The Cruise Ship event in Tiny Bookshop is related to Walt’s memory challenge “The Cruise Ship Must Go.” It takes place at The Waterfront on a specific summer date and can also unlock the Absolute Menace achievement if done correctly.
How to Unlock The Cruise Ship Must Go
Check the Events calendar in the Bookstonbury Review to find Summer 16, when the cruise ship arrives. Visit The Waterfront on that date to trigger the event. Walt will ask for your help in driving the ship away.
Steps to Complete the Challenge
First, complete the Stamp Challenge “Harde Times.” This unlocks access to the Spoiled Fish decoration, found in a garbage bin. Once collected, open your customization menu and place as many Spoiled Fish decorations as possible around your shop.
When the decorations are active, seagulls will begin to gather, scaring tourists away. To keep earning good money during the challenge, stock your shelves with mostly Crime books, which get a sales boost from the Spoiled Fish effect.
Spend the entire day with the decorations placed, then return to The Waterfront the next day to see the cruise ship depart.
Unlocking Absolute Menace Achievement
To earn the Absolute Menace achievement, place the maximum number of Spoiled Fish decorations and visit The Waterfront while the cruise ship is docked. The seagull swarm will complete the requirement.
Final Blurb
The Cruise Ship Must Go is a timed Waterfront event in Tiny Bookshop that combines story progression, decoration strategy, and a unique achievement. Use the Spoiled Fish to call in the seagulls, send the cruise ship packing, and collect your reward.
