I could be wrong but I thought it started a couple of days after an event ended. My event ended just a few hours ago

As I recall cruise usually starts after quest line ends. However, because cruise event usually takes more than 10 days generally (in this case 17), sometimes I would finish it and then for a week I wouldn't have any quests. So maybe that's the reason :>
I just checked the Mina's Magic Cauldron quest and Ghost Ship Cruise: the Mina's quest started on Oct. 8 and lasted 14 days, the Ghost Ship Cruise event started on Oct.22, so right after the quest. Seems like the holiday cruise follows the same pattern, but I'm not sure! :]

Yay cruise! I haven't cooked recipes with meat and hard to get veggies and cream for days so I could have lots of stock on hand. I'm below level 37 so I didn't have the second set of holiday goals in the last event or that wouldn't have been possible.

Well the actual cruise is 10 days, but you can start it later so those days adds up to the total as wel. If you look up at the holiday recipes (Shepard pie and Holiday Hat Cupcakes) they are staying for 17 days. Which means we prob won't get another quest until everyone (including those who started later) complete the cruise event. But as I said, that's just my theory, I didn't actually look up all quests and cruise events to claim that cruise starts directly after quests.

Ok so this is my first cruise and it seems hard. I have to make dishes/collect items that takes forever to collect. Would it have been better to wait to start the cruise so I would have more time to do. I really don't think I will finish this quest in 10 days.

Sorry, but I have a couple more questions. Why is there a timer on when a new goal will appear on the cruise? Also, if I continue cooking the dishes that I need for the goals while I am waiting for the timer will it count towards the cruise or no?

That's a personal choice as to when to start. Keep in mind that the event will automatically start on its own in a few days.

Left overs stay in the restaurant.

Each day at the same time every day a new day will start. Once you complete a day, the cruise locks until your next day opens. Depending on how fast you get through the current day will determine how many hours until your new day starts, hence the timer.

Usually pre cooked meals do count to cruise orders. Although once there was problem and half of us (me) couldn't use already made food. We call it stacking. Many of us stack long hour items to help us out. Keep in mind to be careful not to fill up all your counters or you won't be able to empty your stoves and make new items.

Since this is your first cruise you might want to read past cruise events for tips

Each day is 24 hours. If you finish day earlier, then you still have to wait remaining hours to start new day. If you finished day earlier and you got timer, then you can't load dishes to the ship and have to wait remaining hours until you are able to do so.

Might be a silly question (and I've been playing long enough to know the answer!) but what are the shepherds pie and cupcakes for? I've noticed these extra recipes a few times but I always ignored them!

Also, I have my drink maker finally building, cute drinking animations are on the way! Will drinks now be requested from the cruise or only when it has finished building?

I'm not sure why they add extra recipes, I don't think there is a certain purpose, just some recipes to master and get plaque I would assume. Maybe something to do after 10 days!
And regardless drink maker - I think that you be asked for recipes as soon as you unlock any new appliences. I read before people complaining how they would unlock seafood market or fruit store, or new appliences and cruise would ask for recipes or ingridients that don't have yet!

Not sure about the new recipes. I always think it's a way to get us distracted from the real event. People see a new recipe,especially with a timer and panic and think they need to master them. Then they end up using valuable resources. Tricky S8. Lol.

I noticed that I always get asked for items I either don't have unlocked or don't even have the appliance for the cruises. It seems like it's connected to the level you are on more than anything. So if you are on a level that allows you to get the drink maker, then the cruise will requests drinks from the drink maker even if you haven't bought it yet. I just recycle those requests. One cruise kept asking for onion rings with every third order and I don't have the fryer yet. That was a pain

Yes the game/cruise asks accordingly to our level. It's challenging when you level up just few days before or during a cruise and you don't have time or coins to learn those new recipes. That happened to me, I had to refresh those orders for new recipes. And after that cruise, I quickly learnt whatever I could.

I typically ignore the extra recipes until the cruise is over, then I see if I can master them in the remaining 7 or so days. I like the plaques. :)

I've only had 1 order so far that I have not unlocked (seaweed) so fingers crossed I don't have more. I did unlock the deli and salad bar recipes (except for sushi) so hopefully I get more high value orders this time.

