love to see an update with some newer ships, maybe some oasis class royal ships, Star and Icon of the seas, MSC world America, etc.
We liked it when they had the Aida. Why did they get rid of them.
Love this so much! Although the lifeboats should deploy automatically when sinking.
The game is AMAZING but we are a huge fan of Disney cruise line we have been on multiple Disney cruises but we want to feel what it feels like to sail the Disney ships. But the one ship we have not been on yet is the Disney treasure so please especially ad the treasure.
Great but could be so much better! We would want to see other or larger ships.
Could you pls add the Disney treasure to the game with working horns please, we LOVE THE GAME THOUGH!!! Also, could you add horns that are the ships own horn, but still what a very fun game.
Please add the titanic and britannic.
Please add Disney cruise ships ,Rapsody of the seas ,and 30 more ships.
But we think you should add the wish Disney with working horns.
We love this game but we would love routing cruises and it needs more ships like carnaval celebration , icon of the seas, carnaval horizon and working lifeboats, boarding, multiplayer, crew walking around same for the passengers.otherwise the game is AMAZING.
Good game but definitely needs more and bigger ships. We have played everything until it is almost boring.
Can you add a free play mode and the following ships 1: costa Concordia 2: ms Estonia 3: symphony of the seas.
The game is suuuuuper fun but can u add the msc seaside and more ships like the Poseidon from 2006 and 2005 and the msc fantasia also the msc bellisima pls we LOVE THE GAME ITS SO FUN we JUST CANT!!!!!!!! Also add some sinking scenarios that people can pick like capsize from wave&just capsizing with nothing also add harmony of the seas too! Love the game baaaaiiii.
Best cruise ship game and potentially the best.
If this game had passengers or the lifeboats actually deployed from the sinking ships It would be a lot better.
Can you add queen mary 2 for the new update please and add working lifeboats please.
We love this game, because it is easy and much fun to play.
Can you add a carnival cruise ship pls for the next update otherwise the game is great thanks fo making this game.
This app is growing well, loving the updates lately! We think it may be beneficial to add real life ports like Port Canaveral, Skagway, Vancouver, ect. Another thing that could use an update in the future is the water graphics, which are great, but we feel like seeing a physical wake would be a major improvement! Love how there is a new ship added almost monthly, and hope it continues to grow!! Having the bow and stern thrusters connected like the main propellers would be super beneficial as well in a future update! Please keep up the good work!! Look forward to this apps promising future.
The game is good but you have to add a new thing. You have to make a control so that on Quantum of the seas, North Star can operate.
Please consider too make more boats like carnival Norwegian Disney icon of the seas or oasis ships or carnival paradise -thank you.
We like this game, but it would be a lot better if the next update has features like passengers and crew members walking around the ship, lifeboats that can be deployed if the ship is sinking and the ability to call in rescue vessels and rescue helicopters. Add food and drinks being served, passengers having fun and the ships crew members working.
Its a fun game but pls add more ships.
Also make people walking around and working life boats pls.
Its the same as previous title with different ships.
This sim is essentially the same as the previous simulator with a focus on cruise ships. Im looking forward to seeing what ships are going to be added next. As a suggestion it would be nice to see real life ports implemented into this simulator. Performance seems to be the same as the previous sim.
