New Orleans, Tampa,Orlando, Cozumel, Texas , tons more that can be added to make it more detailed. Oh and I bought the 8 additional cruise ship pack for 1.00 but never got the ships. Where are they ### 3/5 — More ports *2025-12-18, version 1.5.4* This game has potential but more ports. New Orleans, Tampa,Orlando, Cozumel, Texas , tons more that can be added to make it more detailed ### 4/5 — Great iPhone Tycoon of its Time *2023-02-27* This really was a great game of its time especially if you like tycoon themed games and cruises. I wish they would redevelop and update, the only good tycoons out there anymore are idle games and I’m not sure I’d consider them good.. if the momentum was going and they continued to update, I’m sure we’d be amazed at what would’ve been done. Any consideration to bringing this back? ### 4/5 — Please update :( *2022-10-09, version 1.5.4* Please update bugs like going into debt for no reason. It’s a fun game! ### 4/5 — Great iPhone Tycoon of its Time *2022-02-03, version 1.5.4* This really was a great game especially if you like tycoon theme games. I wish they would redevelop and update, the only good tycoons out there anymore are idle games and I’m not sure I’d consider them good.. ### 4/5 — Cruise tycoon *2021-12-07, version 1.5.4* I would love for y’all to give the game a update I love the game but feels like it’s to a update a new ports and new map and love to see new ships as well your player Matthew Fleming from spring TX ### 3/5 — Great but needs a few tweaks *2021-10-05* Thoroughly enjoying this game however there seems to be a glitch and there are no ships available that sail beyond 14 days, and there used to be. Can this be fixed? ### 4/5 — It’s good but needs more cruise ships etc *2020-02-20, version 1.5.4* Would like to see more newer cruise ships and routes and excursions ### 2/5 — It’s ok but could be so much better *2020-01-24* The game is ok but could be a lot better if more attention was paid to details on it, the loan function does not work. It’s not realistic in the tonnage of the ships and I wish it did offline play and could schedule off days for breaks. I’m not really happy with it ### 4/5 — Good game *2019-11-15, version 1.5.4* The game is good but can you please make the ship 3D instead of 2D. ### 4/5 — Cruise ship Tycoon *2019-06-24* I really do like be this game and I have Dream about making my own cruise line since I first learned about cruise ships. I thank you guys did a very good job with the game and the setup for it is very easy to understand. With that being said and I hope the creators see my review there are a couple things I thank could be added to the game to make it better. The first thing is more customizable actions in the game. What I mean is when you buy a new ship there should be more options for you to use and different styles of designs would be great to have as well. The second thing is I wish that you could apply for multiple hubs and port tours at the same time. The third thing is more type of ships along with more ports(not including the in app purchase). The fourth thing I would add is more hands on competition and a way to make new thrills for your ships which I know can be difficult to make for a game. The last thing I would add is an option to buy used ships and customize them for your cruise line. I thank if most of these ideas get added into the game it would make it even better. Thank you for making one of the best games on the App Store!! ### 3/5 — Been the same for years *2019-06-11* I downloaded this game probably 8+ years ago and every year I check for updates. It has the same music, ships, etc..I would love for a Cruise Tycoon 2.. Update please!!! It’s been the same for years and years!!! ### 4/5 — Noiceish *2019-03-21, version 1.5.4* I like it and it’s fun really but could you add some more futuristic ships cuz most of my games stretch into the 2030s and make some more ports like Boston, Tunis, Some more places in Brazil and such ### 4/5 — Il manque pas mal de chose *2019-02-21* Peut-être une Mise à jour pour améliorer l’interface ? Mais aussi pouvoir dépasser 50 navires et avoir plus de possibilités de port et port hub ### 3/5 — It’s worth $1.99 for sure *2019-02-16* And it’s fun... until you realize that the underlying maths are somehow all wrong. For example, I was trying to win the game at the medium level, had 50 ships, twice the tonnage of the nearest competitor, almost all ships in North America, advertised, promoted, sailing full... and yet only a 25% market share in North America while 2 competitors each had a 34% market share even though each had a commanding (60%) market share in another region. It doesn’t and can’t add up. If they fixed that one issue I could more easily overlook the other issues like how the port cancellations are doled out and handled... or huge sums of money are subtracted out of your current account for no apparent reason. There also appears to be nothing you can do to increase passenger counts in off season... all the tools have no effect. The computer will fill your