### 3/5 — Good game

*2021-11-04, version 1.5.4*

Just wish you could see the ships location on the map. Also would love to be able to choose the colors for the ship

### 4/5 — The Game CRYING For A Sequel.

*2019-07-21, version 1.5.4*

This game is great. For those who want control over a cruise line, look no further. The game is a ton of fun trying to manage a successful cruise line, but there are a few problems I have, like the fact there are only so many ships. Why not some kind of Ship Class-based system? Also, updated menus and graphics would be appreciated. However, all these problems I listed here could be fixed with a sequel. There are EIGHT, count ‘em, 8 different AirTycoons, 2 HotelTycoons, and only ONE CruiseTycoon?! This game would flourish with a sequel released right here, right now! It would be great! And with more customization options, the game could easily become the new great ship app(And yes, I know ShipTycoon exists, but those are CARGO ships.).

### 4/5 — Needs More Ships, Logos, and customization

*2019-01-01, version 1.5.4*

The game is great however, when I began my game I was disappointed by the lack of logos. Plus, none of the logos make sense. I wish their was a feature to import your own logo from the internet. Also, It NEEDS more ships! For crying out loud I Have been on 2 of the ships they offer.
    Finally, I simply desire more options in customizing the ships. For example, customizing the Hallways, and ships “theme”.

### 3/5 — Update it to iOS 11

*2018-03-18, version 1.5.0*

Look it’s a good game alright, but you need to update this to iOS 11

### 2/5 — iOS 11

*2018-03-01, version 1.5.0*

When is this gonna be updated to work on iOS 11

### 5/5 — Great! Just Needs Updates...

*2017-07-22, version 1.5.0*

I love this app! It is very realistic. However, there are a few things I think need to be added. First of all, more control. You should be able to completely design exterior and interior of you ships, as well as rename them. Also, more customization with the company logo. One day, I hope for a multiplayer edition, where you compete against real players cruise lines, instead of fake ones. And on the map add ship logos so you can see where they are currently at or ported at. That would be cool! But either way, these is a great app, one of my favorites!

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Hat einiges an Potential...

*2016-12-02, version 1.5.0*

Ist zwar sehr einfach zu spielen und nach einiger Zeit fehlt dann doch die Herausforderung, aber es macht einfach mal Spaß! Ist für  Kreuzfahrtfans ein toller Zeitvertreib.

### 4/5 — Fun but desperately needs a update!

*2016-07-25, version 1.5.0*

The game is very fun, good graphics but basic -- but the options are very limited. The game needs more port options, ship types, additions to ships, room options, etc. a little disappointing for the money spent to download the game.

### 4/5 — Fun game, needs more polish

*2015-11-29, version 1.5.0*

I love cruises, and this game feed into that.  However, there are a few nagging items.  Routes go over land, big miss for me, took away some of the realism.  Lack of control on designing your own ship, would help in the replay factor.  Unable to rename ships, i want to move the name of my favorite ship to the new mega ship, and rename the old ship, unable to do so.  More options to control, entertainment types, maybe a disaster simulation to handle, something.  Needs more to give it replay value, so close to 5 stars here. Still recommend, hope they keep working on it or wow us with cruise tycoon 2.

### 2/5 — Overall A Good Game

*2015-10-26, version 1.5.0*

The game is a fun game.  The pictures shown are not quite the same.  It would be nice if there were goals to meet.  There is a MAJOR glitch as you cannot adjust the salary of the ships and the staff will go on strike and there is no way to fix or adjust the salaries.  So you lose the game or have so start a new one.  Very discouraging when you have invested so much time.  Because of this glitch I would not recommend investing money in this game.

### 3/5 — It's ok but I'm not playing in till this git updates

*2015-10-12, version 1.5.0*

I WANT 1,000,000,000 updates!!

### 4/5 — It's okay

*2015-09-19, version 1.5.0*

When I was playing the game last night in English it was absolutely fine the next morning I wake up to going on the app and I start to play and it's all in German could I have some help please.... ?

