Cruise Ship Captain's Description

Cruise Ship Captain is a computer simulator and a learning tool allowing you to explore how a Captain or Harbor Pilot can maneuver the cruise ships. You are given a Bridge window that controls ship. If you are piloting the "standard ship", you have twin engines, a set of bow and stern thrusters and twin rudders. With the azipod-driven ship, you control a unique propulsion and steering system consisting of a pair of pods that carry the propellers. Your challenge is to bring the ship to the dock in the harbor of your choice.

Cruise Ship Captain is also a game. You can compete with others on how skillfully and how quickly you can bring your ship into the harbor. After mastering the introductory level of difficulty you can increase the challenge by requesting variable wind speeds up to 100 knots, harbor traffic and even random equipment failure. A special version of Cruise Ship Captain called Cruise Ship Time Trials is included in the package. It differs from Cruise Ship Captain in having a count-down timer. You set the amount of time allowed the player, 5, 10 or 15 min, and the game halts after his or her time is up. When it halts it displays the players score that includes damage from any collisions.

The "standard ship" uses the classic ship design of twin, shaft-mounted propellers that are mounted in front of twin rudders. In general, the propellers drive the ship forward and in reverse and the rudders control the direction. With forward thrust, the propellers increase the steering power of the rudders by driving water over their surfaces to form a water jet to either side. You can steer the ship with either the rudder or the propellers. The ship also has bow and stern thrusters to help turn the ship or push the ship sideways toward or away from the dock.

The Pod Ship has propellers mounted on rotating pods that hang below the ship. Since she does not need rudders or stern thrusters, she can be both more maneuverable and more challenging to control.