Someone mentioned a page or so back about the coin values changing...I think it has to do with level. My 4 coin orders on day 2 were worth 60. I had 2 of them so this day was comparatively easy for me.

Last cruise was awful. My things would disappear when I left the game so no stacking for me. This time what is asking for is ridiculous and too much for one day, if my first day is this difficult to achieve then there is no way to achieve it when it gets harder as the days go,by. Very disappointing. Used to enjoy these events but now unless I can live on my tablet I can't do them. Sad!

Yeah I agree, the two quests for December seemed like the hardest I have done, way harder than the St. Patrick's day one a while back too. But hopefully they got all of the feedback that we put on the forums and will try and make future quests easier to deal with. But the cruise seems to be about the same for me as it usually is. It's probably just the time of the year that made it seem like it, I just made sure that as soon as I finished getting the Snowball cookies that I started stacking my counters for this cruise. And I am glad I did because Storm8 managed to get all three things that I wanted for Christmas events. A quest to get a great recipe, a cruise event, and a new appliance. So I am glad they got our requests and listened to us on this one.

Technically no your time is not shorten. The event is 10 days (unless you finish the entire event with gems). However, you unlocked a day early but will have to wait for your original day to catch up before you can advance. For example if your day 5 was on Monday and day 6 was on Tuesday and day 7 was on Wednesday and you opened day 6 early on Monday. When you finish day 6 your game will lock down until your original day 7 would have opened on Wednesday. Meaning you will most likely have to sit out for almost 2 days..

It's dependent on your level and not what you've unlocked or what appliance you have. I'm constantly asked for stuff I haven't unlocked and items on appliances I don't own. A couple of cruise ago I was asked for fried fish every third order and I don't have the fryer.

The fondue is only unlocked by doing something on facebook (I can't remember what! :) ). Think it might be an exception, like the mastery sandwich and breakfast.
It is pretty annoying being asked for the other dishes that haven't been unlocked. I levelled up on the last cruise and didn't have enough coins/time to learn them!

It's almost 11 pm and I still have 263 gems left to go after filling 10 orders. Even the 3 and 4 coin orders I have cooking now will barely get me halfway done with day 8 on the morning of day 9!

I'm only on day three now and I was thinking this seems much harder than the last cruise for some reason? I leveled up during the beginning of the last cruise so the increase in difficulty shouldn't have to do with what level I'm on during this one...It seems most of my orders are 1 and 2 coin dishes or something from the fryer. I had to almost laugh, as soon as I started my cruise my requests were for: apples, veggie juice, and apple cider...It just goes to show there is nothing "random" about what orders pop up. If the orders are random, the possibility of all three orders popping up and requiring the same ingredient would be minuscule to say the least! That's my request to the makers of the game: give me a fighting chance by making the orders random. Don't try to "fix" the game. Especially when they are so blatantly obvious about it!

Well I'm down to 116 gems left on day 8 partway thru day 9....if the stupid thing stops giving me orders that all require the same appliance (deli) that would be nice too. And the market is so not helping this time! I need 1 cream and I go to the market and it has 2 salmon and 3 carrots and a couple of stupid things like eggs and cheese. Of course when I actually need 3 carrots there are none there...

Idk if it's just me, but it seems like anytime I need something for an order the street market never has it lol. For example I need 10 onions, but I never seem to get them on the street market. Now when I don't need that item, it is always on there. Does this happen to anyone else?

I think it's just all random. I had preveious orders when I need an apple or an onion and I wouldn't get one, but I also had orders when I needed strawberry or orange or salmon and it was on the street market :>

I don't think any of this game is "random". Everything is fixed a certain way. You will wind up getting some of the items for your orders from the street market, the same as sometimes the orders will end up being what you stocked on your counters. However, the odds are stacked against us. The game is set up to try to find ways to make you want to spend gems. But, they know they have to allow you some relief by sometimes giving you a break too. So, they fix the game to make it frustrating enough in the hopes you will spend money/gems, but not so frustrating that you will quit the game. But, sometimes they make it too frustrating because they don't know where that line in the sand is. When they lose players then they know they've gone too far.

