Cruise [Story] is a Roblox Story and Horror game created by Ponchokings on May 16th, 2020.

Story
14 players are invited to a free ride at a cruise ship to have dinner with the Captain, Edward Smith. The players are introduced to Jack, one of the employees. During the first night a ghost ship appears and it is revealed there are some ghosts haunting the ship.

Why It's a Cruise of a Lifetime

 * 1) The thumbnail artwork, although looking a bit generic, looks a bit cool.
 * 2) The lobby features the cruise ship and to join a server, you have to go up one of the 4 staircases, which is a unique way to start a game.
 * 3) The design of the cruise is very detailed, with there being an outdoor pool that you can slide into, a cafeteria, rooms to sleep in, an arcade, a dining room, and the captain's room.
 * 4) The artwork of the characters in the dialogue boxes look very cute.
 * 5) There's tons of money you can get around the cruise that you can use to buy things, such as food items.
 * 6) In the beginning of the game, Jack makes you play two games where you can get some money if you win.
 * 7) * The first game is a game where Jack tells you to find three item in the cruise and bring it back to him to win, with the items being a Fork, Toilet Paper, and a Golden Ticket.
 * 8) * The second game is dodgeball. Players are divided into two teams. The team that wins earns a lot of money.
 * 9) Going through the power room is pretty challenging, making it one of the more memorable parts of the game.
 * 10) In the Arcade, you can get tickets by clicking the arcade machines. If you have enough tickets, you can buy the bat, which can hurt enemies.
 * 11) Greenbeard and Edward Smith are pretty good antagonists. Greenbeard's motive is to bring back his golden necklace, whereas Captain Smith's motive is to keep the necklace.
 * 12) The boss fights against Greenbeard and Captain Smith aren't too bad, although they are just cheap sword bosses.
 * 13) A Memorable Segment in the game is where Captain Smith poisons the chicken during the dinner. Eating the chicken even hurts you.
 * 14) In the Cruise Prison, when you jump up in the vents when you are getting the key to unlock Jack's cell, you can go into a secret room with a monster poster that gives you money, with the monster being Ronald, the main antagonist of the Airplane Series, a series this game is actually in.
 * 15) The Flooding Segment where Greenbeard destroys the water pipes features a puzzle where the players have to press 4 buttons to open a door.
 * 16) In the camera room, you can do a puzzle where you have to click every screen in a certain order to get a lot of money.
 * 17) There are four endings, with each of them being explained below.
 * 18) * The good ending has the player(s) throwing the necklace that Captain Smith had into the water after Smith's Boss Fight, after Captain Greenbeard requests for it to happen.
 * 19) * The bad ending has the player(s) not taking the necklace from Captain Smith and instead escaping the ship, where Captain Greenbeard and his minions are later fought in a Boss Fight.
 * 20) * The evil ending has the player who picked up the necklace keeping the necklace, causing them to become evil.
 * 21) * The secret ending has the player unlocking a room with a green keycard that General Poncho was in.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The Flooding Segment can be a bit hard, due to the ghost pirate enemies blocking your path.
 * 2) In the first minigame that Jack has the players play, the items are always the same and are always in the same spot, which allows for players to memorize where these items are, which also makes it unfair for players new to the game, since they'll most likely not know where the items are.
 * 3) If there is an uneven amount of players in the game, the dodgeball minigame will separate players into uneven teams, which will make the game unfair.
 * 4) The game's genre is horror, although not being very scary.
 * 5) As said above, although the boss fights aren't that bad, they are just cheap sword bosses.
 * 6) A huge plot hole in the game is that if Greenbeard wanted his necklace back so badly, why didn't he just attack the captain and take it from him?
