Too many ads and asks for money

I was really excited to play this game. It allows you to run the game as a cruise ship CEO which is an awesome perspective to a game! Once I started playing I felt like there were way too many ads. However, my single biggest pet peeve about this game is that it forces you to have to make purchases to continue. When you run out of money to run your cruise line, even if it’s because of mishaps you can’t control, they try to force you to spend real money to keep playing. A lot of games off in app purchases but not to continue the game. They are usually as upgrades or to advance your progress faster. On top of that, they also want you to pay monthly or yearly for the game! I finally got frustrated and just deleted this game after restarting a couple times. This was such a waste of a good idea in my opinion.

Really disappointed

As someone who really enjoys games like this, and who really enjoys taking Cruises, I was really excited to try it out. However, I was really disappointed when it turns out that there are copious amounts of ads around every corner. Also, it makes you watch a lot of ads or pay a lot of money just to play the game. I don’t think it’s fair, and I don’t think a user gets a good first impression by not being able to spend much time before getting hit with ads and a paywall. As much as I hate to do it, I will be deleting this game and not playing any further and I really developers reconsider their marketing strategy and pricing model. I wanted to give it one star, but I gave it two stars for its graphics and the work that was obviously put into the game, but it was difficult to even to do that.

D tier rating

the game isn't that bad, it's just the fact that you have to pay to play the game, unless you want to wait 45 minutes before you can play it again, you go for like 5 mins tapping through until you get to choose something then to do that over and over again until you get to a page where they say your time is up waiting for the next story or whatever and you have to either pay to play it with no wait timer or wait the full 45 mins to play again, it just gets everyone out of the mood to play let alone would someone wanna pay like $60 a year