Maybe the odds are fixed in a way, but there is still chance to get certain items when you need them in the street market:> I can see how it could be frustrating, but at the same time this is ftp game which implies that people spend gems/money, so obviously it's not going to be all in favour of a player. From this perspective, I think rs2 have pretty good chances to obtain ingridient you missing, or get a request for recipes that are on the counter (for cruise event) :>

Just started playing this game after installing it a year ago to get gems for castle story. This is my first cruise and probably my last. At first it was a lot of fun, but now It's asking for dishes from items I don't have. I can't even buy a deli ( no money ) and its wants a sandwich from that. Just leveled up and immediately wants a dish that I haven't learned yet. I've already spent all my gems speeding up timers. This game is a money pit.

I've just finished the goal and I'm happily cooking the Holiday Tree Rolls on the new oven! To be honest, apart from today which was truly brutal with mostly 1 & 2 coin dishes, hardly wanting any pre-prepared dishes and constant refreshing I found the cruise quite a lot of fun. I've had a quite Christmas so I haven't had anything better to do! :p So far I've managed to complete all cruises and I hardly ever spend gems unless they're gems I've earned from playing other S8 games or that I've earned from recipes. I am max level and have plenty of pantry space and everything unlocked so I can imagine it to be a lot harder for lower levels and new players. If you feel you can't complete the end goal, at least do as much as you can to earn the other rewards so your efforts are not in vain. Good luck to you all! ;)27275

The first cruise came around and I was only level 23. I know exactly how hard it is. I had a terrible time! I have won 3 cruises so far and have gone up 20 levels since I first tried one, but I still struggle with these things!

When people mention gems per day, that's how much you would need to pay if you didn't want any work to do. You can use gems to skip through all the days just for the rewards if you really wanted to! Delivering orders to the ship decrease the gem cost, and doing so can get you through the whole event for free!

I was trying to do that. I decided to stop hoarding gems and quick serves too. Used up 38 serves and sped a few ingredient refreshes. Got down to 90 gems with about 20 minutes left so I spent the gems and now have my pretty new appliance!

Wow this was hard! I think the first cruise I did at level 18 was easier than this one was. Hopefully your last 2 days go smoothly. Just seemed to be way more small coin dishes than usual. I turned in 19 orders today and still had to spend gems due to running out of time. Good luck!

At one point I had 90 + quick services. Then on vacation the UK cruise started. I had to use all of them and a bucket load of gems. Was this close to finishing on the last day which coincided with our 16 hours worth of flights home. Planned it all out only to have it go to heck when we found out they changed our flights and sent us the wrong information. Our flights were departing in 30 min which was 4 hours earlier than scheduled. Then my phone died and I had no connection at the airports. On top of that two of our flights were delayed by hours so when we finally landed at home, the event had ended and I was only a few gems short. Lost all those quick services and gems and was so close. Since then I've only received about 5 quick services. That was months so ago. Oh well

Lone pudding did a great job in pointing you to the guides. Just wanted to add regarding the daily gems question. Each day there is gem amount that appears next to your meter. This amount goes up with each day. That amount is how much it would cost to finish/skip that day's orders. Each order is worth either 1,2,3,4 coins. Each coin amount is worth a certain amount, which may change due to level or day. For example a 1 coin dish may be worth 5 gems. So when you turn in that 1 coin order, your meter fills up a certain percentage and the daily gem value goes down by 5. So if the daily gem value is 500 gems to finish/skip and you only get 1 coin orders, you would have to make 100 dishes that day to finish out the day.

Yay!!! :D I just finished my first cruise! All thanks to the counters that was stocked with 3 and 4-coin dishes, they helped a lot. Now I'm going to turn my chairs back and let the guests enjoy the food. Happy New Year! :)

Yep the limit is 40 but through gifts and without using them, they pile up =)

I gift daily but of course the receiver gets it in random unfortunately :/



OMG I feel for you, wasn't there an option to buy whatever is remaining with gems or do you have to pay full price?

I missed 2 cruises before cause I thought I don't feel like playing the game then I felt like continuing lol

I would have used gems if I had landed before the event was over but once an event is over the costs usually reverts to the original gem prices for items/people. Oh well. The positive that came out of it was that for the first time I realized the world wasn't going to end if I didn't complete an event. Lol that was a watershed moment for me!

