Carnival Cruise Lines Tycoon Tips and Cheats
(2005: Island Hopping)
by Joe Tracy, Publisher of NEWSdial.com

Here are several tips and cheats for AcTiVision Value's Carnival Cruise Lines Tycoon 2005: Island Hopping:

General Tips:
If you want to sell a shop because you need the money, wait until your maintenance worker repairs the shop so that you get maximum value. Otherwise you could get less than half of the shop's total value.

In Career Mode, upgrade your ports and you'll have a nice jump in your reputation, which affects how much people will pay to be on your ship.

If you're unsure what to add next, go to Stats, then Guest Stats, and click the "Suggest" tab. Add what the #1 request is. Doing this will increase guest satisfaction and your reputation.

When you need to do a lot of building, do it in a port so that you don't max out your maintenance guys, who can then spend their time keeping all your other buildings in excellent condition. When you're in port your buildings are instantly created. At sea, you have to wait for a maintenance person to build it.

Before adding a second stateroom to your ship, simply right-click on your current stateroom and click the "hire staff" icon (two people with a checkmark). You now have a second maid!

Game Money Cheat:
During gameplay type in the words "iamacheater" (without the quotes). Just type it out - you don't need a prompt to come up. Once you've typed it, you'll see the words "Cheats Enabled" appear on the right side of the screen. That means you have succeeded.

Now hold down CTRL, SHIFT, and the * key on your numeric keypad and money will start to pile into your account. Note: If you hit the wrong asterisks key (the one above the letter 8) your ship will get lost at sea and you immediately lose the game.

For Fun:
Once you have cheats enabled, hold down CTRL, SHIFT, and the "k" key to make it rain. This has no effect on your gameplay.