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-02-03, version 1.5.4*

It would be nice to actually play the game. I’m angry and annoyed at the fact I purchased this game, and can’t even play. It played the tutorial, and then stopped. It froze. I’ve tried a few times, and still the game continues to freeze, after the tutorial. I’ve tried downloading over and over again, and to no avail.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2021-04-29, version 1.5.4*

Boring and the user interface is buggy

### 1/5 — NEEDS SERIOUS UPDATE.

*2021-02-05, version 1.5.4*

Works ok, apart from get stuck on every third menu and no way to exit on Mac.

### 1/5 — Update to iOS 11

*2018-02-25, version 1.5.0*

Please update to iOS 11

### 1/5 — Needs updated

*2017-09-28, version 1.5.0*

Because of iOS and lack of updates from developer you cannot even play this game anymore.

### 1/5 — Rip Off!

*2017-01-01, version 1.5.0*

Does not run past user profile screen.   Hard to believe got so many good "real" reviews.  Makes me doubt App store review reliability altogether.

### 1/5 — Add Russian language

*2016-12-06, version 1.5.0*

add Russian language 
Добавьте русский язык рукожопые

### 1/5 — Poor support

*2015-05-20, version 1.5.0*

Very much enjoyed this game for a year or more but recently have encountered some glitches (time bar appearance incomplete and unable to adjust investment).  Emailed the company to report it and ask for a fix but seems my email has been ignored as I've had no response and the problem continues. Will purposely avoid spending money with this developer until it's fixed.

### 1/5 — Game didn't come out as I expected

*2014-12-31, version 1.5.0*

Come on, can't you add free play to this app and let us decide how much money the company can have? Otherwise this would be five stars if not missing free play.

### 1/5 — Zu einfach für den Preis

*2014-03-01, version 1.5.0*

Ich habe erst mit Air Tycoon angefangen und war begeistert. Dachte mir Cruise Tycoon wird bestimmt ähnlich gut sein. Ist es leider bei weitem nicht. Null Herausforderung, man wartet bis sich die Kasse gefüllt hat und kauft das nächste Schiff und so weiter. Für diesen Preis hätte ich deutlich mehr erwartet!

### 5/5 — Cruise tycoon

*2026-03-04, version 1.5.4*

It would be great if more ports would open. it would also be great if when you purchase the eight boats when you click the diamond icon you actually got eight boats that are listed. I got nothing. Also, it would be great. If like the shipping game you have you could see the cruise ships move around the routes

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER

*2021-04-12, version 1.5.4*

Although it could use an update still it’s a really good game

### 5/5 — Cruise Ship Dream

*2020-05-25, version 1.5.4*

🤚🏻.

### 5/5 — Very Fun

*2020-03-29, version 1.5.4*

Definitely get the HD version (this one) instead of the normal one. Even though it costs more money than the normal version, it’s definitely worth it. It’s very very fun. But I would like to see a sequel

Also, I would like you to do these apps 1: Cruise ship tycoon online (free) This is a game where people..... it’s just this game, you can track where your boats or ships 🛳 are and less crapshoot BLOODY LEARDERBOARDS AND STUFF sorry 😐 got angry 2: Train 🚆 tycoon online + offline These games is you can customise the train livery, choose the hubs, customise the seats 💺 or cabins, choose the layouts and more!!!!! 3: Space program tycoon online + offline These games are like airline tycoon in the future maybe like 2050 - 2100 4: Bus tycoon online + offline This is the last travel themed game I will do it’s simply a bus tycoon and do routes also, for this and train tycoons you can build tunnels like airports. 5:

### 5/5 — Still a great game

*2018-04-17, version 1.5.2*

So glad to see the developer upgrading these fun sim games.

### 5/5 — Gut aber Update fehlt

Bitte Update auf iOS 11

### 5/5 — PLZ UPDATE SO I CAN PLAY AGAIN!!!

*2017-11-06, version 1.5.0*

With the new IOS update, this and many more TRADEGAME Ltd games, have become un playable! This is sad cause I liked this game and other now un playable games! So please update this TRADEGAME so I can play your magnificent games!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2017-09-29, version 1.5.0*

This is a great game, I love it but you need to make the ships buy port or buy range or some thing because if you want to make a multi day cruise you need a massive ship. Great game and please respond so I know you read this