I finished this yesterday and love that the recipes have decent quantities. Not that I have any counter space. I've been throwing food away to make room for those I haven't yet mastered. Congrats to all who finished and good luck to those still trying. I don't know the last time I had quick serves, so don't think you need those! Remove some chairs if you need to...

And I don't know about yall but I'm ready for the next event! First time I've said that. Because I have 20 mastery spices taking up too much room in storage. It's an eyesore that I'm desperate to use.

At one point I had 90 + quick services. Then on vacation the UK cruise started. I had to use all of them and a bucket load of gems. Was this close to finishing on the last day which coincided with our 16 hours worth of flights home. Planned it all out only to have it go to heck when we found out they changed our flights and sent us the wrong information. Our flights were departing in 30 min which was 4 hours earlier than scheduled. Then my phone died and I had no connection at the airports. On top of that two of our flights were delayed by hours so when we finally landed at home, the event had ended and I was only a few gems short. Lost all those quick services and gems and was so close. Since then I've only received about 5 quick services. That was months so ago. Oh well

This happened to me in August for the Alaskan event. I was close but during the final few hours of returning home, I couldn't play, then was so exhausted that I forgot to check in during the last hour and was only a few short gems away from finishing. I wanted that baked Alaska so bad. And still get annoyed when I see someone have it on their counter.

Used about 90 saved gems to speed up some items collection to finish 4 hours ahead just in case there is something wrong with the timer, because I'd be really upset if I don't get the last prize after so many days of hard work because of coding or technical error or what not :mad: I wish I learned about the pre-stocking my counters and turning chair around trick earlier though. Could have saved a lot of time and gems. It didn't help much today as I only got a couple catering orders that were already on my counter! It kept asking for ingredients so I had to gem skip those =( Oh well, will keep the trick in mind next time! :)

Now I can focus on a different game that's not on my ipad...

The first cruise came around and I was only level 23. I know exactly how hard it is. I had a terrible time! I have won 3 cruises so far and have gone up 20 levels since I first tried one, but I still struggle with these things!

Here are two threads that have helped me in the past:

http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?83244-Cruise-Event-Guide

When people mention gems per day, that's how much you would need to pay if you didn't want any work to do. You can use gems to skip through all the days just for the rewards if you really wanted to! Delivering orders to the ship decrease the gem cost, and doing so can get you through the whole event for free!

Thanks for the help, hopefully I progress moving forward if I'm still playing :)

There were rewards for cruise events that included recipes that give gems. However, they also gave new applience for Halloween (recipes didn't give gems) and now they decided to give new applience too! Last cruise event rewarded recipe, this cruise rewarded applience :>

I m done. Last 3 days still doing fine. I only spent 26 gems in the whole cruise which is great. Among the rewards, I love the Holiday Town Display & Baby Reindeer and of cos the Snowy Oven. Look forward serving my customers those wonderful looking dishes from it. Hopefully day after tomorrow cos all my counters are still fully occupied. Good luck to those who still working on it.

Total newb question here :rolleyes:

So... I've read the guides, but am still not sure... Do I only get 'cruise coins' from the 3 orders that are in the slots??
And is there any way of knowing what orders will be coming up??

I'm confused because I've read of people pre-cooking, but to my mind, shouldn't you be not pre-cooking, so you can save ingredients for the unknown orders coming up??

Sorry if this makes no sense ;) ;) ;)

No not at all it makes perfect sense, trust me I have tried doing the cruises multiple ways, without spending gems of course to see what would be the most efficient way of completing them. The orders that come up only come up in the three slots that you automatically get, now of course you can pay an extra 100 gems to get a fourth slot but from what I have seen it doesn't seem to help people, also just for a reference never spend 250 gems on the catering help, I tried it on the first cruise event ever and it was the biggest waste of my gems ever. Now the three orders are the only ones that you have but there is a little blue refresh bottom in the top left hand corner of each of the three slots, so if you don't like the recipe that is currently up then you can refresh it. Also if you saw in the guides, the best recipes or ingredients to give towards the cruise are 3 and 4 cruise coin recipes because they take up the biggest chunk of the progress bar. (For the most part you want to make only 1 or 2 cruise coin dishes if you are a really low level).