ships to 100% June through August and over Christmas no matter how crappy they are, and only give you about 65-70% full at other times no matter how great they are, how desirable the port, or how much you advertise or promote. ### 2/5 — My purchases did not restore. *2019-01-06, version 1.5.4* I love the game but when I did the restore purchase button it did not give me my port or the boat I bought before. I bought the extra money twice but I did not get it in the game . Can you plz fix the problem so I can enjoy the game again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More ports *2026-02-06, version 1.5.4* This game has potential but more ports. New Orleans, Tampa,Orlando, Dublin and Cozumel, Texas , tons more that can be added to make it more detailed. Oh and I bought the 8 additional cruise ship pack for 1.00 but never got the ships. Where are they ### 1/5 — Add more updates *2024-08-15, version 1.5.4* Bro this game is boring without updates pls add more or a one star review your choice ### 1/5 — BAD *2023-06-01, version 1.5.4* Hard to learn to play. ### 1/5 — Old game Bad purhase *2019-10-20, version 1.5.4* Worst game ever. It shouldnt be sold anymore. ### 1/5 — No customizing your cruise *2019-04-24, version 1.5.4* The thing is that I like to customize my ship when I play cruise games it’s really boring without customizing your cruise and this game is not worth it if you like it customize your cruise ### 1/5 — iOS 11 issue *2018-01-14, version 1.5.1* It would be great if it work in iOS 11 ### 1/5 — MAJ IOS 11 s’ il vous plait *2018-01-08* J’étais ravi de l’application, j’ ai même acheté la version entière mais il n’ y a pas eu de mises à jour pour IOS 11 donc l’application n’ est plus utilisable...DÉÇU ### 1/5 — Used to be a favorite. Update needed! *2017-12-05, version 1.5.1* This used to be one of my favorite apps. But, apparently the developers have abandoned the game. Just a pop up saying developers need to update the game to work with iOS 11. A total slap in the face to regular players. Please update. ### 1/5 — iOS11 *2017-11-13, version 1.5.1* So I just paid for a game that isn't even compatible with my phone because the developer needs to update!?! I'm very dissatisfied. Thanks for virtually stealing my money. If I could rate negative stars I would. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME IF YOUR iPHONE IS OPERATING ON iOS11 ### 1/5 — Can’t Play *2017-11-09, version 1.5.1* I just payed for this game and I can’t play it because it is outdated for IOS 11. The developer needs to update it! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MAKE CRUISE TYCOON 2 *2026-04-24, version 1.5.4* I love this game so much that I wish you made a Cruise Tycoon 2 for sequel as this is by far my favorite mobile management game of all time!! ### 5/5 — Um did it scam me? *2025-07-08, version 1.5.4* So i bought this game and i never got my ships is bought please i need a answer ### 5/5 — Amazing Game *2020-09-21* I've been playing this for years and I wish there were more games like it. This will stand in my top 3 favorite ship-related games for years most likely since ship games aren't really focused on at all anymore besides World of Warships which is still moving strongly. I really wish this game could get some sort of revamp in the future or a 2nd title. ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-09-17, version 1.5.4* This game made my dream come true ### 5/5 — They need to make an updated version of this game!! *2020-05-25* This is such a fun, game but obviously as it is quite old isn’t too modern, it would be amazing if they could make a new version of this game similar to what they did to Air tycoon. ### 5/5 — I wish I knew sooner that this had been updated! *2020-05-13* I played this game from roughly 7 years ago (senior year high school) on a field trip and was hooked. That was on my wifi-only 3rd gen ipod touch. Then I got it on my first iPhone. Then it didn’t update for some time for my SE, was very sad. I kept two old devices around just to play this - my favorite tycoon game ever. I am overjoyed that it has been updated and I’m sorry I didn’t check sooner. This game is amazing. If you love a good tycoon game, this is a great one with good user interface for a small device. 200% recommended by me. 😊 ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-03-09, version 1.5.4* This the best game ever.first of all there are no ads and that makes it very pleasant to play.second of all its a tycoon game and I love tycoon games. ### 5/5 — Nice Game. *2019-11-24, version 1.5.4* One of the few TRADEGAMES INC. Games that still NEEDS A Sequel, But Is VERY Fun And Enjoyable! 5/5 Would Cruise Again 😜 ### 5/5 — Great *2019-05-31* Great game wish they would do a big update AKA new and improved ### 5/5 — One of the Best iOS Games EVER! *2018-07-13, version 1.5.4* I have spent countless hours playing this game and let me tell you, it is so much fun. There is so much to do and the soundtrack is soooo relaxing, 999/10! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
