Cruise Ships

So in the other thread I started I said that they should put in a pack for elders. Some of the feedback I received mentioned cruise ships. I think that would be a great idea for a game pack and could work like Outdoor Retreat.
You book a vacation and instead of free-standing houses you can rent ship cabins of various kinds from simple rooms to top of the line luxury suites or family suites.
For an equivalent of Granite Falls they could have a port of call that encompasses qualities of several world destinations with collections and maybe travel related skills. It could be an expansion of what is already in world (fish, gems etc) or something totally new like travel relics.
On board ship there could be
- shuffle board
- swimming
- restaurants
- maybe a movie theater or live shows (those with entertainer related skills could provide entertainment as a paid gig)
- you could volunteer to take pictures as mementos for sims around you.
- there could be an all ages playground with gym equipment that are suitable for many age groups
Basically all skill sets could probably find a place to either work on skills or put them to use on a cruise ship.
Perhaps they could make this one zone without loading screens as well so you can tour most or all of the ship. If you could tour the whole ship you could work on handiness by tinkering with the engines.
They could also bring out a mermaid npc or item that could turn your sim into a mermaid.
I think this could be really fun if they did this.

There would be enough added that every sim of any age would find something fun to do.
I like your ideas!
And I have seen others wanting stuff similar to this, for awhile now.
(It has been commented on, here and there, for years.)
I would love cruise ships/tropical vacation!
And of course. for ALL ages!
(People of all ages take cruises, and I may not be elder yet, but I wouldn't want my game full of only teens, or contain only one age group.
For me, that would be Twilight Zone... Simmers can set up their own preferences for who does what, anyway...)
Within the world, you could have three neighborhoods:
* Above deck, which would show some islands in the distance, as well as having pools, bars, shuffleboard areas as well as water slides, and buffet tables.
* Below deck, which has cabins, and nightctub area where comedians/musicians play, as well as room for players to build restaurants if they have Dine Out. Maybe even we could play bingo.
* An island, where you see the cruise ship off in the distance, and where you can swim in the ocean, build sandcastles, and do other beach-y things. Swimming with the dolphins would be great, and I'd love to see little FX monkeys and parrots in the trees.
I think it'd be pretty cool.
As long as it has options for the ship to stop on islands and we have beach activities and also the option to stay at resorts. Cruises are awesome but being limited to a luxery liner doesn't give us beach activities and resorts.
I think it would be great if some sims could get seasick or they are scared of open water and they would be tense and uncomfortable the whole time. But maybe this would only work if there was a likes and dislikes system or a fear system.