So strategies that the community has thought of as a whole is stacking up the limited number of counters that you have with the best dishes that will help you complete the day of the cruise in the fastest way possible. To ensure that your customers don't steal your valuable servings you usually put your chair in the storage and cover up the door to ensure that no one can steal your servings. And the main thing that at least I try to do after having a good amount of servings of each dish is when the next cruise day comes I refresh the orders that are in each of the slots that aren't the dishes that I already have on my counters ready to be shipped off to the cruise. Now it can be a little time consuming as each refresh takes half an hour but in my opinion it is much faster and an easier way to complete the cruise then just making the dishes the day of, especially in the last 4 days of the event.

The only problem I would have to say there is with this method is you need enough coins for the whole 10 days of the cruise so that you are able to keep buying ingredients so that you can keep stacking up the dishes on your counters. Also if you go a little overboard with the stacking of your dishes then you will probably have to take a few days after the cruise is over to let your customers eat the rest of your servings that are leftover (Chances are you probably will go overboard the first time you try it but it just comes from experience and you do often get a huge chunk of change in after all the servings are gone).

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions about the cruise or just Restaurant Story 2 then just feel free to send me a pm and I will get back to you in less than a day. :D

After reading those wonderful guides I think I get it now. I never knew the trick of blocking the door or turning/removing chairs to stack and that for sure will be a technique I use in the future. I also think I need to play more aggressive from the start.

Random question, are cruises a regular event in RS2, as in their big event or do they have other big events too? I'm going to be reading through threads more but figured I would throw that question out there as I have seen two cruises now, although first one I saw had only 2 days left or so when I returned to the game.

Thanks to everyone here who helped out. I don't mind losing this one as I see it as a learning experience. I am starting to enjoy the 2 games a lot more now whereas before I was RS and BS. I completely deleted BS from my phone now actually and RS may be soon to go as a girl can only play so many games and the 2's format fit better with my life.

Guess it's time to start looking at the add me thread and hope BS2 starts adding S8 friends too but anyone here can feel free to add me, it's my username. Have a great night!

Cruise is one of the frequent events in this game. I found that they usually have cruise event at least once a month, then after they would have some quests lines (one or more) and then we could expect cruise again. So reading through the guides and learning the mechanics and strategies is important in order to do your best during the event! :>
Just to add on what AlexKippy said - Door blocking is not working in this game, so the only way to stop customers to come is to turn away chair (or store them). However, sometimes people expirience glitch where all their food disappear if all the chairs are blocked, because, as pointed out by moderators, blocking access to food is not part of game mechanics. So a lot of people (myself included) leave one chair for customers - this way the food is selling, but at a very slow rate. :>
If you have any questions you should totally ask them, I'm sure a lot of people would love to help you with cruise events and quests! :3

I have blocked my door with every cruise and never had a problem, FYI. I don't believe blocking the door has anything to do with the "glitches", due to the fact that you can find people playing this game on this forum who have tried using one chair and they have run into the very same "glitch" of losing their food. Also, one person I remember specifically said they had at least 3 chairs out and they still had the glitch occur to them as well. So, blocking the door or using one chair or a few do doesn't mean you won't have the glitch happen to you. This glitch just happens sometimes to some people. Someone said they believe the game creators know this glitch occurs sometimes to some people but really don't know why and don't know how to fix it so it never gets fixed. The only times I run into problems with this game is if when I open the game I start to play the game too quickly. This game likes to refresh a lot and when that happens it can screw things up. Also, I've run into problems when I'm using a cell phone tower connection instead of a constant wifi connection. As long as I play this game at home I rarely ever have a problem.

I had this glitch happened to me when I had chair out, so I believe it's a synch issue. However, as being said blocking access to food completely is not part of the game mechanics so I just want to be extra careful and not completely block all access, just sell it slowly. There is really no prove to anything, it's really up to people to decide what to do.

Yeah the door thing has glitched for me a few times and my dish servings still disappear so that is why I mentioned the taking away the chair thing. But I will have to try just leaving one chair out sometime, never done that before but it sounds interesting. And for everyone else wondering they have done a cruise event every month for a while now and I don't see that changing anytime soon, the cruise events usually follow a special quest for the month as well.

