Did you hear an almighty bang? Feel the earth shake beneath your feet? Is the air filled with the sounds of splintering wood? If so, you must have reached level 16!
Head on down to the docks and gaze in awe at the wreckage - your Cruise Ship has just arrived!!
The first stage of unlocking the Cruise Ship is to complete the Story “Ship Shape” by collecting the necessary materials needed to help repair and clean the ship which has been damaged in a storm.
Once the Ship Shape story is completed, the Cruise ship enters building mode and work begins on repairing and cleaning the ship - this takes 12 hours, the time can be skipped using gems.
Once repairs are completed, a Cruise Ship will arrive at your dock at regular intervals, containing orders for supplies that the ship requires. Filling these orders will earn you coins and XP stars.
Tapping on the ship will display the orders you need to fill to earn the completion reward. Completion rewards include gold and silver tickets, coins and XP stars.
You are allowed to ask your friends to help with two of the orders, to do this, tap on the order you need help with and select the red help option. The order will then display a red help sign, alerting your friends that you require help with that particular order. A red help sign will also appear above your cruise ship at the dock.
Tapping on an individual order displays the reward earned for filling that order and the amount of that particular item you have in stock. Once you have enough of the item stored in your storeroom you can fill the order by tapping the green check button.
Completed orders will display a green checkmark.
Above the Select an order panel is a timer displaying how long you have left to fill the ship’s orders before the ship leaves your dock and also the number of completed ships you will need to send off in order to upgrade your cruise ship to the next level.
If your ship leaves before you have completed all the orders you will not receive your completion bonus. The completion bonus is displayed below the orders on the left bottom.
If you think the orders on a particular ship are too hard you have the option to dismiss the ship by tapping the red button at bottom right.
Friends who complete an order for you will receive the coins and XP reward for that order. When a friend has completed an order for you, their profile image will display above the ship and also on the order they have filled.
Once all the orders on the ship are filled, the red Dismiss Ship button will be replaced with a green Complete Now! button - you MUST click this button in order to send away your ship and claim your rewards.
Cruise Ships remain at your dock for 16 hours. Once they leave, a buoy is displayed floating in the water.
Clicking on this buoy will tell you how long to go before the next cruise ship arrives and will also give you a hint to one of the required items. You can choose to skip the wait time using gems.
The time that your cruise ship arrives depends on when you send it away. It arrives again 8 hours after it has been sent away.
Upgrading Your Cruise Ship
After you have sent off the required number of completed ships, you are given the option to upgrade your cruise ship. Tap the Upgrade button at top right to enter the upgrade screen
Here you can see the amount of currency needed to upgrade your ship. Tap OK to upgrade. The amount of currency required will be deducted from your totals.
- The Cruise Ship can be upgraded 5 times - tapping on the stars will show a preview of each upgraded ship and tell you the benefits of upgrading to that particular level. Benefits include extra coins, extra XP and increased chances of getting a Golden Ship.
- The Cruise ship can be upgraded either at the dock or while it is away. If the upgrade is tapped while the ship is at the dock, the current orders will be canceled. To upgrade while the ship is away, tap the buoy and then tap upgrade. The ship will return to the dock and enter building mode - this can be skipped using gems.