Just to clarify, not sure it makes a difference, I guess I don't actually block my door according to what I've seen other players do. I allow my customers to come in, get to the host/hostess and then get turned away because I block them from getting to any of my chairs. I guess there are some people who put something right in front of their door to keep customers from ever getting in. I've never tried that, so don't know if that matters or not.

For me blocking the door doesn't work. If I block my door, my food still ends up selling. So I turn my chairs around to prevent costumers from sitting down. I do occasionally have a glitch where the server serves an empty table.

Omg so angry I need to rant. I'm on my last day of the cruise and fortunately I've been geeting decent dishes so I'm in a great mood! I get a request for chicken casserole, but I had *just* sent in 10 broccolis so I think, what the hell, I'll use gems to get more broccoli (I had to do it twice cause I only get 3 every 2 hrs), worth it right?

Wrong.

A few minutes later I check in and the two ovens where I was making the casserole are showing as not in use. So I freak out and lo and behold, the ingredients I had used were also gone. No dishes. No ingredients. Goodbye, gems.

Breathe.... A few more hours and I'll be done, happily cooking in my snowy oven!!

That has happened to me many a time before. But I hope you get that snowy oven, I have to say that this is one of my new favorite appliances, I make the holiday tree rolls all the time because it has the same stats as Lobster Sandwich but just requires garlic instead of lobster and only takes two hours to cook.

And is there any way of knowing what orders will be coming up??

I'm confused because I've read of people pre-cooking, but to my mind, shouldn't you be not pre-cooking, so you can save ingredients for the unknown orders coming up??

Sorry if this makes no sense ;) ;) ;)

I know you already got some great answers to your questions but I wanted to add my two cents.

There is no way to know what dishes are going to come up, however, I've notice, and it may just be coincidental, but I'm usually asked for the same dishes and items repeatedly during a cruise. Those dishes are always different for each cruise, but usually by the third day, I have pretty good idea what many of the repeat dishes will be so once I give that order to the ship, I remake it to stack on my counters.

When I'm preparing for a cruise, I usually put a way one or two counters. I have found in the past that I'll over make food, run out of counters and can't clear my stove to make an order. Putting away a counter or two gives me a bit of cushion when I accidentally over prep.

The cruise orders are always (except for hamburgers) a few short of a double order. So once I have 5-10 times an order of an item, I stop making it and focus on building up other supplies. That gives me enough to cover several cruise orders if I get some back to back plus have enough to keep serving the two tables I leave open to avoid any program issues. Once I give the orders to the cruise, I will then replenish. And I usually do my replenishing once I finish out that day and don't have to worry about blocking a stove for active orders.

I always leave 2 chairs open and turn the others around (that way I don't have to redecorate and it makes turning a chair around fast if I need to open one up fast). I've never had an issue with this set up plus it allows me to continue to collect from CID, the herb girl and all my gem supplies visitors. I don't want to lose out on those gem recipes so I keep collecting throughout the cruise. And if a bunch of them walk in at the same time, I can quickly turn a few chairs around, serve them, collect the gem supplies and quickly turn the chairs back to no service lickity split.

Sorry this happened to you. It's happened to me numerous times. It's a sync issue so it will probably keep happening every so often. Although it doesn't make anything better at least you know you are not alone and we understand.

Thank you for answering. Oh I thought they give gem recipes for cruises? Did that change? I thought I had one from a past cruise.

The cruise events use to give gem recipes with specific visitors who provide the needed supplies to make the recipes as the ultimate reward but a few cruises back one of the cruises provided a stove as the reward. It probably makes sense to provide a variety of rewards, otherwise our restaurants would get over run with gem visitors and we would be drowning in gems in a few months. Although I personally would love that, from a developers POV, that might not be so good for the game.

The first stove didn't do much for me but this latest one comes with a ton of great money making recipes that use common ingredients. The tree bread is awesome. I start that recipe before I go to any of the other stoves in my restaurant. It helps with bringing in the money which we need when trying to upgrade any of the stores once you hit 5 items. Each one is around $1.5 million coins! So as of right now, I'm appreciating this new reward (although I love my gem recipes!)

I got the Snowy Oven and started cooking with it. But, why this Oven cannot be found on my Discovery Table which suppose to show receipes of every appliance I have? Without this, I cant see what to cook until dish removed from the oven. Can this be fixed? Thx.

That's weird because I can see oven in the cookbook :/ Maybe try to force close the game or reinstall it?

I know you already got some great answers to your questions but I wanted to add my two cents.

There is no way to know what dishes are going to come up, however, I've notice, and it may just be coincidental, but I'm usually asked for the same dishes and items repeatedly during a cruise. Those dishes are always different for each cruise, but usually by the third day, I have pretty good idea what many of the repeat dishes will be so once I give that order to the ship, I remake it to stack on my counters.

When I'm preparing for a cruise, I usually put a way one or two counters. I have found in the past that I'll over make food, run out of counters and can't clear my stove to make an order. Putting away a counter or two gives me a bit of cushion when I accidentally over prep.

The cruise orders are always (except for hamburgers) a few short of a double order. So once I have 5-10 times an order of an item, I stop making it and focus on building up other supplies. That gives me enough to cover several cruise orders if I get some back to back plus have enough to keep serving the two tables I leave open to avoid any program issues. Once I give the orders to the cruise, I will then replenish. And I usually do my replenishing once I finish out that day and don't have to worry about blocking a stove for active orders.

I always leave 2 chairs open and turn the others around (that way I don't have to redecorate and it makes turning a chair around fast if I need to open one up fast). I've never had an issue with this set up plus it allows me to continue to collect from CID, the herb girl and all my gem supplies visitors. I don't want to lose out on those gem recipes so I keep collecting throughout the cruise. And if a bunch of them walk in at the same time, I can quickly turn a few chairs around, serve them, collect the gem supplies and quickly turn the chairs back to no service lickity split.

What are these gem supplies visitors/recipes that you speak of?

I can see it on iOS but not Android. My experience has been that non-critical problems reported on Android usually won't get fixed. They're often not fixed on iOS but there are less problems.

Rs2 has a login option: http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?59955-iOS-amp-Android-New-Login-feature-in-Limited-Games!
After you have you login info you can reinstall game and after just login and have all your progress saved!
Also as nmishii said maybe it's a problem for android, coz I have iOS!
But I dunno if this would help :< you might need to write support if this issue wouldn't be resolved

To make the gem recipes, you need one special ingredient/supplies not found in any of the stores. That ingredient/supplies is provided by a visitor you win if you complete the entire cruise. During the Hawaiian cruise the visitor was a hula girl named Luana. Once you won Luana, she will come every few hours to your restaurant with the supplies you need to make the gem recipes just like CID gives you upgrade supplies and the herb girl gives you herbs and gardening supplies.

Someone checked your game and they can see this oven in your discovery table.
Please try uninstalling and reinstalling the game. If you still cannot see it, please send an email to support@storm8.com and send a private message to

Ok thanks. Was there a special character with this cruise? I completed the cruise but no special character showed up so I was wondering if you get one from each cruise.

The prize this time around was the stove loaded with non gem recipes so there is no need for a special character to drop special supplies. All the ingredients are available in the stores. So no special character this time around. Hopefully next time. I love the special characters!

Its still a general problem because it shows in iOS but not Android. Can you rereport this for Android in general, even though it'll likely be ignored because it's an Android-only problem? I am on the latest version of RS2 on Android.

It is worth it, not only is there a happy snowman cheese plate but all of the recipes create a lot of coins for not being put in them, especially the holiday tree rolls.

Hi! I just finished the winter cruise, got the snowy oven, but there are no recipes, the recipe area is blank. Is there something I need to do to get them or is it a glitch? The same thing happened with the pirate cruise, but after I contacted support, they all of a sudden appeared a few days later! I have no idea what they did or didn't do then. Please help. Thanks!

Sorry that you arent seeing your recipes. You can try to reinstall the game and see if that helps. If it doesnt, please send an email to support@storm8.com so an agent can check your game and advise you further.

Problem solved without uninstall & reinstall. I see the oven in my discovery table now. Great! :-) It also appears in the appliance column now but labelled w/ 'unlock by event'. It says 'cruise ship departed' whenever I click it. Thank you for your quick response n follow up. HAGD!
Great!! Thanks for reporting the issue!
